True Grit (1969)

John Wayne plays an eye-patch wearing U.S. Marshal with a tough façade and a love of the bottle, or more precisely what's in the bottle. There's an attempt to give him a dual nature, but Wayne's abundant charisma is impossible to hide and even when he's being mean he's likeable.
Similarly, Kim Darby has two sides to her but it too is surface deep.
It's a typical American tale that moves from A to B to C with no great surprises, but it's a great film, nonetheless, full of humour and charm.
The 2010 Coen Bros version is equally as good.
