True Grit! (1969)

An undeniably vivid, exceedingly well directed (by veteran Henry Hathaway) frontier tale that "tells it like it was."

The girl with the strength of a man, and the man with a sensitive heart (albeit under layers of crust). The calculated softening of Wayne's macho persona at long last won him the Oscar. [Blu-ray]

Far too often for True Grit to quite overcome, [Wayne's] larger-than-life turn flirts with, if not outright topples into, self-parody.

Classic Western with memorable characters, some gun violence

If I had to pick only one True Grit movie to take to the proverbial desert island, it'd be Hathaway's, Wayne's, Ballard's and, while we're at it, Elmer Bernstein's...

Lazily directed by Hathaway, it's pleasant enough, if rather too self-consciously coy.

Maybe it is not great cinema, but it is great entertainment.

By growing old disgracefully as the fat, swaggering Rooster Cogburn, Wayne proves he can act -- and solves his own senior-citizen problem in one master stroke.

One of the glories of True Grit is that it recognizes Wayne's special presence.
May 20, 2003
A marvelously rambling frontier fable packed with extraordinary incidents, amazing encounters, noble characters, and virtuous rewards.

It's mostly Wayne all the way. He towers over everything in the film.

Somehow it comes off like a TV celebrity roast.
