SOLID FOLLOW UP TO THE ORIGINAL! NEEDS A NEW DVD RELEASE! Watching 'True Grit' and This sequel back to back I was able to compare the films and their first releases. While I don't own the newest edition of 'true Grit' the version I own has a super picture and excellent sound. The sequel looks very good, but the print and transfer pale by comparison. The film is a bit grainy and should be revamped for a new release. The film however is very enjoyable with both stars in great form.
"Lord help us if they ever get the vote." Rooster Cogburn DVD
John Wayne reprises his role in True Grit as a crusty, over-the hill, U. S. Marshall, this time he is teamed up with Katharine Hepburn who plays the feisty daughter of a minister to the savage Indians. The Minister has been killed by a group of rather incompetent outlaw's and Rooster has promised to "bring them to justice". This movie shows Wayne at his comedic best. Highly recommended for fans of John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn and fans of the comedy Western.

Bad Video Transfer I have long liked this film and had it on VHS and wanted the DVD.
One would think that the second DVD release would be of a better quality than this one is. Whatever equipment was used to transfer the film to DVD was not good. There scenes in the movie that go in and out of focus, and the entire film has a grainy look. I wish I had waited until a better copy was released.
Rooster Cogburn I previously owned this movie on VCR. My rewinder ate it. I watched for Rooster Cogburn and the Lady for the past three years in several local stores before I was told to try amazon.com. I was delighted at the cost - lower than I expected, the sensible mailing (much more economical) for delivery, and the DVD quality was great!!
Fun Movie To Watch An entertaining sequal to True Grit, this movie is a blatant rip-off of The African Queen ( right down to Katharine Hepburn being the leading lady ). If you know the plot of The African Queen .... you know the story of Rooster Cogburn. Had it been more original, I would have rated it higher, but still it's a fun movie to watch.
