McLintock!
Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen
- Mister ArnJune 23, 2025“McLintock!” is one of John Wayne’s most iconic films, big, loud, and full of Western stereotypical comedy. It wears its era proudly, from the Technicolor charm to the gender roles that haven’t aged well. What once played as playful banter between Wayne and O’Hara now lands with a more uncomfortable edge, especially the film’s infamous spanking scene, which was meant for laughs but feels jarring today. Still, the movie gives both stars ample space to showcase their chemistry and charisma, even if the story surrounding them is dated.
