FILL YOUR HAND, YOU SON OF A BITCH - REDUX


A lot has been said about the new version of True Grit. and how it's more of a return to the book than a remake of the original film.

Having seen both versions, I'd have to say that's not an entirely true statement.

Although the original version, released in 1969, is a bit more light in tone and features a happy ending (it was produced by Hal Wallis and directed by Henry Hathaway, two old-school Hollywood heavyweights), the new version is an ALMOST shot-for-shot remake.
