True Grit (1969)

Fill your hands, you son of a b*tch.
John Wayne won his Oscar for playing a drunken Marshall in this film with Kim Darby and Glen Campbell.
What really characterizes the movie for me is the dialog. Kim Darby, who went on to play some 60 more roles, none of which I have seen, was considered a promising newcomer for this film. Marguerite Roberts, in one of her last writing assignments, really wrote some excellent words for Darby. It made the movie really enjoyable and immensely funny.
Another newcomer in the film, Delight, Arkansas' own (Rhinestone Cowboy, Wichita Lineman) Glen Campbell also put in a good performance as a Texas ranger helping Wayne catch a double murderer - triple, if you count the dog.
True Grit also starred Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, and one of the most fascinating men in Hollywood, Jeff Corey.

| Wayne really deserved an Oscar for The Shootist. He's much better in that. |
