![]() ![]() When Wayne comes he gets a lot more than he bargained for when he finds himself saddled with Hepburn and young Indian boy Richard Romancito. The gang shoots up the place and kills Lormer. ![]() The gang headed by Richard Jordan with Anthony Zerbe who used to scout for Wayne go to an Indian settlement with a missionary school headed by father and daughter preacher and teacher Jon Lormer and Katharine Hepburn. Wayne as Cogburn is on the trail of a gang that massacred an army patrol and stole a gatling gun and nitroglycerin for use in a planned bank robbery. Coming from her, I've got to believe that's the best compliment she could offer. ![]() I remember reading that she thought John Wayne projected the same sense of integrity that Spencer Tracy did on the screen. Hepburn was one of John Wayne's biggest boosters of his talent, politics aside. It was a happy marriage of convenience with John Wayne's character of Rooster Cogburn from True Grit being so popular that a sequel was inevitable given Wayne's health holding up and Katharine Hepburn looking for something she could co-star with Wayne. ![]() That's not saying a whole lot since this was a vehicle created for the two stars and only the two stars in this film could have brought it off. A reading of the other reviews of Rooster Cogburn indicate that only fans of the two stars should look at this film. ![]()
