True Grit

1969 John Wayne, Henry Hathaway
can see why the Coen Brothers are remaking- downright weird
starts really very engaging; offbeat use of girl with hangings etc
Wayne is better than usual, less board-like
editing a little haphazard, bu rolls along
character development is minimal; leads to not caring
ergo dull last half hour
but still weird; farcical action sequences
an interesting curio, if not a very good film
