Two of the most popular stars in screen history are brought together for the first time in the follow-up to True Grit. The film returns John Wayne to the role of the rapscallion, eye-patched, whiskey-guzzling Deputy Marshall that won him an Academy Award. Katherine Hepburn is prim Eula Goodnight, a Bible-thumping missionary who teams up with the gunfighter to avenge the death of her father. While in pursuit of the outlaws, a warm rapport develops between the rough-and-tumble lawman and the flinty reverend?s daughter.
