Maureen O'Hara's annotated screenplay of McClintock!
United Artists, 1963. Mimeographed manuscript, screenplay by James Edward Grant, September 17, 1962, 127 pp, housed in plain red wrappers bound in black leather, annotated in pen and pencil in O'Hara's hand, "Maureen O'Hara / Part of: Katherine" in ink to front wrapper; pencil drawings of corsets and other costume details to front matter; phone numbers and notes written to recto and verso of title page and to front matter; several drawings of corsets and other vintage costumes to versos of last pages; notes to front and back wrappers; with 4 pp Staff and Crew list; many pages folded over (likely to indicate completed scenes); with a folded-over cast and crew contact list bound in; and 9 pp of correspondence from 1962-1963 related mainly to the film, including a carbon copy of producer Michael Wayne's letter on Batjac Productions stationery to O'Hara's agent offering her the role.
Director Andrew V. McLaglen's rowdy western hit McClintock! marked Maureen O'Hara's penultimate film collaboration with John Wayne. In this take on "The Taming of the Shrew," O'Hara portrayed McClintock's estranged wife who is reunited with him in typical fiery Wayne-O'Hara style. O'Hara's drawings in the script include several of her iconic corset from the film. The correspondence in this lot includes a letter from producer Michael Wayne (John's son) from February, 1963, relating that the McClintock! television trailer looked "far above our fondest hopes" and that he predicted it would be a huge hit based on a cut version of the film's first three reels. It became the eleventh highest-grossing film of 1963 and stabilized Wayne's financially-troubled Batjac Productions.
