Additional Information
In fine Hollywood tradition, John Wayne had to play a one-eyed fat man before the Motion Picture Academy considered him worthy of an Oscar. In True Grit, Wayne plays grumpy, pot-bellied U.S. marshal Rooster Cogburn, hired by 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) to find Tom Chaney (Jeff Corey), who killed her father. The headstrong Mattie could have had her pick of lawmen, but selects the aging Cogburn because she believes he has "true grit" (she talks this way all through the picture, so be prepared). Also heading into Indian territory in search of Chaney is Texas Ranger La Boeuf (Glen Campbell), who wants to collect the reward placed on the fugitive's head for his earlier crimes. Complicating matters are Chaney's scurrilous cronies Ned Pepper (Robert Duvall), Quincy (Jeremy Slate), and Moon (Dennis Hopper), who have no qualms about killing a troublesome teenaged girl like Mattie. While the plot of TRUE GRIT, adapted (and streamlined) by Marguerite Roberts from the novel by Charles Portis, maintains audience interest throughout, the glue that truly holds this Western together is John Wayne, delivering one of his finest performances (though some believe he was better in SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON). Wayne's casual charisma is infinitely more effective than the mannered method acting of Kim Darby and the floundering non-acting of poor Glen Campbell. And who could not love the climatic face-off between Duvall and company and John Wayne, whose "Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!" is not only a classic bit of dialogue, but the apotheosis of the Wayne mystique. In 1975, Wayne repeated his TRUE GRIT characterization opposite Katharine Hepburn in ROOSTER COGBURN, but the film failed to match its predecessor and the overall effect was blunted.

  • True Grit

    Big John Wayne won a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as the drunken, one-eyed U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn. As was the case with North to Alaska, True Grit gave Wayne a rare opportunity to add some comedy spice to his acting. This is the story of a headstrong tomboy who hires Rooster to track down her father's killer - and insists on joining him on the dangerous journey. Kim Darby is perfectly cast as the girl and the supporting cast includes the vinegary Western regular Strother Martin.

  • its conveniant and very reasonable way to buy

    Shopping on ebay is brilliant, you can purchase absolutly anything at very competative prices. I`m a big john wayne fan and true grit is my favourite film.

  • Good Cowboy film.

    Recently I watched the newer version of True Grit and was reminded of the John Wayne version I had seen some time ago. I wanted to revisit the John Wayne version so bought the DVD. Needless to say I was not disappointed.

  • dont fill your hands with this you son of a b*tch

    a dated film that doesn't stand the test of time. although having a cult following the experience is not as great as the nostalgia, good decision to remake it as the new version is much grittier. not really an oscar winning performance but mr wayne did deserve recognition for his overall contribution to cinema
