I actually consume this movie to the first appearance of Wayne as Cogburn, “Fair Grit,” even though he got the Oscar for that while this one seems to have sunk with hardly a vital price. A sort of Western remake of “The African Queen” (complete with Katie Hepburn as a strait-laced spinster), with murderous outlaws taking the location of the Nazis, it finds Rooster unwillingly joining up with missionary’s daughter Eula Goodnight (”Sister,” as he calls her) to net her father’s murderers, who happen to be the same gang of ordnance-hijackers he was sent out from Fort Smith to apprehend. Though played remarkable more for laughs than its predecessor (here, as in “McLintock” and “Donovan’s Reef,” Wayne clearly displays an unmistakeable gift for comedy), it’s not without either headlong action, taut suspense, or sexual tension. Admittedly I’m not clear there are any river gorges like these in the *real* (obsolete) Indian Territory, but who cares when the scenery is so breathtaking? And there’s a distinct advantage to starting a script from scratch rather than trying to translate Charles Portis’s probably-authentic but somehow not-quite-flavorful-enough dialogue to film. While I never bothered to add “Good Grit” to my permanent collection, this sequel is definitely a fragment of it.
Sometimes a multitude of wrongs can advance out factual. Hollywood has a penchant for making sequels to successful films, so when John Wayne finally won an Oscar for his performance in “Apt Grit.” Wayne played Rooster Cogburn, a doughty, one-eyed U.S. marshal who never knew a dry day in his life. Fortunately Hollywood waited six years before making this 1975 sequel. However, at that point they not only hired a novice screenwriter, actress Martha Hyer (”First Men in the Moon”), they let her rip off “The African Queen” and turn it into a western. Fortunately, they hired Katharine Hepburn to play opposite the Duke.
That is what “Rooster Cogburn” comes down to, the chance for John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn to do scenes together; it also explains why the film is also known as “Rooster Cogburn and the Lady.” Hepburn plays Rose Sayer, no, wait, I mean Eula Goodnight, who is the daughter of a minister (Jon Lormer) instead of the brother of a missionary. The gospel is peaceful being brought to the natives, except this time we are position in the Cascades of Oregon rather than the jungles of Africa. The terrible guys are now a gang of thieves led by Breed (Anthony Zerbe) and Hawk (Richard Jordan), instead of Nazis, and this time they gun down the minister. So when Rooster comes along to track them down and bring them to his heed of justice, Eula insists on going along.
The site is predictable in terms of the outcome and familiar when Kate and the Duke extinguish up on the water. But there is fun to be had in these two standing toe to toe, but not jaw to jaw, and going at it. “To whom do you contemplate you are speaking,” she intones frostily. “You is to whom I mediate I am speaking, sister,” he shoots support. She allows that he is bigger than she is, but only physically. He observes in this dwelling that should be enough and they continue to have sizable fun with the dialogue. Wayne has large fun hamming it up and Hepburn enjoys having an actor spacious enough to stand up to her assault.

The stories from the dwelling were that the two large stars had grand fun making this movie. Their politics were at opposite ends of the spectrum so they fair avoid the topics and enjoyed being in each other’s company. Wayne was playing a character he had done before in a movie, but then Hepburn’s character is instantly recognizable as well, even if the name is different. The names do not matter. They can call them “Rooster Cogburn and the Lady,” but it is the Duke and Kate, and their fans will not be disappointed by their time together.
