Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
John Wayne hams it up as a one-eyed, broken-down marshal in this 1969 adaptation of Charles Portis's bestselling novel. Kim Darby plays the formal-speaking adolescent who goes to Wayne for help tracking down her father's killer, and singer Glen Campbell straps on his guns to join the quest. Directed by old lion Henry Hathaway (Rawhide), this is largely a showcase for Wayne (who finally won an Oscar), but it is also a decent Western with a particularly stirring final act. --Tom Keogh

- True Grit dvd is fabulous!
True Grit (Special Collector's Edition)This is the movie John Wayne won an Oscar for his performance and well deserved it truely is! Excellent script, excellent directing and most of all, excellent acting. The movie was perfectly cast and all the actors delivered their best. The most beautiful locations added to the movie presentation. They have a featurette on this dvd about the location of the movie---and it is a real town. All I can say is the entire movie is so impressive and I would recommend this dvd as a must have for any film library.

- Angel and the Fat Man
In John Wayne's latter years, he turned in a top-notch performance as the one-eyed whiskey drinkin', weight gaining, rifle twirling Texas Marshal Rooster Cogburn. He was tough as nails and had a heart of gold...that is, if you were a gold-digger. Fortunately, Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) was something of a gold-digger (at least when it came to digging up both the tender and tough sides of the Duke) as well as an all-too-determined young woman bent on the revenge of her father's murder. Rounding up the cast is sidekick La Boeuf (Glen Campbell) and Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper as two outlaws.

If one is not careful, nearly every great western ends up looking the same after a while. And TRUE GRIT at first glance may look like any other western. But it is so much more. It has good acting (John Wayne received a Best Actor Academy Award), witty one-liners and sharp dialogue far superior to most of the action ... Read More
