TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

John Wayne did not get along with Robert Duvall during filming, and at one point threatened to punch the young "Method" actor if he argued with the director again.

Elvis Presley was considered for the role of La Boeuf, the Texas Ranger. However, "Colonel" Tom Parker, his manager, insisted that Presley should receive top billing. The part was given to Glen Campbell instead.

Stunt double Jim Burk performed the entire scene where Rooster Cogburn charged Ned Pepper's gang on horseback. John Wayne was only seen briefly in close-up, and he was riding on a trailer, not a horse.

John Wayne had initially promised the role of Mattie Ross to his daughter Aissa Wayne, but Director Henry Hathaway refused to cast her.

The character of Rooster Cogburn was supposed to be around 40. John Wayne was 61 when the film was made. Jeff Bridges was 60 when he played Rooster Cogburn in the remake, True Grit (2010).

Popular Dialogues

"[Rooster confronts the four outlaws across the field] Ned Pepper: What's your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall? Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be? Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man. Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!"

"Goudy: I believe you testified that you backed away from old man Wharton? Rooster Cogburn: Yes, sir. Goudy: Which direction were you going? Rooster Cogburn: Backward. I always go backward when I'm backin' away."
