Standard Screen; Soundtrack English The battle of the sexes goes into full throttle in this madcap Western.
McLintock is a successful, hard-drinking, rabble-rousing cattle baron whose town is named in his honor. When Katherine, his estranged wife, arrives back in town to seek a divorce, they immediately lock horns and brawl like two alley cats -- often in public. Besides his hot-tempered wife, McLintock also has to contend with his daughter and her suitors, a confrontation between homesteaders and cattlemen, and the government's problems with the local Comanche. John Wayne shows off his funny side in this 1963 western, a comedy inspired by THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Starring as wealthy cattle baron G.W. McLintock, Wayne shows a real sense of comic timing in several scenes filled with slapstick humor. After his wife (Maureen O'Hara) and daughter leave him for the East, McLintock attempts to win them back. The dynamics between O'Hara and Wayne are the strong suit of this film, the actors having worked together previously on THE QUIET MAN.
As this is by no means a revisionist western, McLintock's chauvinistic attempts to "tame" his wife fit within the problematic ideology of the larger western genre. The ultimate example of this comes at the end of the film when McLintock settles his marital dispute by publicly "spanking" his wife in what is now a notorious cinematic moment. MPI Home Video's videocassette #6022 is the "full-length producer's cut" of the film and it is the only version "authorized by the estate of John Wayne." The print for the video was struck from the original negative which was restored under the supervision of Michael Wayne, the film's producer and John Wayne's son. The soundtrack was digitally remastered for stereo.
Color by Technicolor. Shot in Panavision. Mclintock! Reviews: "...This comic-Western variation on THE TAMING OF THE SHREW has a place in the hearts of John Wayne-Maureen O'Hara fans....The film's virtues include a gallery of beloved character actors..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today Mclintock! Movie Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   John wayne comedy western
John Wayne is a wealthy rancher who helped settle the territory. His wife(Maureen O'Hara) wants a divorce and lives back east. The chemistry between the two is outstanding. The ways of the west clash with the prim and proper east makes it very funny. The usual cast that John Wayne has in the movie keep it consistant with his other westerns. Excellent family movie. Good entertainment on a lazy sunday afternoon.

Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne in one of their finest movies. A trip to the Old West complete with Indians, mud holes and plain 'ole fun.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Classic John Wayne
Mcclintock is a classic John Wayne movie. It has not been available long due to legal tie ups, but it is well worth the wait. John Wayne is the typical cattle baron with the heart of gold and down home common sense. He is rich, but has not forgotten his roots. His wife on the other hand, thinks she is much better then she really is. This conflict between the two of them is what makes the movie. If you want John Wayne adventure, and lots of laughs as well, this movie is for you!

But don't buy the Good Times DVD
Good Times used Standard Formatting for this DVD and didn't even bother using "pan and scan," which means that sometimes the person talking is cut out of the picture.
There are also times when short snippets of film are cut out, probably because Good Times did not have a good version of the film.
I am highly disappointed with this DVD, but it really doesn't surprise me; the only other Good Times product in my collection (a VHS tape, which was a gift) is a piece of crud, too.
I have been looking at buying at VHS tape by MPI. The cover reads that it is the only one authorized by the John Wayne Estate, so maybe it is better. I just wish that they would release it on DVD.
In the meantime, do yourself a favor: save you dough and don't buy the DVD until someone comes out with a better version.

$7.05  
The hilarious DONOVAN'S REEF, one of John Ford's rare but memorable forays into comedy, is set on the South Sea island of Haleakoloha, where two navy buddies have decided to stay after World War II. Michael "Guns" Donovan (John Wayne) and Aloysius "Boats" Gilhooley (Lee Marvin), who like to celebrate their mutual birthday every year by trying to beat the hell out of each other, are enacting the ritual in Guns's bar, Donovan's Reef. Dr. William Dedham (Jack Warden), scion of a wealthy family and another societal dropout, breaks up the fight after an appropriate amount of damage has been done. He soon learns that his very proper daughter, Amelia (Elizabeth Allen), is about to arrive from Boston, unaware that he's had three children by a Polynesian princess. Dedham persuades Guns to pretend to be the father of his kids during the visit in order to be spared Amelia's wrath. While Dedham's daughter is initially put off by the juvenile antics of Donovan's crew, the tavern owner's feelings toward her are far more positive. After she beats him in a swimming competition, she begins to see his appeal. Filmed in Kauai, Hawaii, this entertaining family-oriented comedy is stoked with broad physical gags and the inspired tomfoolery of the cast. The most notable performance belongs to Wayne, who ends his long, hugely successful, and artistically ...

$6.95
In this action-packed Western, three wandering sons return home to attend the funeral of their mother, Katie Elder, who's been murdered. The brothers then set their sights on the man responsible for her death, as well as for the death of their father, who was killed six months earlier. They receive help from a fourth brother, who has remained at home. However, getting revenge won't be easy because the culprit, who has also gained possession of the family's ranch, will do anything to stop them--including hiring an assassin to kill the oldest brother, John. This classic late-era John Wayne Western features a musical score that bears a suspicious resemblance to the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN theme. (Both were written by Elmer Bernstein.) Also starring in Henry Hathaway's excellent cast are Dean Martin, Earl Holliman, James Gregory, George Kennedy, and Dennis Hopper.

One of John Ford's most cherished projects, THE QUIET MAN took years to finance but became one of his greatest box-office successes and an enduringly beloved classic. John Wayne stars as Sean Thornton, a retired American boxing champion trying to put tragedy behind him by returning to Innisfree, the bucolic Irish village of his birth. He purchases his birthplace from its current owner, enraging the wealthy and bellicose Red Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who had designs on the property. On arriving at his cottage, Thornton finds it being swept out by Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara), a redheaded vision from whom he steals a not completely unwelcome kiss. After engaging in a subterfuge involving a horse race, some of the locals manage to get the disgruntled Red Will to allow his sister to be courted by the American. But the courtship ritual of the village is only the first of many local practices that the bewildered Thornton must endure if he is to have Mary Kate. Wayne gives a surprisingly nuanced performance as the fish out of water, and he is ...

Mclintock! movie DVD
$10.85
Baltimore director John Waters's outrageous 1971 debut PINK FLAMINGOS burst onto the filmmaking scene like the ample flesh of its drag-queen star through the seams of a lamé dress. Conceived as a way to garner attention for Waters's fledgling career, this paean to bad taste certainly did just that--so much so that decades later, the film still retains the power to shock with its gleeful demolition of every known human taboo.
Waters's attempt at making the most vile and offensive movie ever made is aptly mirrored in his characters' competition for the title of "Filthiest Person Alive." Overweight transvestite and Waters muse Divine (aka Glen Milstead) stars as the current record holder, Babs Johnson, who lives in a trailer park with her trashy friend Cotton (Mary Vivian Pearce), incestuous son Crackers (Danny Mills), and mentally-stunted mother Edie (Edith Massey), who spends her time in a playpen and is obsessed with eggs. Vying for Babs's filthy title is evil middle-class couple Raymond (David Lochary) and Connie Marble (Mink Stole), who fund porno shops, sell heroin to grade-schoolers, and run a white-slave trade that involves kidnapping young women, imprisoning them ...

Artie DeVanzo (Artie Lange) is a loveable loser whose New Jersey softball team is about to be expelled from the league. One too many on-field fights has alerted the authorities to DeVanzo and his boozy ways, and the team must put a winning streak together to salvage their status. Meanwhile, DeVanzo's off-field life starts to improve after he meets and falls in love with a local girl, who is attracted to him despite the fact that he still lives with his parents and is a hopeless alcoholic. The film builds to an amusing climax as the members of the softball team get their act together and start to rise through the ranks.
