“Rooster Cogburn” is a Western movie released in 1975, directed by Stuart Millar and starring John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn, a US Marshal with a reputation for being tough, cantankerous, and fearless. The movie follows Rooster as he reluctantly teams up with a headstrong young woman named Eula Goodnight, played by Katharine Hepburn, to track down a gang of outlaws led by her father’s killer.

The movie also features a memorable musical score by Laurence Rosenthal, which helped to heighten the movie’s dramatic and action-packed moments.
