John Wayne earned the 1969 "Best Actor" Academy Award® for this larger-than-life performance as the drunken, uncouth and totally fearless one-eyes 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 Texas Ranger (Glen Campbell) joins the party. Laughter and tears punctuate the wild action in this extraordinary Western which also features performances by Robert Duvall, Jeremy Slate and Strother Martin.

". . . only for those with True Grit. And we are chock full of that." - 3.5 out of 5 (6/4/2007)
True Grit marks the emergence of one of John Wayne's most remembered and iconic characters, the one-eyed U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn. Wayne's performance in True Grit won him the only Oscar of his career, which was well deserved. From a distance, it would seem like a sympathy vote from the Academy to grant him the award for a movie like True Grit. Being towards the end of his career, this Oscar represents more of John Wayne's entire career of building characters with th
