Trivia

# The "mudhole" in which the famous brawl took place wasn't actually made of mud. It was made of a material called bentonite, which is used in the drilling of oil wells and has the consistency of chocolate syrup. According to actor Leo Gordon (the first one to be knocked down it), that scene took a week to shoot.

# Promotional events were postponed for a week following the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

# Although Stephanie Powers claims that John Ford came to the set to direct the movie for a week, Andrew V. McLaglen the director says that it never happened. He says he was there for the entire shoot of the movie.

Goofs

# Continuity: After McLintock hires young Devlin, McLintock drives off with Drago sitting to his left. The wagon turns around (off-screen) and heads out of town. After the off-screen turnaround, the characters have traded places in the buggy and Drago is now on McLintock's right.

# Continuity: In the opening credits there is an artist's rendering of the town of McLintock, with signs for every building indicating that every business in town is owned by McLintock. The sign on one of the buildings misspells McLintock as "McClintock."

Memorable Quotes

George Washington McLintock: I know I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in 40 years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this monring, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't
[Belts man in the mouth]

George Washington McLintock: I've got a touch of hangover, bureaucrat. Don't push me.

Drago: I'm sorry Katherine - that Katie just slipped out from times when I remember you as being nice people...
Katherine McClintock: Are you going to stand there with that stupid look on your face while the hired help insults your wife?
George Washington McLintock: He can't help it - he's just ignorant. He doesn't know any better than to tell the truth. And I can't help this stupid look. I started acquiring it as you gained in social prominence!

George Washington McLintock: And I am *not* intoxicated... yet!

George Washington McLintock: You know, if we had any moral character, we wouldn't be standing here covered with mud drinkin', when we should be washing.
Drago: [raises his glass] G.W.?
George Washington McLintock: [raises his glass] Drago.
[they click glasses and down their drinks]

George Washington McLintock: This is probably the first marriage I've ever seen that started out with a spanking!

George Washington McLintock: Cuthbert H. Humphrey, Governor of our territory, is a cull. Do you know what a cull is, ma'am? A cull is a specimen that is so worthless that you have to cut him out of the herd. Now if all the people in the world were put in one herd, Cuthbert is the one I would throw a rope at.

[Becky and Matt Douglas Jr. are watching a fight]
Becky McLintock: Such vulgarity. Somebody should do something.
Matt Douglas Jr: You're right... absolutely right.
[he adjusts his glasses and watches more closely and Becky does a double-take]

George Washington McLintock: Dev, what are you doing?
Devlin Warren: I just thought I'd get another cigar.
George Washington McLintock: Well you've got one in your mouth and two burning in the tray... and that move.

Becky McLintock: Junior's not a dude - he's nifty!

[Curly indicates a hat hanging from the weather vane]
Curly Fletcher: Makes seven times this month he's come home swoggled.
Drago: Six.
Curly Fletcher: Seven!
Drago: Six! Once was his birthday - that don't count.

George Washington McLintock: If these settlers get burned out, there'll be a lot of hollerin' that this country is too wild to be a state. We'll go on bein' a territory some more, with a lot of political appointees runnin' it according to what they learned in some college where they think cows are somethin' you milk and Indians are somethin' in front of a cigar store.

George Washington McLintock: Becky! Come here. Somethin' I ought to tell you. Guess now's as good a time as any. You're going to have every young buck west of the Missouri around here tryin' to marry you - mostly because you're a handsome filly, but partly because I own everything in this country from here to there. They'll think you're going to inherit it. Well, you're not. I'm going to leave most of it to, well, to the nation really, for a park where no lumbermen'll cut down all the trees for houses with leaky roofs. Nobody'll kill all the beaver for hats for dudes nor murder the buffalo for robes. What I'm going to give you is a 500 cow spread on the Upper Green River. Now that may not seem like much, but it's more than we had, your mother and I. Some folks are gonna say I'm doin' all this so I can sit up in the hereafter and look down on a park named after me, or that I was disappointed in you - didn't want you to get all that money. But the real reason, Becky, is because I love you, and I want you and some young man to have what I had, because all the gold in the United States Treasury and all the harp music in heaven can't equal what happens between a man and a woman with all that growin' together. I can't explain it any better than that.

George Washington McLintock: Don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot ya!

INFORMATION IMDb

Hi,

A great classic, and probably a favourite for most of us and our families.
Good all round entertainment, and a joy to watch.
There is no mistaking the chemistry between Duke and Maureen,
and their inter-action, is brilliant.
an interesting and fun film to watch.
With son Patrick and other well known favourites, they all played well.
Duke gave Yvonne DeCarlo, a part as a typical gesture, as her husband stuntman Bob Morgan, had recently suffered a dreadful accident, in the making of HOW THE WEST WAS WON
Although Duke wanted a commercial success, to put Batjac, in United Artists, good books, the film suffered from lack of action.
The film, did however, prove a popular success, and remained a favourite,
not only amongst his fans, but Duke, himself.
Rating 8/10

Here is a Story about the making of "McLintock" as told by Duke's Oldest Son Mike in the late 1980s in Sedona, Arizona, at a 80th. Birthday Party for Duke by Movie People that had Retired there. :D

DUKE'S 80th. BIRTHDAY PARTY ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Chilibill :cowboy:

I watched this film for the first time yesterday and thought it was great. The "I'm not intoxicated...YET!" line was memorable. A great performance by all invovled in this film, it has definately become on of my favourites.

This ranks right up there as one of the more light-hearted of Duke's movies, truly fun!

And now that it has been "officially" released, we can enjoy it in a good quality! :lol:

Both Deep Discount DVD ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) and Amazon ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) have both the new, "official" Paramount's John Wayne Collection DVD, and also the "inferior" "unofficial" release that we have all come to hate :P . Deep Discount also boasts one movie poster for this movie.

Hi,
I have been researching all the threads, back to the start of the JWMB,
looking for previous discussion, relating to this movie..
I have found the following, comments, and have copied them here,
so that they are now under one forum:-

Hondo And Mclintock, Do they live up to the hype? ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Mclintock!, What didn't you like about it ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Does anyone know if the Mclintock house was real or just built for the set? I was also wondering if anyone could identify the attractive actress who plays young Ben Sage's sister. She is featured in several scenes, but I have never seen her name listed anywhere.

Nathan,

You can go here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) to read about the State Park in the San Raphael Valley, Arizona, where, at the end of the article, they mention McLintock.

I couldn't find anything about Ben Sage's sister.

Chester :newyear:

I watched Mclintock! this past weekend and that started me wondering about the house location. Thanks Chester, for the web link. I also learned from the site that the house was used in the film Oklahoma.

-ncb

Wasn't the house used in "Tom Horn" (with Steve McQueen & Linda Evans) as well? I remember thinking "that's the house from 'McLintock' " when I first saw "Tom Horn".

Dexter,

Here's a link for the Filming Locations for Tom Horn ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). Looks like the closest place to Patagonia, AZ, that they list, is Mescal, AZ. I don't know how close that is to the ranch house.

Hey Chester ! I did a little more looking & found an Arizona commerce website which lists Arizona locations. It's got "Tom Horn" listed (for the wrong year though) on page 81 of that pdf file & it shows the locations as Old Tucson, Mescal, & the San Rafael Valley. Since they got the year wrong, I don't know how reliable their info. is, but... It's at [Only registered and activated users can see links] It may just be me. The scene in "Tom Horn" is the one where Tom is first meeting the ranchers who hired him & they're having a large meal outdoors at a ranch. The house sure looks like the same one from "McLintock"....

I see there is pictures up there now! some more pics of JW for me, yay!

DW,

I'm glad you were able to find out more information. I checked out the link you gave us, and it is certainly relevant to anyone wanting to learn more about film history in AZ.

Chester :newyear:

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I have looked the site over and have not been able to find an answer to my question. Is there a DVD out there that is approved by the Wayne Family?. The only McLINTOCK! DVD's I have been able to find are of absolute poor quality and not even worth watching. On a side note: my 15 yr old son never was much interested in Duke movies until I made him sit and watch Sands of Iwo Jima. At the end of the movie I caught him crying and saying I should have warned him about the Japanese soldier. Long story short, I have succesfully gained a watching partner.

Hi Fayso 1332

I am sure that others have already welcomed
you to this wonderful JWMB, but let me add my
own when I say. Welcome to the best place to
be when it comes to all things John Wayne.

As for your question about McLintock. I have
a a wide screen DVD copy from the John Wayne
Collection from Paramount. It also contains Special
features and over 2 1/2 hours of exclusive commentaries.
I get all of my DVD's from Amazon. I hope this helps you.

Best wishes

Emmanuel.

Fayso,

May I add a welcome to this great message board. This movie mentioned above from Paramount Pictures Inc. is issued from the Wayne family. It is a great quality of movie in widescreen format. We've talked about this for a long time before it came out back October 15, 2005. We have been on fire with it every since. You may find it at your video store but as Emmanuel and ejgreen77 you can order it from Amazon.com

Cheers B)

Like the others have mentioned, they finally released the authorized version last year and it is perfect. Look for it in a "white" dvd packaging. I have seen it at Best Buy and Target in the past coupel weeks. And like the others said you can get it at Amazon or you can try Deep Discount DVD.

On another note, welcome to the site and I know you will enjoy your time here.

Fayso1332,

Your question has been answered quite well by others already, so really, our only reason for posting now is to WELCOME you to the John Wayne Message Board, the very best of its kind on the 'Net!

We're really happy to hear about your "watching partner" - good job, Dad!!

Chester :newyear: and the Mrs. :angel1:

You all my want to smack me in the ass but I just bought a wide screen copy of McLintock from walmart for 5 bucks and it is excellent, much better than the beat VHS copy I bought at a yard sale 6 years ago and have made it smoke more than once however that thing will still play great back up I say :cowboy:

Thanks alot for the answers, I knew I could count on the folks here.

If Duke were alive today he would love to keep this most un-pc picture around just to raise their ier.

Hello all
This member has been waiting for over a year to get some feedback on her question. Considering today is her birthday I was hoping someone could offer some information regarding her question of pay equity on a set ( see post that proceeds this one)

I wish I could help Maudy out with that one Kilo, but I've read many of Duke's bio's and don't remember coming across something like that. That isn't to say it's not true, rather that I don't remember. I hope someone can bring up something for her though. Good Luck.
Bo

Howdy all,
I wish I could give a definite answer as to whether or not what Maudy heard was true. Unfortunately I can't. I have never heard that particular story, but I have heard similar ones, from both sides of the fence. I think I can, however, say that Duke was definitely not a racist. He did not approve of the socialist leanings of the welfare system (cradle to grave socialism he called it), and he did not approve of the government putting anyone on the dole, who was able to work and support themselves, but would not. I think, based on what I've read about him, that if he did hear of a group of workers (regardless of their race) that were being openly discriminated against simply because of their race, he would have said and/or done something about it. Exactly what, I couldn't say. I know this doesn't really answer the question, but I hope it helps.
Best to All,
Colorado Bob

Hi

John Ford ensured that all ethnic races worked on his pictures and ensured that they had the same living conditions and received the same pay.

I don't think it would be too unreasonable to assume that having seen ford at work come to regard the old man like a father that John Wayne would put Ford's views in practice wherever he worked.

Regards

Arthur

Hi All

Recently purchased the Region 1 version of Mc Lintock. The difference between the Offiical Region1 and the Public Domain Region 2 versions in Europe is Mindblowing.


Absolutely superb. Definitely go for it if you have a multi region dvd player.

Out of interest does anyone know how this film fell into public domain as I would have thought the rights would have still been with Batjac?


Mike

Hi,
I too have Region 2 version always worring about it poor quality and thinking about purchasing new official version. Besides it has many interesting features.
Regards,
Senta :rolleyes:

Hi Senta

Here's the link to were I got my DVD. I bought Hondo here too.

It fell into the public domain because of legal squabbling. Four songs from the film are still under copyright so technically a DVD label would have to pay music rights to use those scenes, or change the music itself.

Hi Mike,
thank you for the link, it was new for me. The prices are rather high, they write about free delivery, but not international I guess, so I better will buy DVDs on ol Amazon or MoviesUnlimited to which I used. I already have Collector editions of Hondo, Island in the Sky and High and the Mighty from that bunch of DVDs.
Regards,
Senta :rolleyes:

Hi ya'll,

I always enjoy all of the Duke's movies!

I also enjoyed McLintock!

BUT......for some reason, the Maureen O'Hara character really grates me.. I know she's supposed to be a "shrill" of a woman, but I do not find her likable at all. I guess I am too spoiled with the other fine character's Maureen had played with John:smile: and I tried to like the character, but I can't.

Not only that....why does everyone pronounce his name, McLintock, differently?

Other than that...I always love to watch John Wayne in any type of situation.

Hi Keith

The picture of Duke here in the white suit is from 'Big Jake', this is probably again down to the changeover.

:agent:

Robbie , thanks,

Hi,
I really enjoy this movie, and if I am wanting to watch something that is fun and light hearted that is the movie that I always pick! Of course with having John Wayne and Maureen O' Hara in a movie who could go wrong! Thier chemistry in my opinon is one of the best on screen pairing out there!
Stacy

Check out this from Google video. Low quality, though.

Hey, the quality's not any worse than the "unauthorized" Good Times Video version. This is pretty amazing!

Chester :newyear:

I guess the spanking scene near the end of the movie was a pretty big deal, since that's what's pictured on the poster -

2023

I have not been here in awhile, so forgive me if this question has already been posted.
I was able to pick up a DVD copy of "McLintock". Why so cheap? Was this not a BatJac production? I thought it was very strange a film so good was available for less than a dollar. I just don't get it.

Harry,

It's good to see you back!!

Your question has been discussed quite a bit on this board, and you can read that discussion here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). I searched quite extensively, and found three threads which discussed mostly the same thing, so I merged them into one, though I didn't merge them with this thread (I didn't want to overwhelm Keith's work here with extensive previous discussion).

Thanks for asking!

Chester :newyear:

I bought mine at the local Wal-Mart for less than 5 bucks and believe me, you get what you pay for as the video is really awful and yep there it is, good ol' GoodTimes Video. Ah well. Got to go buy the new version.

gt - the approved dvd is widescreen with a beautiful picture resolution.
Cheers - Jay:beer:

The official version now available in Region 1 & 2 are the only versions to buy. The other cheap public domain prints knocking about are really awful and only fit for the bin.

Mike

The official version now available in Region 1 & 2 are the only versions to buy. The other cheap public domain prints knocking about are really awful and only fit for the bin.

Mike

I agree, the remastering of the official edition makes the cheapie version look like a piece of static.

It's a good film, although a bit too much talk between the fights. It looks pretty amazing in widescreen on the new edition DVD.

Here are examples of the book and the comic about the movie. Enjoy!

i thought this movie was one of the Dukes funniest movies. but him and Maureen always make a good team.

i ve just watched this and really enjoyed it. the comedy reminded me a bit of big jake. i also thought it was a great performance by maureen o'hara. the background information on the dvd was useful

You're right Badger, always a fan favorite and it always seems to get played at my house 6-8 times a year.

Thanks for the memories. I can only wish that I was there. Glad you decided to make a website to share your experiences.

For "McLintock" Newbies:

Newcomers to "McLintock" may not immediately recognize that the plot is based on Shakespeare's play "Taming of the Shrew", later showing up on Broadway and in motion pictures as Cole Porter's musical, "Kiss Me Kate".

As noted in another post the PC media environs has made this film an unpopular choice for network TV viewing.

I still get a Big Kick out watching this Film, it is Duke and Maureen at their Best !!!
