My oscar video pick of the week is a film called True Grit. It's about a young girl, Mattie (Kim Darby), who wants to avenge her father's death and enlists the help of a one-eyed US marshall, Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne); at his curmudgeonly best. A third person is thrown into the mix, a Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf (Glen Campbell), who thinks Mattie should be barefoot in the house and not out gallavanting with the men. Mattie, however, is a tomboy and not afraid to use a gun and will stop at nothing to find the man who murdered her father. The three of them trudge through Indian territory and it's a race to see who is quicker with the comebacks; Rooster or LaBoeuf. Surprisingly, Glen Campbell holds his own against Wayne and Wayne has some really funny lines. The three characters are all so odd together that half the fun is seeing their interactions with each other. It's not the best Wayne role I've seen; that would be his role in The Shootist. It's not a typical western and it was John Wayne's winning role; his only one.
