Sometimes John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are really cute together, and sometimes the rest of the movie is so terrible there's nothing they can do to save it. John's son, Patrick Wayne costars in McLintock! alongside his dad, but not even his ridiculously handsome, chiseled mug makes this movie worthwhile. I didn't make it all the way through, and for me to actually turn off a movie, that says volumes.In the story, John and Maureen are an estranged married couple who obviously still have feelings for each other. Patrick plays a handsome hired hand-John Wayne is a rancher-and when Stefanie Powers steps into the picture, playing the visiting daughter, sparks fly. This is one of those silly sixties comedies, and the acting was so all-around terrible, I just couldn't keep watching it. I can pick any other Maureen O'Hara movie if I want to see her overact, and I can pick any other John Wayne movie if I want to hear him be wooden and obnoxious.

Got nothing else to do so let's make a comedy, drama, Shake-a-Speer rip off western on the cheep so we can recoup some of the money we lost from the Alamo disaster. Some great film making came out of this era but this one is not to be taken seriously. So light hearted & slap stick, it just struck me as stupid. Were the audiences so pedestrian back then that they bought the John Wayne as the most high, all wise Character he portrays. There is nothing to like about Maureen O'Hara's character either. In fact, I couldn't find any likable characters. I did feel sorry for those Indian extra's. They looked really bored. The good guys always win but sometimes the audience looses. But just stick in a happy ending, wait I missed the ending. Had to do fold laundry or something like that.

Wealthy cattle baron George Washington McLintock (John Wayne) has his hands full dealing with land grabbers and crooked politicians. Now his estranged hot-tempered wife Katherine (Maureen O'Hara) returns to take their daughter Becky (Stefanie Powers) back with her to the "civilized" East. I think this is John Wayne's best comedy. Any movie with Wayne and O'Hara together is worth seeing. They're both great here. Excellent supporting cast. Most famous for being the movie where Duke chases Maureen O'Hara and finally spanks her in front of the entire town. Easily offended types should avoid this like the plague. Everybody else sit back and enjoy a fun movie.
