True Grit (1969, G)
John Wayne won the Academy Award For Best Actor for his portrayal of Rooster Cogburn here, and while his competition that year (Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman for "Midnight Cowboy" and Peter O'Toole for "The Lion in Winter") might have been more deserving on the merits of their performances, I'm glad that Duke received the honor. By this time in his career, he'd spent about fifty years entertaining the world with great movies, and he deserved to be acknowledged for that. He deserved the immense joy and satisfaction that it brought him. And if he was to win an Oscar for any of his movies, it was most fitting indeed for "True Grit" to be the one to bring him that singular honor. |
