    I love, love, love John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. They were incredible individually, but together, they were perfection! They spanned a couple of decades working together and even during the later part of their careers, even during Big Jake, their chemistry was just as electric as it was in Rio Grande.

    Her bloomers were already very short for the time period that movie was supposed to portray. Back in the day women often wore bloomers that came down to the middle of the shin or just below the knees. In that scene, her bloomers were already shockingly short for the time period, although some women did wear such bloomers.
    They were quite loose and fairly baggy. Most didn't even have a crotch in them. This was because women wore so many layers of skirts, it would be a real hassle to pull ones bloomers down to use the bathroom. So, they hiked up their skirts instead and just sat down in the outhouse and the bloomers would move out of the way as one sat.
    Wearing a corset and all those layers of clothes esp in summer? No thanks! It's no wonder women fainted a lot back then. They couldn't breathe right from the corsets and suffered heat exhaustion due to their layers of clothes. Most women wore no less than 3 layers of clothing all the time.
    Speaking as a woman myself, no thanks! I'm glad those days are gone!

    Maureen O'Hara is such a class act. I'm glad shefinally got her much-deserved Lifetime Achievement Oscar at the Oscars this pastyear, even though the rat bastards cut her acceptancespeech off. Rude SOBs!

    Stephanie Powers should do some type a audio book. Her voice has a relaxing satin like quality. One could just listen and actually be interested in the topic. Wow!

    I am female and the ignorant below statement deserves the title "ignorant'. This was a great film and the "spanking" that ignorant people call abuse was not even intended to be portrayed as anything but silliness. My God she had a corset on 3 layers of dress…how in the H do you abuse someone that way. DA. Anyway I loved the chemistry she and Wayne had on screen..the best film Wayne ever made and Ms . Ohara was the Quiet Man..Oh yes its involved a spanking briefly..abuse…what a joke. Some people need to GROW the Hell UP!! Those were fun films…..and no F words or sex scenes but never mind that. Miss great film making….great time it did exist and we still have it on celluloid. Not much today people will luv to watch 50 years later. Also lets forget the wonderful Yvonne De Carlo in this film either…
