Two of the most popular stars in movie history are brought together for the first time in Rooster Cogburn, the adventure-filled follow-up to True Grit. The legendary John Wayne reprises his role of the eye-patched, whiskey-guzzling U.S. Deputy Marshal that won him an Academy Award. Katharine Hepburn joins him as Eula Goodnight, a missionary who pairs up with the grizzled gunfighter to avenge the death of her father. While in pursuit of the outlaws, a tenderhearted relationship develops between the rough-and-tumble lawman and the flinty reverend's daughter as they join forces to secure justice in the untamed west.

Pauline Kael

the director, Stuart Millar, can't seem to find a discreet enough distance for the camera.

David Sterritt

Universal Pictures has taken two of the great old American stars, turned them loose in the Wild West, and come up a genuine old-fashioned horse opera.

Wayne gives it what he can, and so does Hepburn, but there's just too much going against them.

For those on the hunt for something agreeable, feature two acting legends, there are worse ways to spend 108 minutes. After all it's not every day one gets to see Katharine Hepburn man a Gatling gun.

A sort of controlled experiment in what happens when two completely incompatible movie stars occupy the same physical space.
