Two of the most popular stars in screen history are brought together for the first time in this follow up to True Grit. The film returns John Wayne to the role of Rooster Cogburn that won him an Academy Award. Katherine Hepburn is prim Eula Goodnight, a bible thumping missionary who is out to avenge the death of her father. Teaming up with Cogburn, sparks fly in this mismatched relationship between the rough and tumble lawman and the flinty Reverend's daughter.

In this memorable collaboration between John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn, Wayne reprises his Oscar-winning role in True Grit and Hepburn plays the same kind of Bible-bashing spinster she portrayed in The African Queen. Here, Hepburn is the missionary who tames the truculence of one-eyed Wayne as they search for her father's killers. The performances are wonderful, but the film relies too much on its elderly leads and is flawed by Stuart Millar's sluggish direction. It remains eminently watchable, but ultimately looks more like a cash-in on our sympathies as we watch great stars going through their paces.
