True Grit Summary In 1970, John Wayne Won 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 An Inexperienced But Enthusiastic 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.

A wonderful/rueful running gag in El Dorado involves the Edgar Allan Poe line "Ride, boldly ride" being mangled by toupee-wearer Wayne into "Ride, baldy, ride." Two years later, in True Grit, Wayne put the joke in italics by donning an eyepatch and several inches of girth to play cantankerous territorial marshal Rooster Cogburn. Critics belatedly noticed that he could be a marvelously entertaining actor, and Hollywood finally gave him the Oscar they'd failed to nominate him for in Red River, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Quiet Man, The Searchers, et al. But make no mistake: True Grit is a splendid movie, with lovingly textured storytelling and sturdy characters, Henry Hathaway's finest high-country action set-pieces, intoxicatingly ornate frontier language, and a couple of formidable bad guys (Jeff Corey's Tom Cheney and Robert Duvall's "Lucky" Ned Pepper). It's a compliment to say that, from a technical standpoint, the movie could have been made any time in Hathaway's 40-year career, yet its feeling for the reality of violence ceded no ground to The Wild Bunch, released around the same time. Still, the film's most sublime passage falls between bursts of gunplay: Rooster sitting on a hilltop at night recounting his life story, as John Wayne metamorphoses ineluctably into W.C. Fields. --Richard T. Jameson
