Description

In 1970, John Wayne earned an Academy Award for his larger-than-life performance as the drunken, uncouth and totally fearless one-eyed U.S. Marshall, Rooster Cogburn. The cantankerous Rooster is hired by a headstrong young girl (Kim Darby) to find the man who murdered her father and fled with the family savings. When Cogburn's employer insists on accompanying the old gunfighter, sparks fly. And the situation goes from troubled to disastrous when the inexperienced Texas Ranger (Glen Campbell) joins the party. Laughter and tears punctuate the wild action in this extraordinary Western which features performances by Robert Duvall and Strother Martin.

    I am a John Wayne fan. My father would kill me if I didn't say that. This is my absolute favorite of his movies. Chism is great and who shot liberty valence is too...but his one is the best. Story is awesome. Wayne is tough but also has a spot in his heart for the girl. This is a must see for those who even think they like John Wayne.

    I picked one star because I have not seen this movie and I am not a fan of John Wayne. I wanted to let you all know that my being a Huge Carpenters' fan that Karen Carpenter did read for the part of Mattie Ross. Wayne just loved her and her voice so much that he wanted her for that role. Well she did a screen test and lost out to Darby. What a shame, it would be interesting how True Grit would have turned out if she won the role. Again I am not knocking this movie by one star it is just I have not seen it yet. The Carpenters' TV specials I have seen, I think Carpenter had a natural talent for acting believe it or not. Just thought I would share this trivia with you True Grit fans out there. Take care…...

    All of the Duke's films are fantastic. Some reviewers say it is miscast or not filmed well, but they are judging the film by 2012 standards. In 1969 it took several years to film and edit. By tbe standards of 1969, it was one of the best films made. It is on my "favorite" list , along with "Old Yeller" and " Call of the wild". My family loves all of John Waynes movies. We dont have to rent them , our library is full.
