Auction History Result 2g0950 TRUE GRIT int'l 1/2sh 1969 John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell Date Sold 6/9/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded International Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (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.

Important Added Info: Note that this is an "international" style half-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box and NSS information. Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has some slight discoloration along a few inches of the left half (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
