Westerns of the 60's: McClintock!
By the early 1960's John Wayne had been in almost 150 movies (most of them were cheap westerns). But after when his 1960 western-comedy North to Alaska was a hit, "The Duke" was looking for a movie that could capitalize its success. With help from his oldest son Michael, Wayne wanted to make a western-comedy based on the William Shakespere play "The Taming of the Shrew". The result would turn out to be McClintock! I really enjoyed it. Best thing about it was the antics that Maureen O'Hara gets into.
