McLintock was directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and written by James Edward Grant. It was released on November 13, 1963 by Batjac Productions and runs for 127 minutes. John Wayne plays George Washington McLintock, Maureen O’Hara plays Katherine Gilhooley McLintock, Patrick Wayne plays Devlin Warren, Stefanie Powers plays Becky McLintock, Jack Kruschen plays Jake Birnbaum, Chill Wills plays Drago, and Yvonne De Carlo plays Mrs. Louise Warren. The "mudhole" in which the famous brawl took place wasn't actually made of mud. It was made of a material called bentonite, which is used in the drilling of oil wells and has the consistency of chocolate syrup. According to actor Leo Gordon (the first one to be knocked down it), that scene took a week to shoot. Promotional events were postponed for a week following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. John Wayne insisted that the role of the weak, insipid Governor be called "Cuthbert H. Humphrey", with the intention that he be seen as a parody of liberal Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, whom Wayne intensely disliked. The inspiration for this raucous John Wayne comedy was none other than William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew", which producer Michael Wayne and director Andrew V. McLaglen thought would have even more of a comedic kick if it were set in the Old West.
