VHS "True Grit" - John Wayne's oscar winning performance!

John Wayne is a timeless treasure - never more at his best here and a true patriot and American. Westerns seem to fit him best.....well, those and war movies.....and, just about everything else he did!

The box is clean and with virtually no wear. Intact all around.

A pure western in which a lawmen tracks a criminal, TRUE GRIT, based on Charles Portis' novel, reunited John Wayne with director Henry Hathaway (THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER). Wayne is crotchety U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, who would rather stay home than chase criminals. He heeds the call, though, when fourteen year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) calls on him to avenge her father's death at the hands of a man who has escaped into Indian territory. Glen Campbell is a Texas ranger who accompanies them for his own reasons. Wayne reprised the role six years later in ROOSTER COGBURN.
