Movie

McLintock!

1963 · 127 min

A boisterous, good-natured Western comedy full of brawls, banter, and broad slapstick, with a warm nostalgic glow and a few uncomfortable old-fashioned attitudes.

Tagline: Never such a tender love story! Never such a savage showdown! Never such restless natives!
Overview: Aging rancher and self-made man, George Washington McLintock is forced to deal with numerous personal and professional problems. Seemingly everyone wants a piece of his enormous farmstead, including high-ranking government men and nearby Native Americans. As McLintock tries to juggle his various adversaries, his wife—who left him two years previously—suddenly returns. But she isn't interested in George; she wants custody of their daughter.
