1970: John Wayne and "True grit"




John Wayne played US Marshall Rooster Cogburn helping a cute teenage girl (Kim Darby) look for the man who killed her father.    


The cast is rather interesting:  Country singer Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper.     This is Duvall a couple of years before he played Tom Hagen in "The Godfather".

Wayne won his only Academy for this movie.
