Mini Biography
The son of actor Victor McLaglen, he grew up around movie people
and early on, developed an affinity for the business.
Briefly involved in production of industrial films, he entered Hollywood filmmaking i
n the late 1940s, initially working as an assistant director
(on such films as The Quiet Man which costarred his father
and gave him the opportunity to work with John Ford).
McLaglen made his solo directorial debut with Gun the Man Down (1956),
and worked steadily throughout the late 1950s, the 1960s,
and the 1970s before slowing up somewhat.
He specialized in Westerns and adventure films-especially
those of his father's frequent costar John Wayne and,
while lacking any specific visual "trademark," turned out consistently
entertaining and commercial movies.
He also became a prolific TV director, helming episodes of "Perry Mason,"
"Rawhide," and "Have Gun-Will Travel," among others.
He was the principal director of "Gunsmoke" during its
first years on the air.
