The day after my family saw the new True Grit...they were playing the old John Wayne one on cable. My brother was watching it....I walked in and watched it for awhile and my brother said.....”Boy, they are saying the exact same lines....and the scenes are just the same.” I noticed the same similarities (albeit-limited time) and was “shocked” because I read how “different” it was going to be.
Oh well there you have it.
