Okay having read the dreadful reviews here I must say I agree with Mini, and that I enjoyed the movie.

So many people here are writing comments without actually ever having seen it, and for that.... well... they need spanking!!!!!! Ignoring that fact that spankos are portrayed as being damaged goods, which I did find jarring in the movie and books alike, (and is also a predominant theme in a spanko-favourite movie Secretary), I thought there was a lot of good steamy spank scenes in this film, as Mini points out. My vanilla female work colleagues all loved it and found it sexy, so that has got to be saying something about their acceptance of our kink. Sure, it is not hard-core accurate and is definitely flawed on the level of its portrayal of TTWD (however it did include safe words and a written contract), but for females wanting a sexy chick flick with some added spanking scenes (Mills and Boony romance with kink) then this is a great pic! Don't be so quick to judge so harshly peeps without first seeing it for yourselves and getting a sex-change to female !!!!

My overall opinion is that the movie had more humour than the book, and showed a pleasing amount of spanking scenes, which were eaten up by mainstream vanilla viewers, leaving them intrigued with the sexy dynamics of our kink. So in terms of a spanking romance chic flick, what's not to like when this movie is clearly paving the way to acceptance of adult spanking in mainstream media and acceptance at large.

Hey, if you enjoy watching John Wayne portray the same type of character as he did in at least 95% of his films (I once saw him even playing a German naval captain that way), "McLintock" is a fine film which also includes a couple of M/F spanking scenes--a coal shovel is such an underused punitive implement, I've noticed that on 'SpankingTube.'

Of course, his most emphatic portrayal of such a character occurred in the original "True Grit," except that the guy actually interrupted the picture's M/f switching scene--the guy won his only Oscar for pretty much performing an intensified version of his standard role... --C.K.

An excellent performance! No one could portray John Wayne better than the Duke himself. Why not give him an Oscar?

How about the Duke of Burgandy????? I so must check out that movie!!!! But yeah, I loved McLintock! So much humor and such a classic.

One of the best roles I ever saw Wayne in was The Shootist, his final film, in which he did effectively play a version of many of his other screen roles.

There is an old story about John Wayne that's really too good to check if it's really true. It seems that a late night radio call-in show had an impromptu John Wayne impression contest. Being equal parts bored and intrigued, the Duke himself anonymously called in to compete. He didn't win!

There's a story about him and Jimmy Stewart and how they encountered some people protesting the Vietnam War at some event they attended. One sign in particular upset Stewart because he'd recently lost his stepson in the war. Wayne told him to wait and went into the crowd to 'speak' to the protesters. What happened is unclear, but the sign came down. That just seemed to indicate that the persona John Wayne played on screen was very close to how he was off it as well.

It is a little hard to believe that 50 plus years after the fact we are discussing "Mclintock" once again. Maureen O'Hara makes no mention of the film, that I can recall, in her Autobiography. She talks about the making of "Only the Lonely", John Candy's last complete film and a discussion with the director about the F word and her refusal to use it could cause the film to fail.
She did not and the movie was a success.
For John Wayne he probably thought spanking Maureen O'Hara with a coal shovel was just another day at the ranch but oh my it certainly became a members favorite.
You can bet your bottom dollar that someone, somewhere on a Saturday night around the world is watching "Mclintock. "
Oh yes if I am imprisoned in a futuristic library/prison I may find time to read and view "Fifty Shades."

Or to put it less kindly, he had a very limited range as an actor. Or maybe he deliberately chose to have a limited range. The same could be said of Clint Eastwood too. Having said that, I am very fond of "McLintock!" The build-up to the second spanking, that long drawn out chase, is pure genius. It has to be one of the most erotic things ever put on film - yet all under the guise of family entertainment!
