Quite a few scenes were also shot in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bishop, California (oddly, Wayneâs âNorth To Alaskaâ was also shot, in part, there). Inevitably, there will be comparisons between each of the versions of âTrue Gritâ.
Battle vs. Rooster Cogburn (1969) (by UnCODlyGod)Edit. Rooster Cogburn of the 1969 film, True Grit, steps out of a saloon with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. He mounts his horse and rides out of the little town, with onlookers waving at him. He waves back and heads toward the sandy hills. BANG!!!! A bullet wizzes by Cogburn's head.
