Best Scene in "McLintock!" 1963

Ah, for when times were this simple.
This is in my opinion one of the absolute best scenes in"McLintock!" staring John Wayne.

[@Sigma0283]

I like how G.W. just sits by doing nothing as he lights a cigar. He pretty much could tell Dev and Becky were attracted to each other, he just let let them work their differences out.

[@JWBabaYaga]

Indeed. They reminded him of himself and Kate.

[@jessicasnustad2162]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

[@larschristiansteenberg1460]

So do I, and I love this scene much more than the second spanking. You know they are attracted, and she is spoiled, but sensible enough to admit that she deserved it and loved him a few days later.

[@larschristiansteenberg1460]

So do I, and I have no problem with the spankings. Stefanie Powers was extremely good as the spoiled daughter, but we know that she loved the young man but was too proud to admit it, and a few days after the spanking they kissed and got engaged. She also wanted a man to be a man and not be afraid to show it.

1:40 Love how he just hands him the coal shovel. “You’re bare hand won’t do son. Use this instead.”

[@mkaplan1383]

Fun fact, the actor playing Dev is The Duke's real life son Patrick Wayne.

[@matthewharry8033]

He returns the favor later in the movie! Lol

I still regularly use "HE SAID IT AGAIN!!!" in conversations.

So, this is what gender equality was like in the Old West?

[@cleansedbyfire9223]

Why would it surprise you? 😂 I mean at least women (depending) were put in their place in one way or another. I believe honor and respect BOTH goes BOTH ways between man and woman. I will also say that the “other genders” really are illegitimate and should be disregarded as such. Change my mind.

Much better than now.

I would take this any day of the week and twice on t Tuesday vs the no moral trash and weak AF men that we have now

[@Disneyfan82]

People calling this perverted and encouraging violence are so melodramatic and don't know what real violence is.

[@shannonroylance5480]

hahaha! did you see Mr. McLintock's face when she called him intoxicated!!! funny. love John Wayne!!!!

[@orangefox1231]

She tried to have him shot! I’d wanna get her back too! Lol

OML, If I lived in that time oh man,

[@larschristiansteenberg1460]

What do you mean? Would you like to live in that time and risk an occasional spanking, or would you like to fight against the men who did it?

My Favorite Scene is When Took That Shotgun Away From That Homesteader Trying to Lynne a Old Native American.

The hell I won't...

[@talkativetomteriffic5032]

this is back in simple times when if a woman needed a spanking young or old they got one if they earned it and becky In this scene earned hers job well done

[@shannonroylance5480]

me and my family's favorite John Wayne movie. this is one of the best parts in the movie. and did any one else notice she said Becky Instead of Rebecca... :).

[@larschristiansteenberg1460]

OK, I agree that is is great fun, and next time we see them together they are engaged, so it was a way to let her know he cared about her, and she got the message. Young love will find a way, and her father learns from it and uses the same method with his wife . and with the same result.

Ahhh...Stephanie Powers....gorgeous!

[@jjaa6157]

Mrs. H.

[@larschristiansteenberg1460]

I agree - she is very good at playing outraged when he spanks her, but also very good when she later admits that she loves him.

A spanking. I think there was a great set a sparks between Dev and Becky.

[@mkaplan1383]

Interesting girl, I'd say she rather enjoyed that... 😏

[@larschristiansteenberg1460]

@@mkaplan1383 There were sparks, indeed. She certainly did not enjoy the spanking, though. But they got engaged a few days later, probably because she came to see that she deserved the spanking and that she liked him to be man enough to do it to her.

[@The1Shadowknows]

Remember this film was made quite a few years ago, it was a different time. Besides that "McLintock!" was a very loose adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew, which is actually a whole lot more perverted (and McLintock! is funnier).

[@midnightchow9036]

2:13 🤣

[@Abletoroll]

It was meant to be funny at the end....not perverted. And it was an earlier time no one expects you to be able to find it funny, but the people of the time did. Really, the situation was so ridiculous it was meant to be absurd which was laughed at.

I don't know your age, but I'd fathom a guess that you don't think Monty Python is perverted, which when viewed by someone from the early 20th century would have been. (The audience for which this movie was made)
