TrueGrit is one of the more well know John Wayne films, this is actually one which I have heard of!!! For the second night running my husband got me to sit through one of his films, hope he does not think this is going to be a regular thing as it would take months to get through his collection.
This is one of John Wayne's later films where he is playing a character called Rooster Cogburn.
THE FILM
The film starts by a man called Frank leaving his family home to go and buy ponies and horses but when he is away he gets shot by a man called Chaney who also steals his family savings. His daughter Mattie, who is played by Kim Darby, accompanied by her family's servant goes to the town where the shooting happened to sort out the body of her father.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of True Grit (DVD)
Advantages: This is a recording containing excellent content, with wonderful sound quality due to top-notch recording technique, and the presence of stellarly talented artists. Disadvantages: It is often disappointing to be listening to a wonderful piece of music only to discover that merely a portion of the piece is contained on the recording.
This is an eclectic and, at the same time, fascinating recording. It contains some of the more interesting repertoire of one of the USA's most famous and talented symphonyorchestras, along with an assortment of conductors long-attached to the CSO.

The conducting, orchestra playing, choral singing and preparation, and soloist singing is almost unmatched. Especially notable is the performance of the Mater Gloriosa, a somewhat thankless role, performed especially beautifully by soprano Jann Jaffe. Of course, anyone who knows the piece cannot help but be drawn to this music. This famous "Symphony of a Thousand" is a masterpiece whose listening ...
Advantages: Rousing melodies, interesting percussion and infusion of Celtic instruments Disadvantages: This version of the film soundtrack is slightly condensed, and there's no vocal tracks
ago I was only interested in grunge and rock, so when I heard the track, 'A Gift of A Thistle', on Classic FM I immedialtely went and downloaded the complete album it was part of, the Soundtrack to Braveheart by James Horner, and I didnt regret doing so. Listening to the album as a complete work you are really taken into a magical, mystical world. The piece is performed by the London SymphonyOrchestra and they are dazzling in their playing, using choral elements, strings, horns, pipes, flutes, and bellowing drums.
The album really flows and feels connected and well thought out as a piece of work, it appears to eddy and bubble like a stream in places and rages like a waterfall in others, when the action gets going in the film obviously.The opening track "Main Title" sums up the rest of the work to follow, an atmospheric celtic pipe opening ...
