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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 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 ... Read More Rating: - Angel and the Fat ManIn 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Good Vehicle For the DukeWhen a film or performance has the imprateur of the Oscar you expect something really special. In that sense I would call "True Grit" a minor disappointment. For sure John Wayne delivers a flamboyant and energetic turn as Rooster Cogburn in a role tailored to his particular strengths. But I couldn't help to think he was so much better in films like "The Searchers", "Red River" and his final film, "The Shootist". I'm reminded of when they finally rewarded Paul Newman after years of solid work it had ... Read More Rating: - CLASSIC WESTERN STARRING THE DUKE!This entertaining western starring the "Duke" in his later years won him an Oscar. A great film made when stars were stars and they could do no wrong. This film is fun, well paced and holds up really well. I have the older collector's edition from 2000 and the print is crystal clear! The DVD has some extras, but I'm sure the newer release has some added goodies. Rating:  - True GritThere was a problem ordering this DVD. I ordered duplicates and had to return one. Then the one I kept had serious flaws, but the vendor sent me a replacement that was in excellent condition so I am quite satisfied Browse for similar items by category:
