Plots(1)
A middle-aged cattle baron, George Washington McLintock (John Wayne) has his hands full with his estranged wife (Maureen O'Hara), who walked out on him two years before without any explanation and returns to get a divorce in order to move out east for good with their daughter Becky (Stephanie Powers). Things on the cattle ranch aren't that rosy either; he's got government officials underfoot, an inept Indian agent and a corrupt land agent pushing farm land on homesteaders who are pouring in to farm on land barely adequate for cattle to graze on. The short sighted territorial governor and the government back east are trying to push the Indians - whose chiefs are some of McLintock's oldest enemies and his best and most honored friends - by shipping them off to a reservation.

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara fit together perfectly here, and it's nice to see how they're both grumpy at each other the whole time, only for it to eventually lead to them getting together. The very end might be a bit too quick, but her escape through the town at least somewhat makes up for it. It's sometimes overly slapstick, but it doesn't matter because John Wayne is there.
