I bought several movies at on time and they all were in great condition

John Wayne never looked better. Blu-ray gives new life to old movies.

I'm usually disappointed viewing a film after reading the book - not so here. My best recollection is that the characters followed the book with only minor deviations. I also enjoy Glen Campbell even though his acting here seemed a bit forced/unnatural or maybe that was the way the character was to be portrayed ...? After all, he always carried his end of the log on his TV show. I recently heard he's ailing with something incurable. I'm gonna miss 'em. The "special features" offer very interesting information for the average film buff.

TRUE GRIT is a well-written screenplay and unlike any other western in which John Wayne has starred. His unusually defined gritty performance was truly worthy of an Oscar. The scenery and terrain in the film and its cinematography were outstanding,

Most people agree this wasn't Wayne's "best" performance (and that the Oscar win was a much overdue acknowledgement for his body of work). THAT SAID, this is STILL a great movie that has held up well. Everyone knows gunslingers and everyone knows the classic image of a cowboy on a cattle drive. But here we've got an ageing, hard drinking, disenchanted lawman who STILL knows when something is plain "wrong". Wayne broke new ground with this role, and Marshall Rooster Cogburn became an icon. Kim Darby's characterization of Mattie Ross ALSO broke new ground, giving us a strong young woman who keeps focused on avenging her father's death. If you've been on another planet and haven't seen this movie, give it a look. It won't disappoint....pilgrim.
