Norwood is a 1970 film that reunites True Grit co-stars Glen Campbell and Kim Darby, also featuring Joe Namath. It was based on the book of the same title, written by Charles Portis (who also wrote True Grit), but updated from the original 1950s setting to 1970. The film marked the final screen appearance of actor Jack Haley. Norwood Pratt (Campbell) has just finished his enlistment in the United States Marine Corps and is on his way home from Vietnam. A musician, his one great ambition is to appear on the radio program Louisiana Hayride. Along the way, Norwood meets a variety of characters, including a flim-flam man (Pat Hingle), a jaded would-be starlet (Tisha Sterling) and his Marine buddy Joe Reese (Namath). However, the most important person that he meets is Rita Lee Chipman (Darby), the "right kind of girl," who is unfortunately an unwed, soon-to-be mother (in an age where this was uncommon and somewhat shameful). She supports him and is there when Norwood finally reaches the KWKH studio as his dream comes true. The final scene shows her proudly watching Norwood as he goes on the air with the Hayride. LESS
