The character of Mattie Ross played by Kim Darby is horrendous. Kim looks way too old / too tall to be a teenager, and too old to be wearing a shorter skirt (for the time period). Her hair is too short and the clothes she wears seem so "wrong". It's unbelievable that a female teenager would be so "forward" for the time period. I can't understand why Kim Darby was cast in the role. She ruins the movie. The wardrobe department gets zero stars for how they dressed her.
Glen Campbell better suited to singing than acting. The starting song before the movie also doesn't fit the movie either.
All in all these two characters/actors were so wrong/didn't work. Made the movie a pain to watch.
John Wayne was fine, but in my mind, not worthy of an Oscar for this movie.
