Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRichard Jordan later admitted he decided to overplay his part because he thought the movie was going to flop, and if anybody paid to see it then it would only be for the two stars. He also said he felt that Katharine Hepburn was about to die at any minute - ironically, she outlived him by a decade.
- GoofsIn one scene, the Indian boy, Wolf, asks Rooster Cogburn if he ever ran into Billy the Kid or Jesse James, which Cogburn denied; however, Cogburn served with Quantrill's Raiders, a pro-Confederate guerrilla group in the Civil War, whose members included a then-teenage Jesse James--making it quite likely that Cogburn would've met him.

[last lines]
Eula: Reuben, I have to say it. Livin' with you has been an adventure any woman would relish for the rest o' time. I look at cha, with your burned out face and your big belly and your bear-like paws and your shining eye, and I have to say you're a credit to the whole male sex, and I'm proud to have ya for my friend.
Rooster Cogburn: I'll be damned if she didn't get the last word in again. Well...

Featured review
Wayne and Hepburn sparkle
Not the best John Wayne movie, but a damn good one. He and Hepburn make it move along, and you can see the genuine chemistry between their characters. As the movie progresses, you can feel him come to understand and respect her, and you can feel her becoming more fond of him, regardless of his faults. He finally admitting that being with her "pleases" him, and her final speech to him says it all. An enjoyable film all around.
