True Grit (11-Jun-1969)

Director: Henry Hathaway

Writer: Marguerite Roberts

From novel: True Grit by Charles Portis

Music: Elmer Bernstein

Producer: Hal B. Wallis

Keywords: Western, Texas

A teenage girl selects U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn to bring the man who killed her father, Tom Chaney, to justice. Cogburn is an unlikely choice: one-eyed, hard-drinking, fat and old; Mattie insists on accompanying him. John Wayne won the Oscar for Best Actor; the film also received a nomination for Best Original Song. Followed by a sequel, Rooster Cogburn (1975). Remade as True Grit (2010).
