Love in the Country

I cannot guarantee the media quality, as there are too many bad and mediocre versions floating around out there. I reserve the star system for the movie, as this review may be used for different media. This movie is loosely based on "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Skakespere. You will immediately notice this now that you know. George Washington McLintock (John Wayne) is one of the founding ranchers in the territory. He has many issues to deal with in a John Wayne fashion. These include dealing with new homesteaders, dealing with displaced Indians, and dealing with his estranged family (Maureen O'Hara and Stephanie Powers) returning for the Fourth of July celebration. The movie itself is top-notch. John Wayne used most of his standard crew (They can be seen in other John Wayne movies) and that formula plot that makes his movies great. The mud fight is one of the best parts. See John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara again in “The Quiet Man” (1952).
