McLaglen directed westerns (many with John Wayne and James Stewart) and action films including McClintock!, Chisum, Bandolero, The Wild Geese, Shenandoah, The Undefeated, The Sea Wolves and many others.
He also directed several classic western television shows including Rawhide (which starred Clint Eastwood), Wagon Train, The Virginian, Gunsmoke and Have Gun-Will Travel.
Breitbart.com's John Nolte wrote:
McLaglen is probably best remembered for his many collaborations with Wayne: "Hellfighters" (1968), "The Undefeated" (1969), "Chisum" (1970), and "Cahill U.S. Marshal" (1973) were all successful, are still beloved by Wayne's millions of fans, and kept The Duke at the top of the box office well into his Social Security years.
