Tonight on TV: Unjustly overlooked, this West returns to John Wayne with a quiet human casting

Between John Wayne and Andrew McLaglen, it’s a long and beautiful story. Among the films that have noticed their cooperation, there are clearly fire Hell (1968), The Western Giants (1969), Chisum (1970), or The Gallows (1973) (who loves John Winnie’s career at least).

But it was a great McLintock, who noted the start of cooperation with the two main monuments of the cinema. In 1963 he was released in the cinema, with the West of John Wayne, Mauren O’Hara, Patrick Wayne, Chil Will, Stephanie Power or Ivon de Carlo.

George Washington McLintock, the owner of the largest ranch in the region, is rich, respects and is afraid of everyone except his wife, Catherine, who returns after a two -year absence demanding a divorce and for the guardianship of their daughter, Rebecca. Unfortunately, none of the two are going to capitulate in favor of others.

When the Duke was playing brilliantly in comedy

Noted that by 5 to 2.7 by viewers Grand McLintock Unjustly unjustly unknown to the general public, or at least not valued at other iconic Westerners John Wein. Reason? Unlike most of the films on the screen of a huge actor, he is, first and foremost, a comedy.

Indeed, Grand McLintock Characterized by character between an exciting and humorous relationship John WeinGeorge Washington McLintock and his ex -wife, Catherine Mauren O’Hara.

A big bush joke, Grand McLintock There is a film that does not take itself seriously, it burns for two hours of burning carton, funny situations (we especially think about the famous spanking scene), or even potache humor, even Mako!

This lighter and more parody approach to the West, so it may surprise some viewers who are accustomed to the epic dramas of the genre (Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Western conquest, desert prisoner, etc.)

But don’t be mistaken, this West remains necessary in filmography John Wein. In addition, among the most positive criticism published on distribution, we can read:

“This is the most angry, most exciting and most burrulous Western ever“(Ykarpathakis157)

“It is well done, it is a good kid, the comic pace works well even in the western“(Bobmorane63)

“Grand McLintock It remains quite entertaining in the West with its comical and quite restless treatment of the genre that contradicts both the more classical Western and more modern and violent forms“(Ricco92)

“We sometimes laughed with a good heart, the whole emits good humor, dresses Mauren O’Hara Excellent while the distribution is of high quality“(Play again, Sam)
