McLintock! (1963)
American Western Comedy.
Wealthy rancher G.W. McLintock uses his power and influence in the territory to keep the peace between farmers, ranchers, land-grabbers, Indians and corrupt government officials.
The inspiration for this raucous John Wayne comedy was none other than William Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew”, which producer Michael Wayne and director Andrew V. McLaglen thought would have even more of a comedic kick if it were set in the Old West.
McLintock! was filmed in Technicolor and Panavision, and produced by Wayne’s company, Batjac Productions.
Filming took place at Old Tucson Studios, west of Tucson, Arizona, and at San Rafael Ranch House – San Rafael State Natural Area, south of Patagonia, Arizona, and Nogales.
This was the only film Yvonne De Carlo and John Wayne appeared in together, and the final film of Mari Blanchard.
McLintock! was the second and last picture in which John Wayne uses the term “pilgrim”. The other is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), in which he uses the term 23 times. In this one, he only uses it once.
