McLintock!

In this legendary John Wayne film, the cattle rancher McLintock puts his brand on the territory and every woman in it! The lovely Louise Warren plays a widow who moves with her two children onto McLintock's ranch to serve as cook, while Maureen O'Hara plays the estranged wife. Every great Western staple is accounted for: Cowboys, Indians, gun battles and fistfights. Plus, that pair of (now infamous) spanking scenes! A western version of "Taming of the Shrew," John Wayne stars as Cattle baron George Washington McLintock, who fights with his wife, his daughter, and political land-grabbers, finally "taming" them all.
