In interviews with Christopher Frayling McLaglen rejected criticisms that he was no more than a journeyman director. He pointed out that he had kept the traditional Western alive, that he had revived the late careers of James Stewart and John Wayne and that he had reversed the previous stereotype of Native Americans. He liked Frayling's likening him to a figurative painter when everybody else had gone abstract.
He was born in London but grew up around Hollywood, where his father often took him on movie sets. He learned the art of directing from greats like John Ford, who eventually gave him a job as assistant director on The Quiet Man (1952).
