“True Grit” – starring John Wayne and directed by Henry Hathaway. A young girl (Kim Darby) hires an aging US Marshal , Reuben “Rooster” Cogburn (John Wayne) to bring in the murderer of her father, Tom Chaney (Jeff Corey), because she has heard that Cogburn has “true grit”. Assisted by a young Texas Ranger, Le Boeuf, (Glen Campbell), who is also seeking Chaney, the three set out on the trail together. Wayne was awarded Best Actor for his portrayal of Cogburn, despite his misgivings, because the part was outside his comfort zone. This was the only Oscar Wayne was awarded for a performance.”
