Frontier Marshal is a 1934 western film directed by Lewis Seiler. Produced by Fox Film and Sol M. Wurtzel, the film is the first based on Stuart N. Lake's enormously popular but largely fictitious "biography" of Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal. A second version of the film, also produced by Wurtzel, was made in 1939, and then a third interpretation by John Ford entitled My Darling Clementine was released in 1946.
Wyatt Earp is renamed "Michael Wyatt" in this early film.
