Strange Movie Quotes

When I was a kid, I loved movies (I rarely watch them now). I loved spaghetti westerns and serial mysteries and nature movies and the oldies . . .

Anything John Wayne, anything Katherine Hepburn, anything with cowboys and indians. You get the picture.

Well, out of the blue today I started thinking of a song in some movie I saw long ago. I think it was about a mountain man (a drunk mountain man). He sang a song that i found myself singing today. I need help identifiying the movie:

The drunk mountain man/loner sang "I killed a bear, not over here, over thar!" In a good lilting slur. Anybody know this movie? Can anyone help me?

Bah! I am going to go home and watch John Wayne spank Maureen O'Hara in McClintock one of my favorite John Wayne movies, if only for the scene where they all fight in the mud. Oh and lest anyone think I don't know my John Wayne, my second favorite John Wayne movie? Donovan's Reef *hangs head in shame.*

LOVE John Wayne movies! McClintock! is number two for me after The Quiet Man. Love Donovan's Reef, as well. Of course! :)

LOVE Kate Hepburn. My favorite was The Philadelphia Story. A delight, from start to finish.

I am sure it is the spanking scene...I am sure. I have seen you at enough comment parties to know, it is the spanking scene....

Sorry, can't help with the drunk mountain man. I'll ask around next time I'm in the mountains, drunk (shouldn't be long).

And The Quiet Man, Pam? I didn't think anyone else knew that was a John Wayne movie! Loved it!
