      Lets not forget Marion Morrison (John Wayne) did everything he could to get out of serving in the military and so did his studio honchos. He took the safe way out of harms way.

      Doubtless there are people who think he actually was a Green Beret. I think the walk would have disqualified him.

      REMant is dead wrong, as are so many others complaining about this being a remake.

      Sure, there was a 1969 movie called 'True Grit', and sure - it was a rip-snorting good movie.

      Before that it was an excellent Charles Portis novel. The first movie was no less a "remake" of that fine novel.

      The Coen brothers' 'True Grit' is no more a "remake"

      of that Henry Hathaway movie, than John Huston's 'The Maltese Falcon' is a "remake" of the Roy Del Ruth version before it, or Orson Welles's 'The Magnificent Ambersons' was a "remake" of one of the earlier versions (first one filmed in 1925), or Edward Dmytryk's 'Farewell My Lovely' is a "remake" of the first version of that Chandler novel - 'The Falcon Takes Over' - like Dick Richards's loving version is a "remake" of the Dmytryk, or as Jane Campion's 'The Portrait of a Lady' is a remake" of one of the countless versions before it, or William Wyler's 'Ben Hur' likewise, and the list can go on and on and on...

      Multiple adaptations of literary works are as old as the cinema itself, and to deny that their can be improvement in new versions, to say the first, "the original" is somehow Untouchable, is naive bordering on asinine.

      Kudos to RE for non-contrarian snipe. Underwear size finally found?

      Remake of the 1969 John Wayne film.
