Review of True Grit (1969) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 10 Aug 1973
One of the glories of True Grit is that it recognizes Wayne's special presence. It was not directed by Ford (who in any event probably couldn't have been objective enough about Wayne), but it was directed by another old Western hand, Hathaway, who has made the movie of his lifetime and given us a masterpiece.
This is the sort of film you call a movie, instead of the kind of movie you call a film.
