Very cool! Thanks @ZS_Maverick for sharing the photos.

I agree, very cool. I love visiting historical places. to have it Duke related makes it better. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Can anyone help me find a SPECIFIC photo of Glen Campbell I KNOW was taken during True Grit? Here is what I can describe: It isn't the well-known one of him holding the revolver. It was shown briefly during a tribute when he passed away. Pretty sure it was NOT TCM as this was a still and they use clips. He may or may not have been on horseback. Almost certainly not wearing a hat, as the glowing golden aspens were directly behind his head giving almost the effect of a halo. This image was so great I thought it would be better known and am quite crestfallen not to find it, but has not turned up in Google, Pinterest, Getty Images, Glen's Official Website, or Glen's Facebook page. I am trying his message boards. Anyone help? Thanks!

The angle was similar to this:

This one is really nice but I'd need it in color.

Our member, Lasbugas, has the largest collection of pics that I have ever seen. Maybe he can shed some light on this. I can't recall seeing the image you speak of. Sounds like it was a great shot of him.

That would be really, really cool, and some of Glen Campbell's fans are also looking. I honestly saw the picture for three seconds during an in memoriam tribute, had time enough to think it was the greatest one of him I had seen, and over the decades I had seen a lot, and by the time I had time to think that it was gone. There are also so many channels now and no network to which I am loyal that I could even say what program it was on. Perhaps it could have been on the Academy Awards, which makes a lot of sense, as I don't watch the entire program but would have walked in for that part.

Update: It was 100% not the NBC Nightly News nor the Academy Awards. I found both on YouTube. NBC had a still picture but not that one and the Oscars did not even include Glen Campbell. That narrows it down to probably some New Year's Eve tribute.

Kim Darby's performance in the film doesn't let me down at all. I think she's absolutely brilliant in the role. She helps make the film as great as it is. Not only is she the perfect foil for Wayne's over-the-top character, but her scenes with Strother Martin are wonderful. Hopefully as time goes on more people will come to appreciate how good Kim is in this movie because I hate to see such a great performance constantly derided.

I have 2 Romanian posters for this great film, one with size 46x67 cm and one with size 36x47 cm. If you like them I am waiting your opinions.

Very nice posters. Are they from when the film was new, or are they printed more recently?

Thanks for sharing them with us.

These posters were printed when the film ran for the first time in Romania. For more informations write me at [email protected]

Thank you for sharing this.

Found True Grit on Hulu.

The location for the snake pit scene was inspired by a real outlaw hideout near McAlester, Oklahoma known as Robbers Cave.

There is a state park at the site today.

Very cool. Thanks for the little detail.

Robber's Cave is a just a few hours drive north of me! Here's a few pictures I took from my last trip up that way!

Nice pictures Maverick! I just wish people would leave the spray paint at home.
