    • Trivia
      Richard Jordan later admitted he decided to overplay his part because he thought the movie was going to flop, and if anybody paid to see it then it would only be for the two stars. He also said he felt that Katharine Hepburn was about to die at any minute - ironically, she outlived him by a decade.
    • Goofs
      In one scene, the Indian boy, Wolf, asks Rooster Cogburn if he ever ran into Billy the Kid or Jesse James, which Cogburn denied; however, Cogburn served with Quantrill's Raiders, a pro-Confederate guerrilla group in the Civil War, whose members included a then-teenage Jesse James--making it quite likely that Cogburn would've met him.

      [last lines]

      Eula: Reuben, I have to say it. Livin' with you has been an adventure any woman would relish for the rest o' time. I look at cha, with your burned out face and your big belly and your bear-like paws and your shining eye, and I have to say you're a credit to the whole male sex, and I'm proud to have ya for my friend.

      Rooster Cogburn: I'll be damned if she didn't get the last word in again. Well...

    Hepburn & the Duke made a fairly decent movie and that's enough reason to see it at least once. The fact that Hepburn has a Father in the movie is suspect, at best, especially since he's not played by Moses himself. But that's besides the point here - they have terrific chemistry and their star power alone could put most of the actors on the screen today to shame. It would have been really memorable if the movie were worthy of them, though.
