True Grit (1969)
Over-rated, sub par cowboy flick

This is not a good movie. The screen adaptation is cartoonish and the acting performances laughable. In many people's view, the Oscar John Wayne won for Best Actor was awarded out of sympathy for his long career and box-office successes.
Glenn Campbell as La Boeuf proved he truly could not act and Kim Darby is, as always, forgettable.
I am a fan of John Wayne as an actor. But if you are seeking to watch a good John Wayne movie, this isn't it. Instead try Stagecoach, The Searchers, or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
If you want to watch a movie version of the novel, try the latest release of True Grit with Jeff Bridges. It is a much much superior movie.
