She has been told that Marshall Cogburn is a man with true grit. She makes a deal with Cogburn to leave the next morning. Back at the boarding house another man questions her about the man she is looking for. Glenn Campbell plays a Texas Ranger who is after the same man for murder down in Texas. When she sees Cogburn, he knows about the Ranger and figures that two are better than one when he finds out about the reward being offered. Mattie is furious and demands the return of her money, but Rooster already spent it. She wants Rooster to keep his deal, but he never planned for her to come along. Finally Cogburn and Campbell are riding into the Indian Territories in search of their man. Mattie is close behind and they just can't shake her perseverance. Finally catching up with her father's killer and she shoots him but doesn't kill him. The head of the gang, Lucky Ned Pepper captures Mattie and makes Rooster and the Ranger back off or he will shoot her. They do so, and the Ranger circles back to save Mattie but is hit over the head with a rock and severely injured. Rooster goes after Ned Pepper and the rest of the gang and shoots them all, but his horse is killed and Rooster is trapped beneath him. The ranger shoots Ned Pepper just as he was going to kill Rooster. Rooster finds Mattie and shoots the man who killed her father.

Amazing! Although I purchased a previously used DVD, it is the best of all of them. And, the packaging was clever. Light weigh, yet secure - and waterproof. Amazon should use this manner.

I know a lot of people enjoyed the newer remake of this film, but to me this is the best! Probably has something to do with my age, but how can anyone not love John Wayne, Glen Campbell and Kim Darby in these wonderful roles.
