The Honor of a Lifetime
Now personally there are John Wayne performances in terms of acting that I like better than True Grit. Among others Fort Apache, The Searchers, Red River, The Horse Soldiers, to name a few. And certain films like The Commancheros and McLintock and Big Jake I find to be more entertaining.

What True Grit does is succeed on both levels, being both great entertainment and giving John Wayne the acting role of a lifetime in the person of Rooster Cogburn.

Mattie Ross from Darnell and Yell County Arkansas personified by Kim Darby has come to Fort Smith seeking the killer of her father Jeff Corey. Turns out he’s also killed a State Senator in Texas so Texas Ranger Glen Campbell informs her. Both of them team up with United States Marshal Rooster Cogburn who resides in Fort Smith with Chin Lee and my favorite movie cat, General Sterling Price.

Corey is now in the outlaw band headed by Robert Duvall at large in the Indian Nation Territory that became Oklahoma. True Grit’s plot is the trio’s pursuit of Duvall, Corey and the rest of the gang.

But oddly enough True Grit isn’t really about plot. It’s about the creation of a character. Like Margaret Mitchell who wrote Gone With the Wind with Clark Gable in mind for Rhett Butler, Charles Portis wrote the novel True Grit with only John Wayne in mind as Rooster Cogburn. It must have been one singular delight for Charles Portis to see the Duke flesh out Rooster Cogburn exactly as he conceived him.

Tough old Rooster, likes an occasional drink, isn’t above a little larceny, but has one stern moral code about real bad guys. Bring him in dead or alive and make sure you shoot first coming up against them. And he’s got quite the colorful past as he relates tales of his younger days to Campbell and Darby on the trail.

In other reviews I’ve said that John Wayne had one of the great faces for movie closeups. You can see a perfect example of that in that scene with John Fiedler who plays Darby’s lawyer J. Noble Daggett. A man who rates high in the legal profession in that area having forced a railroad into bankruptcy.

The camera is facing Fiedler as he’s talking to Wayne about his visit with Darby who’s life Wayne saved. Wayne’s got about a third of his face to the camera. But even with that third, your eyes are focused on the Duke and his reactions and then as the camera slowly pans around to Wayne in full face his reaction shots are hysterical. You don’t work with scene stealing character actors like Chill Wills, Walter Brennan, and Gabby Hayes for 30 years without learning something.

John Wayne was up against some stiff competition in 1969 for the Best Actor Oscar. It was his second nomination, the first being for Sands of Iwo Jima. He was facing Richard Burton as Henry VIII in Anne of a Thousand Days and a couple of newcomers named Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight for Midnight Cowboy. He was certainly the sentimental favorite.

If in no other place in our lives, sentiment does have its place in cinema. It was an honor well deserved, not just for one performance but for a lifetime of achievement in cinema being the player who put more people into movie seats than any other person ever. So many of the Duke’s contemporaries like Edward G. Robinson, Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power were never even nominated for an Oscar much less win one.

Because the Motion Picture Academy has deemed this John Wayne’s grandest cinematic achievement, it’s almost a command to support this fine western and the man who defined the western hero and is still defining it.

Darby Makes This Wayne Western Special
John Wayne and Kim Darby make this simple story a fun two hours of entertainment. It probably was another case of Hollywood giving away Academy Awards (Wayne for best actor) for longevity in the business, if nothing else, because Wayne is fine but nothing exceptional here. This is the same role he played in Big Jake, The Searchers and a number of other films.

But, he’s fun to watch and listen to, as usual. The difference between this western and Wayne’s others was Kim Darby, a fresh-faced strong-willed young woman who gives the story its unique angle. Even though Wayne is given the responsibility and chasing down the bad guys, it’s really Darby doing it as young woman seeking the killer of her father.

Darby doesn’t come off, though, as some hardened woman. She’s too cute for that, but she’s feisty, doesn’t take no for an answer and this role came along right at the beginnings of the feminist movement so it made her a popular figure at that time. Too bad she, or Hollywood, didn’t capitalize more on her looks and talent. I don’t know why she never made it as a film star because she certainly had the appeal in this movie.

Anyway Wayne played what he played best: a crotchety-but-likable old man who delivered a lot of interesting lines. He’s always tough on the outside but with a soft spot deep inside.

The oddball in here was singer Glen Campbell, playing a Texas Ranger and being the third person in the killer-hunting trio. He wasn’t bad, but not being a professional actor, he wasn’t totally convincing, either. I don’t really understand that choice of putting him in this role.

Check out the actors who have minor roles in here: Jeremy Slate, Strother Martin, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper and more. Wow!

One other question I had. How can this be rated “G?” I thought that meant nothing offensive was in the film, yet Wayne uses a number of damns, several “bast–ds,” and one memorable “son of a bit-h!” And it’s rated “G?” Huh? Anyway, it’s a very entertaining western that I always enjoy watching. As in most westerns, you’ll see some great scenery too which makes having this in widescreen DVD a good choice.
