A great big nod to Paramount for giving us The Duke’s Academy Award winning role as “Rooster Cogburn” on this superb DVD. This fabulous Wayne western from 1969 looks immaculate. Presented in widescreen, the picture is clear and sharp, and all the beautiful scenery in Technicolor is glorious.The sound in DD2.0(MONO) was surpisngly good as well.(Could be great in surround though).If you love this film, John Wayne or a great western, grab this one up!
The story for those that may have missed it, is very adventurous as well as highly amsuing. Rooster Cogburn is a take no prisoners U.S. Marshall. That’s not all he is though…he’s an old, overweight,brash drunkard. But he’s got ‘grit’. And that is exactly what young Maddie Ross is looking for when she hires him to go after the man who killed her father.Maddie(Kim Darby), now affectionatly called “Baby Sister” by our guy, is also a take no prisoner’s kind of gal..but not exactly in the same way as Cogburn is. Maddie is a proper young lady, who’s family “has property”, and brandishes her lawyer as her weapon of choice. And what’s more..she’s going along on the hunt for this bad guy who has joined up with a group of some really bad hombres. Also in on the ride is an inexperienced but gung-ho Texas Ranger(Glen Campbell)who Maddie is immediatly at odds with.The sparks fly as this trio hits the trail.

John Wayne IS Rooster Cogburn.Rooster Cogburn IS John Wayne. The Duke delivers the lines as only he could.There’s a great scene, where a drunken Cogburn falls off his horse, flat on his face, but yet doesn’t spill a drop of the open whiskey bottle he holds.Later on you’ll thrill to seeing him riding in, guns blazing in each hand as he goes after the bad guys.It’s pure Wayne! The bad guys by the way are legends in themselves, Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper among them. Strother Martin also adds to the fun going toe to toe with Maddie on a horse deal. Elmer Bernstein provides the glorious music, and Campbell sings the title song. Directed by the great Henry Hathaway, it’s a film filled with immense talent.
It’s fun and adventurous and is rated G, but there are some scenes that may be a bit too violent for younger viewers.
The DVD also includes English Subtitles for hearing impaired viewers. There are no special features, but for me, seeing this film restored so beautifully, having The Duke looking so great on my screen was bonus enough.
Saddle up with “The Big Fella”…and enjoy…Laurie
also recommended for your john wayne collection some oldies but goodies:Shadow of the Eagle, His Private Secretary, and Great American Western V.24, The
True Grit DVD
True Grit is probably my favorite John Wayne western, maybe The Shootist is a close second. It stars John Wayne as an old, rough and coarse U. S. Marshall who reluctantly helps a teenager (Kim Darby) who both won academy Awards for their roles in the movie. The Marshall helps track down the killer of Darcy’s Father into Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma). The movie is based on the novel True Grit.
Glen Campbell sings and plays a Texas Ranger who tags along.
Highly recommended for fans of John Wayne, Classic Western movies, and Cowboy movies the way they used to be made.
