The Kevin Costner movie did touch on his dark side. From being a drunk bum who gets arrested for stealing a horse. To a stubborn, cocky, law man who gets fired for police brutality. His best bud, in the movie, was a drunk, woman beating, card shark, degenerate gambler, murderer, thief. His common law wife was a junkie ex prostitute. Not very flattering.
The ending also touched on how a lot of his exploits were fabricated or at least exaggerated.
If it wasn't for his participation in the shootout at the OK Corral, he would probably be just a small foot note in western history.
