Released in 1963 and directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, "McLintock" stars John Wayne as as the eponymous big rancher in Arizona who tries to keep the peace with his estranged wife (O'Hara), new settlers, fork-tongued government agents and uprising Natives. Stephanie Powers plays his daughter and Patrick Wayne her romantic interest. The notable cast also includes the stunning Yvonne De Carlo and Strother Martin.
My title blurb pretty much tells you everything you need to know, except that this movie is as politically incorrect as you can get. When it comes to Western comedies I'm more into films like 1976's "The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox," but I have to admit that I watched "McLintock!" with a bemused grin for its entire 2 hour and 7 minute runtime.
The movie was shot entirely in Arizona, including Old Tucson.
GRADE: B-
