True Grit (1969): John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn


     Directed by Henry Hathaway, True Grit (1969) is a true Classic in the Western genre, and contains John Wayne's only Oscar-winning performance (as "Rooster" Cogburn). The story concerns a young girl who accompanies a US Marshall and a Texas Ranger into Indian Territory to pursue her father's murderer. Full of great action and snappy dialogue, the film is a "must see." The whole cast is great including John Wayne, Glen Campbell, Dennis Hopper, Robert Duvall and Kim Darby. The film was remade by the Coen Brothers in 2010.
