♥♥♥♥♥ |
Incredibly touching ...
|
I have to agree with the hordes of viewers that point out that this film was written by a novice screenwriter with the intention of repackaging [[ASIN:B000EWFDWE The African Queen]], but strangely everything after the script, goes incredibly well and thus "Rooster Cogburn and the Lady" not only turns out to be an enjoyable film, but a very good western in the truest sense of the word.
The chemistry between John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn is unmistakable and enough to melt any icy demeanor and any detractor of 'The Duke's'. Katherine Hepburn, a staunch liberal and Wayne, a staunch conservative was also probably enough to bring everyone and their mother to see this movie when it premiered, as it would likely make even the deceased curious. I've seen it several times and probably will watch it yet again.
Hollywood often butchers great films and great ideas by trying to milk a sequel, and this is clearly evinced with the old-school attempt with the tomfoolery concerning the script, so this film might go down as the best film from probably the most unoriginal script, mainly due to the chemistry, the believability, and yes ... the acting.
