Maureen O’Hara: Malaga Promotional Photo

January 15, 2021 By Joi Leave a Comment

Maureen O'Hara, Malaga

Maureen O’Hara, Malaga Promotional Photo

Malaga (1954) isn’t one of Maureen O’Hara’s better-known films but it is a darn good one (at least I think so).

Malaga was directed by Richard Sale and starred Maureen O’Hara, Macdonald Carey, and Binnie Barnes (I always love seeing her show up in movies and always wish she were in more scenes).

If you ever see Malaga on dvd, buy it without asking any questions! I cannot find it anywhere for my Maureen O’Hara collection and, trust me, I am always looking.

If you find it on television (again, almost impossible), be sure to check it out. Not sure you’ll get another chance!

John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, Rio Grande

John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, Rio Grande

I’m feeling kind of lazy today – as I usually do the day after a big holiday. Not only is fixing all the food exhausting, eating that much zaps your energy too, doesn’t it?!

I do have the gumption to post a couple of pictures of the day, however and… you know me… odds are it’s going to be pictures from a western and most likely one with Maureen O’Hara or John Wayne… or, better yet, both!

Rio Grande is a wonderful Western and one of my favorite these two favorite stars made together. If you’ve never seen Rio Grande, I highly recommend it. You can watch Rio Grande on Prime Video or buy the dvd on Amazon (Rio Grande, links to the dvd, but blu-ray is also available)

Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne in the Perfection Known as The Quiet Man

November 16, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, The Quiet Man

John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara… Perfection!

I’ll just go ahead and say it… people who say there’s no such thing as perfection have never seen The Quiet Man (1952, directed by the wonderful John Ford). If they HAD, they would say, “Outside of The Quiet Man, there’s no such thing as perfection.”

The movie is perfect, the cast is perfect, the director was perfect, the scenery is perfect (what a breathtaking beauty Ireland is), the sets are perfect, the script is perfect, the dialogue is perfect… if it’s aired on television, the commercials are perfect…

Okay, so I got a bit carried away.

If you’ve never seen The Quiet Man – or if it’s been a while since you last saw it – I hope you’ll pop some popcorn, grab a tall glass of raspberry tea (or drink of your choice) and escape with Mary Kate, Sean Thornton, Michaleen Oge Flynn, and Father Peter Lonergan to one of the most serene settings and colorful cast of characters you’re ever going to find.

You can buy The Quiet Man on dvd (link to Amazon) or watch on Prime Video…. or, you could always do like me and do both. Both is good.

Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, and Natalie Wood in the Wonderful Classic, Miracle on 34th Street

November 3, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, and Natalie Wood in Miracle on 34th Street

Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, and Natalie Wood in Miracle on 34th Street

Halloween has come and gone, so my heart and eyes are fully on Thanksgiving and Christmas! Actually, I’ll let you in on a little secret… my eyes and heart are on them year-round. I experiment with recipes I’ll use at Thanksgiving and Christmas throughout the year and buy gifts and decorations 12 months a year and keep them safely hidden in totes until it’s time to wrap them.

When you have a large family, it might just be the only way from having a mental breakdown when December 1st rolls around!

Since I can finally own up to my all-consuming love of Christmas now, without looking like a complete fruitcake, I decided to go with a scene from one of my absolute favorite movies ever – Miracle on 34th Street. I’ll soon be in my den… visiting Susan, Fred, Doris, and of course Kris Kringle for the first time in 2020.

For as long as I can remember, I kick off the “official” Christmas season with this film, followed by It’s a Wonderful Life and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I’m so anal about it all that I also “end” the official season with the same three.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do know that I’m as mad as a hatter… but I see no reason to change at this stage of the game!

You can find the wonderful, black and white 1947 Miracle on 34th Street (link to the dvd on Amazon) on Amazon for less than $10. Much easier than waiting for it to show up on television.

Maureen O’Hara, Comanche Territory (1950)

October 18, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Comanche Territory Lobby CardComanche Territory Lobby Card

Given that I am, undoubtedly, the biggest Maureen O’Hara fan in the world, it will come as no surprise to you that I’ve even seen her less-known films, including Comanche Territory (1950, directed by George Sherman).

The funny thing is, some of her lesser-known films are some of my favorites! Don’t get me wrong, nothing beats The Quiet Man, McLintock!, Rio Grande, The Parent Trap, Spencer’s Mountain, Sinbad the Sailor or the legendary Miracle on 34th Street, but the beautiful actress had a LOT more wonderful films than most realize.

In addition to these well-known outstanding films, a few of my other favorites are:

  • A Woman’s Face
  • Kangaroo
  • The Red Head from Wyoming (trust me on this one, it’s good!)
  • The Spanish Main (possibly my favorite of her swashbucklers)
  • Buffalo Bill
  • The Fallen Sparrow
  • Dance, Girl, Dance
  • The Black Swan

Comanche Territory is simply a great, old-fashioned, fun, and deliciously entertaining Western. She didn’t have the same kind of chemistry with her leading man in this one (Macdonald Carey) as she had with other actors (Melvyn Douglas, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Brian Keith… and an actor you may have heard of before… John Wayne!). The movie is more than worth watching.

You can find Comanche Territory (affiliate link to the dvd) on Amazon. I don’t think it’s available on Prime Video yet.

Maureen O’Hara, John Wayne, and Yvonne De Carlo: McLintock!

August 31, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne, and Yvonne De Carlo in McLintock!

Maureen O’Hara, John Wayne, and Yvonne De Carlo in McLintock!

One of my favorite Westerns is McLintock! (1963). Talk about an outstanding cast: John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Yvonne De Carlo, Stefanie Powers, Patrick Wayne, Chill Wills, Jerry Van Dyke, Jack Kruschen, Strother Martin, Edgar Buchanan, Bruce Cabot… The director, Andrew V. McLaglen, was an all star, himself!

Like most Westerns (and films, for that matter), McLintock! doesn’t need to be taken overly seriously – unfortunately may people choose to do so anyway.

I’ll let you in on a little secret – it doesn’t make me enjoy it any less!

It’s just a fun, outrageously colorful and light-hearted Western that may possibly get better each time I see it.

Buy McLintock! (link to the dvd on Amazon) on Amazon or watch on Prime.

The Black Swan, Starring Maureen O’Hara, Tyrone Power, and George Sanders

The Black Swan Lobby Card: George Sanders, Maureen O'Hara, and Tyrone Power

George Sanders, Maureen O’Hara, and Tyrone Power in The Black Swan

The Black Swan (19420 was directed by Henry King and starred Tyrone Power, Maureen O’Hara, George Sanders, Thomas Mitchell, Laird Cregar, Anthony Quinn, and George Zucco.

What a cast!

Three of the cast-members in The Black Swan were Supporting Actor Oscar winners during their careers:
  • Thomas Mitchell, Stagecoach (1939)
  • George Sanders, All About Eve (1950)
  • Anthony Quinn, Viva Zapata! (1952) AND Lust for Life (1956)

In addition to these three well-deserved acknowledgments of greatness, I could personally list multiple films where the other cast members were deserving of nominations and wins. Suffice to say the cast was an embarrassment of riches!

The Black Swan Movie Poster

To help the WWII war effort, the actors tried hard to keep the number of takes as low as possible, to conserve film. Roughly 30 of the scenes were done in one take. That is pretty mind-boggling when you think about it -even with such an outstanding cast.

If you’ve never seen this wonderfully colorful and fun film, I hope you’ll check it out soon. Great distraction from the world around us which seems to have jumped the shark.

Gearing Up for Maureen O’Hara Day on TCM’s Summer Under the Stars!

August 14, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Maureen O'Hara and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Sinbad the Sailor Lobby Card

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr and Maureen O’Hara, Sinbad the Sailor

August 17 is Maureen O’Hara’s date of birth, meaning it’s kind of a holiday in my little world. I have always LOVED the fact that two of my absolute favorites, Maureen O’Hara and Lucille Ball, share my birth month. Truth be told, it makes me kind of giddy.

I love that TCM is devoting Maureen’s birthday to an entire day for her and her films. I’ve always loved their Summer Under the Stars each summer and I love it even more when my favorites have their own days.

[Continued Below….]

Maureen O'Hara, Jamaica Inn Lobby Card

Maureen O’Hara, Jamaica Inn

Below, in order, are the movies that will be shown (check your local listings for the time):

Jamaica Inn (1939, directed by Alfred Hitchcock). The movie co-stars Charles Laughton. It marked Maureen’s film debut. She was so incredibly young in this film… with the face of an Irish angel.

A Woman’s Secret (1949, directed by Nicholas Ray). I love this film noir, mystery so much. It co-stars one of my favorite actors, Melvyn Douglas and another of my favorite actresses, Gloria Grahame. Rounding out the cast and doing it in scene-stealing fashion are Mary Philips and J.C. Flippen. Neither could possibly be any funner to watch than they are in this one.

The Fallen Sparrow (1943, directed by Richard Wallace). I’m so glad TCM is showing this VERY rarely shown drama… it’s a good one! Maureen’s co-stars are John Garfield, Walter Slezak, Patricia Morison, and Martha O’Driscoll. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to catch this one – it isn’t shown on television often.

The Rare Breed (1966, directed by Victor McLaglen). The Westerns Maureen made with John Wayne get all of the attention, but she made other outstanding Westerns without the Duke. The Rare Breed stars one of my favorite actors, James Stewart. Although he and Maureen lead the cast, the movie is all but stolen by Brian Keith (in a particularly entertaining role!) and Juliet Mills. They’re all wonderful in their roles, but Brian Keith and Juliet Mills are honestly why this movie works. They bring charm and humor and its palpable.

At Sword’s Point (1952, directed by Lewis Allen) This one’s a very underrated movie.  Maureen Plays the daughter of Athos (of Three Musketeers fame) in this Technicolor swashbuckler. Co-stars include Cornel Wilde, Robert Douglas, Gladys Cooper, and Alan Hale, Jr.

Sinbad the Sailor (1957, directed by Richard Wallace). I can’t tell you how much I love the fact that TCM is airing these two technicolor beauties back to back. The more swashbuckling the better! Sinbad the Sailor has surprising little actual fighting…. very, very little in fact. However, the charisma of Douglas Fairbanks Jr, the beauty and sass of Maureen O’Hara, and the great humor of Walter Slezak make it an entertaining film in spite of little actual swashbuckling.

The Wings of Eagles (1957, directed by John Ford) With everything they meant to her, personally, and to her career, I am so very, very thankful that TCM is airing one of her films with John Ford and John Wayne. When I first saw the lineup, I was disappointed that The Quiet Man (one of the greatest films of all time) wasn’t included – but then I realized, it’s shown frequently on television. Her day is a special time to show movies that are harder to catch. This outstanding movie is a great one to represent the trio. The biographical drama also stars Ward Bond, Dan Dailey, and Ken Curtis (Festus from Gunsmoke!)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939, directed by William Dieterle) Maureen O’Hara and the wonderful Charles Laughton are teamed again for this masterpiece. If you are an avid old movie fan, you have probably seen this one before. I encourage you to watch it again – if only to marvel at the talent of Charles Laughton. The man was phenomenal and his performance in this film leaves me speechless.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947, directed by George Seaton, who was also one of the writers) I was pleasantly surprised that this one made the lineup! I love the thought of people who have never seen this excellent classic getting a chance to watch it. It is movie magic, plain and simple. The film co-stars John Payne, Natalie Wood, Edmund Gwenn, William Frawley, and Gene Lockhart.

This Land is Mine (1943, directed by Jean Renoir) Yet again Charles Laughton and Maureen O’Hara team up in a wonderful drama and, truth be told, he is every bit as mesmerizing in this role as in his  role as Quasimodo. The movie also stars George Sanders and Walter Slezak (he made quite a few movies with Maureen!).

Sitting Pretty (1948, directed by Walter Lang). This light, fun comedy co-stars Robert Young (who is always excellent in everything), Clifton Webb, Richard Haydn, and Louise Allbritton.

Spencer’s Mountain (1963, directed by Delmer Daves) Maureen O’Hara has starred with my absolute favorite actors – James Stewart, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr – and here she’s teamed with yet another one… the wonderful Henry Fonda. They’re perfect together in this outstanding movie. The film also stars James MacArthur and Virginia Gregg.

Jamaica Inn Lobby Cards: Charles Laughton and Maureen O’Hara

August 13, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Jamaica Inn Lobby Card, Maureen O'Hara and Charles Laughton

Maureen O’Hara and Charles Laughton, Jamaica Inn

Maureen O’Hara’s only Alfred Hitchcock film was also her first “official” movie, Jamaica Inn (1939).  When Charles Laughton was signed for the role, he insisted that his protege, Maureen O’Hara be cast in the role of Mary. As possibly the biggest Maureen O’Hara fan of all time (I will make concessions for her family members, of course), I owe such a debt of gratitude to Charles Laughton. He saw the special talent, charisma, and potential in the (very) young and (very) inexperienced actress.

His influence on her cannot be stressed strongly enough. He mentored her and took her under his wing – any suggestion that there was anything more is complete and utter garbage. Unable to have children, Laughton even commented once that he wished he could adopt young Maureen. There was nothing unseemly about their friendship in the least.

This was Alfred Hitchcock’s last film in England before he took Hollywood by storm. Unfortunately, even though the film was a box office success, Hitchcock was not completely satisfied or happy with it. From all indications, he and Charles Laughton didn’t work too well together. Both had such strong opinions and had their own way of working. Surprisingly, however, the two worked together again in the 1947 film The Paradine Case.

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, McLintockJohn Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, McLintock

I love A LOT of old movies… so many that I almost laugh when someone asks me what my favorite movie is. FAR too many to name… but there is and will always be a special corner of my heart reserved for Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne movies. The Quiet Man, McLintock!, Rio Grande… love them all and love them dearly.

McLintock! (1963) was sublimely directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and starred the Duke, Maureen, Patrick Wayne, Stefanie Powers, Jack Kruschen, Chill Wills, Yvonne DeCarlo, Jerry Van Dyke (love him in this role!), and a host of other colorful stars creating colorful characters. Like its stars, the movie is deliciously larger than life and more fun than it has a right to be.

If you’ve never seen it, or haven’t seen it in a while, I hope you’ll watch it soon. It is a romp… a perfect, glorious romp!

You can find McLintock! (Amazon Link) on dvd or watch it on Amazon Prime.
