John Wayne in True Grit, Then and Now, Extended Video

Wow, gal, you are really good at compiling videos. This was grrrrrrrrreat!

Actually, I knew most of the places and stumbled across the rest. The longest part of making this was making screen caps of the movie before I went down there to film so I could stand in the exact spot to film and photograph the scenes! Thanks for watching!

This is an A-1 movie and turned me into a John Wayne fan.

I have to see this part of the country....

True Grit is one of my favorite movies.
I'm from Arkansas and my uncle lives near Dardanelle and Yell County...but it's just a spite less beautiful than this! ha

Very wonderful post.

Sure, the Duke's terrific in "True Grit," but even better in "The Searchers" (1956), where he plays the role of his life as Ethan Edwards--ex-Confederate soldier!

i thought the duke was going to come out of the woods when you switched the pics back and fourth, i love to see the old locations, it looks like they filmed yesterday in some locations!

Wow!

It is so AWSOME i am going to tell everybody!!!

Great job! Brought back a lot of memories of the Duke. I need to show up to True Grit Days sometime!

good movie im glad i bought it on dvd! because i cant find the whole thing anywere

I agree with thatsrich. An outstanding movie and thanks to you for tieing the past to the present so that we may better remember the movie and the cast.
Great work!

awesome video,the duke will never be forgotten.

Thanks for all your hard work on this video. True Grit is not only the best Wayne movie, it is one of the best westerns of all time, and I might even say one of the flat out best films ever of any genre. The dialog alone makes it stand out. The vernacular is much more realistic than you get in many period pieces. The scenes with Strother Martin, the horse dealer, and Matty are pure genius.

To continue Thats the directors job and most actors cant make that leap. Its a different skill set. But the Golden Globe nominating committee should have known better. Then again maybe there was a dearth of new talent that year and Campbell actually was one of the best of a poor crop. Im a patient man, ObamaRules4Ever . Ive instructed my computer to remind me in 26 years to check back and see what you think of the movie after you turn 40.
