     Empty-headed Western comedy of sorts starring everyone’s swaggering hero, John Wayne. Wayne plays G.W. McLintock, a busily boozing cattle baron, lonely despite the love and admiration of the townsfolk. When his estranged city slicker wife and young daughter come to town, he knows that something’s brewing. Mrs. McLintock (Maureen O’Hara), a fiery redhead who takes guff from no one, storms through the town as if she owns it, divorce papers clutched in her refined hand. Well, divorce will have to wait; McLintock has other matters on his mind: settlers on his land, the arrival of Native American friends, and the visit of the grimy governor. Lacking both comical situations and Western heroics this film seems to be at a standstill throughout, unless you call repeated scenes of male chauvinism funny and heroic.
