Pardon Me, I stand Corrected. I of course believe that EVERY time Robert Duval takes to the screen he is absolutely fabulous. I am forlorn as to have mde such an ignorant statement. I completely overlooked his excellent roll as “Lucky” Ned Pepper, I was thinking more about ‘Moon’ who was fabulously played by hopper.
I stand humbled and corrected, sir.

"Im a fan of Wayne, but the original True Grit just wasnt one of my favorite of his films. "
However the sequel, Marshall Rooster Cogburn was a fine film. A genuine classic.

Absolutely not! It is a full throated honest apology, as i had a total brain cramp about Duval.
However, the roll is NOT a large one. I would have much rather scene he or even Hopper get a crack at the La Boeuf roll. I just dislike Cambell in the roll. He is ham handed at best and not a good actor. Also I never bought Darby as 14 years old. Having been 14 and having known many 14 year old girls, she is much too old fo rthe roll. She is passable aty best.

Our first born was nearly born at the Yokosuka O Club. The hospital said my wife wasn’t ready yet..so we headed to the club and had a couple drinks while watching a flick.

I thought Darby was horrible. She ruined the movie for me.Same here, not a bad movie, but definitely not the Duke's best.
Hollywood has no original ideas anymore...all lib PC/indoctrination garbage...ironically, True Grit was one of the last movies I've seen on the big screen. Star Wars, Jaws, Star Trek, Batman(first big screen version)...that about covers the rest.

No I didn't I just wanted to further expand on how much I thought the movie was compromised by the Cambell roll, and not helped by Darby at all.

Oh man........How I wish John Wayne was still here, and making movies. He would be countering some of this idiocy that is being spouted for sure.
Just like when he made the green berets. I cry all the way through that movie when I see it now-a-days. Once upon a time in Hollywood, we had some real patriots who were very outspoken.

Gielgud was hilarious! Another for the ages. His dry humor was so great that it actually removed the water from all facets and fountains within 100 yards!
We were very fortunate to have his like in movies. This generation is limping along with people who, by and large, do not treat acting as a craft.
