Additional InformationA pure Western in which a lawman tracks a criminal, TRUE GRIT, based on Charles Portis's novel, reunited John Wayne with director Henry Hathaway (THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER). Wayne is crotchety U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, who would rather stay home than chase criminals. He heeds the call, though, when 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) calls on him to avenge her father's death at the hands of a man who has escaped into Indian territory. Glen Campbell is a Texas ranger who accompanies them for his own reasons. Wayne reprised the role six years later in ROOSTER COGBURN.
AwardsBest Actor In A Leading Role 1970 - John Wayne
I've seen this movie many many times years ago and it never fail to entertain... i had it on video in Australia but now watching it again on DVD..it is a "wow"..much clearer and the color is much more viviid. Of course, for under 2 pounds..it is good value for money.
