Rooster Cogburn (...and the Lady) Reviews:
classic western 
2009-11-21 - I love this movie.It is a classic western.Title Rooster Cogburn. With John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn. I would buy again. I got in a timely manner. Now I can watch when ever I want to now.
two great actors
2009-09-18 - All I can say is, John Wayne & Katharine Hepburn. two of my favorite actors. I was in heaven. They are wonderful together.
A Strutting Sheriff Who Knows How to Handle Outlaws
2009-06-29 - Sheriff Reuben Cogburn got the epithet "Rooster" as a result of his swaggering disposition. So effective has he been in nailing outlaws that an "enlightened" judge from the east, ignorant of the realities of the Wild West, took away his badge, for a time, for "being too successful".
Rooster Cogburn has to contend not only with outlaws and the judge, but also with the super-religious Eula Goodnight (Katherine Hepburn), who shows her mettle by going along with him for the chase against outlaw Hawk. Eula's father had been murdered by Hawk. An Indian boy who survived the massacre, Wolf, who wants to grow up to be a sheriff himself, also comes along.
The movie is full of dramatic scenes. Wolf falls asleep at his sentry post, and is kidnapped by the outlaws. So Cogburn's original "posse of three" is surrounded by the band of outlaws. At one point, the "posse of three" is traveling slowly down a stream---a sitting duck for the outlaws in wait behind the rocks above. Cogburn uses a primitive machine gun (a Gatling gun) very effectively on a number of occasions. But the raft with the "posse of three" runs into a series of dangerous rapids, and that with boxes of nitroglycerin on board. The Gatling gun falls and sinks the bottom of the river. And so it goes...
The natural scenery of this western is beautiful. It has been filmed in Oregon.
John Wayne is forever "THE MAN"
2009-06-10 - Although True Grit is my most favorite...Rooster Cogburn is great! It is a fun to watch easy to enjoy movie for every DUKE fan. I highly recommend it.
Respectable follow-up to True Grit 
2009-03-28 - In this sequel to True Grit, John Wayne returns as the tough Marshall Rooster Cogburn, and goes on another great adventure chasing outlaws. This time Katherine Hepburn is along for the ride. The combination of these two legendary actors actually works quite well. The contrast of the rough and tough Rooster to the Holy Roller makes for some entertaining dialogue and nice western comedy.
Rooster Cogburn is not without action, and is probably best remembered for the scenes with the Gattling gun, which my boys greatly enjoyed. If you like True Grit, then you will enjoy this film. Although John Wayne was starting to show his age at this point in his career - not many other actors ever come close to the Duke when it comes to Westerns.
