I think I read the book many years ago. I've seen both movies. I still have trouble not seeing John Wayne when I think about Rooster Cogburn. Really enjoyed reading your review.
Thank you. Then there was that 1975 sequel, just called Rooster Cogburn, which I'm sure helped cement John Wayne in the role. Portis had envisioned George C. Scott for True Grit. That would have been a very different movie.
