There 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 July 5, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteClassic John Wayne WesternQuote
If you even remotely like Westerns. This is a classic which you will love. John Wayne is at his best capturing bad guys and shooting Lucky Ned Pepper (Robert Duval). June 10, 2008

True Grit DVD

True Grit is probably my favorite John Wayne western, maybe The Shootist is a close second. It stars John Wayne as an old, rough and coarse U. S. Marshall who reluctantly helps a teenager (Kim Darby) who both won academy Awards for their roles in the movie. The Marshall helps track down the killer of Darcy's Father into Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma). The movie is based on the novel True Grit.

Glen Campbell sings and plays a Texas Ranger who tags along.

Highly recommended for fans of John Wayne, Classic Western movies, and Cowboy movies the way they used to be made.

I just caught this on TCM. I had planned to watch for just a few minutes but I was hooked by the photography, the characters and the story. I am immediately adding this to my collection. Back in 1970, when John Wayne got the Academy Award over Dustin Hoffman, I thought an injustice had been done. I was wrong. The Oscar is awarded for accomplishment. Sometimes it's purely for acting but sometimes other elements are taken into consideration. The Academy made the right call. The history of American film would be different story if it weren't for John Wayne. You only have to watch this film to see why he is one of the greatest screen stars of all time. John Wayne is a genre all by himself. April 1, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteThe Best of His Later Films Quote
This was one of John Wayne's best films, certainly the best of his later works. I've made people angry in the past by stating that the late Mr. Wayne was playing roles that were WAY TOO YOUNG for him and that I didn't care for them. That's not the case with this work, my only real criticism is that the movie feels abbreviated. March 22, 2008
