Thanks for providing us with the link, B00m. I have followed it and taken the video file from the page (YouTube makes this extremely difficult but for now it is still possible), and if I can find 10 minutes, I'll edit it down just to the spanking scene and provide it to everyone here in an easy-to-download format so you can enjoy it at home anytime!hugob00m wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 2:51 pmFor anyone who hasn't seen the preview Butch is talking about, I have a link:butch46163@yahoo.com wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 6:18 pm for all of us Mclintock fans Greatest spanking scene in movie history due to the super exciting build up before the spanking! there a short preview of that movie hostess by Mrs. Maureen O` Hara on Youtube !it runs under 5 minutes and there is a really great unedited version of her spanking by John Wayne that is worth the watch it`s in Black and white! Listen I watched it plenty of time and believe me this version should have been in the movie!! don`t get me wrong the film version was great but this one is Super exciting ! because there no loud music or that Gong sound !! also there not much dialog only Mrs. O`Hara screaming to get even with one of the guys as the Duke soundly paddle her rear over his knee! being there no loud music you can hear the smacking sounds as the coal shovel is hitting her bottom! if you haven't seen this it a must watch

Apparently this prevew was put together shortly before the release of McLintock! and shown on television. The same raw footage that was shot for the movie was used, but edited slightly differently. Fans of Maureen O'Hara who loved seeing her get spanked should see this preview.

By the way, I wonder why the footage was in black & white? Was this a dress rehearsal of some kind, or a camera test? Or was the color footage shown on a black & white TV screen (but it really doesn't look like a kinescope, and I have seen them). The only case I know of where both black & white and color footage was used was in the first Star Trek pilot, "The Cage". (Oops! How could I forget The Wizard of Oz? But of course that was different).
I remember about thirty years ago Gene Roddenberry explained that the only surviving color footage was what we saw in the episode "The Menagerie" (did someone throw the rest away in 1966?) which is why they had to fill in the gaps with the b & w footage when they put "The Cage" together for release on video. Presumably, the network had asked for both color and B & W so they could decide which to use if they bought the series, which of course they didn't at that time. (I'm assuming everyone knows that part of the Star Trek story so I won't bother repeating it here).
