John Wayne Movie Review: ***^Rooster Cogburn

Rooster Cogburn is a sequel to True Grit and based on the same character developed by Charles Portis in the novel True Grit.   This movie stars John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn as an unlikely pair Rooster Cogburn a U.S. Marshall and Eula, a religious zealot whose father is murdered by outlaws.  She recruits Cogburn to go after her father's killers while he is trying to recover nitroglycerin from some bank robbers; who are the same people.  Cogburn hopes to drop off the lady, and her young friend, Wolf, throughout the struggle, but never gets the chance.  Turns out they prove helpful.  Wolf scatters the outlaws horses and Eula is handy with a gun.
