Auction History Result 4d778 TRUE GRIT Japanese '69 John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell Date Sold 8/16/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2") (Learn More) True Grit, the classic 1969 Henry Hathaway Texas cowboy western ("The strangest trio ever to track a killer. A fearless, one-eyed U.S. marshal who never knew a dry day in his life... A Texas ranger thirsty for bounty money... And a girl still wet behind the ears who didn't care what they were or who they were as long as they had true grit."; "A Brand New Brand of American Frontier Story."; "From the novel by Charles Portis") starring John Wayne (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as U.S. Marshal Reuben J. 'Rooster' Cogburn), Glen Campbell (as La Boeuf, the Texas Ranger), Kim Darby (as Mattie Ross), Jeremy Slate, Robert Duvall, Strother Martin, and Dennis Hopper. Note that this was the movie for which John Wayne won a Best Actor Oscar (over both Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboy), and many people are of the opinion that the award was a gift to Wayne (a sort of "lifetime achievement award"), but actually, he was really magnificent in the part (although personally, I think Dustin Hoffman DID deserve the Oscar!). When this movie was first submitted for a rating, it was rating "M", and posters were printed with that rating. The producers of the movie decided it would be worth it to them to have the movie have a "G" rating, so that everyone would see it, and they did some small editing and it was resubmitted and rated "G". There are posters with both ratings, and both are from the first release of the movie, but we always note which rating items have, for those who want one or the other.

Some posters were stored in a tri-folded fashion, but where someone took a group of posters and then tri-folded the entire group. This means that many of the posters have only a slight "waviness" one third of the way from the top and the bottom of the poster, but they are not actual folds. They are normally not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster, but they can be seen from the back of the poster, and they mean that the poster does not lay 100% flat. These "waves" greatly diminish if the poster is put under weight for a time, and become almost completely invisible. Most collectors consider them a very minor defect, much less of a defect than actual foldlines. Also note that this poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There is a small amount of tattering along the lower left edge of the poster with some repaired with tape from the back. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
