McLintock

Andrew V. McLaglen directed this 1963 western comedy starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

John Wayne is a force of nature as cattleman McLintock who rules his ranch with an iron fist...until the return of O'Hara, his estranged wife. Sort of a take off on Taming of the Shrew. O'Hara is great and is a good match for Wayne.

Giant mud pit fight and public spanking add to the slapstick fun you'll find here.

Corny at times but amusing.

Rio Bravo

John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan, Angie Dickinson star in this 1959 western from Howard Hawks.

A western classic.

Lawman and his deputies, including a drunk and an old man, try to hold a murderer in their town's jail 'til a U.S. Marshal arrives while the killer's brother makes life difficult for them.

Strangely cohesive mix of action, suspense, and humor. Everyone in the cast does a fine job...especially Dean Martin.
