Gary Cooper
Court Martial of Billy Mitchell
Gary Cooper,
Charles Bickford
Republic Pictures, 1998
A "heavy" film.
Although the family of the late General Mitchell did not approve the film, I think that gives a good example of the rigidness of the military mind - an attitude that has its pros and cons. In reality General Mitchell was more flamboyand and open-mouthed than the ...

IOkay, first off, I am not 13, I just don'thave time to go through everything in registering and all that jazz. I am too young to remember the actual case and facts,etc,etc. But, i just saw the Alyssa Milano vertion on Encore this morning (and cannot find the DVD) I ...
Now & Forever
Gary Cooper,
Carole Lombard
Universal Studios, 1996
Three Great Stars Early in Their Careers
NOW AND FOREVER is an excellent film that I think most people will enjoy. Gary Cooper was already a superstar when this movie was released in 1934 but Carole Lombard was rapidly rising and would be a major star by the end of the year as would the amazing six-year-old ...

HIGH NOON FOR JOE HILL
MATEWAN is set in a small West Virginia coal mining town of the same name, where in May of 1920 an armed conflict between striking miners and thugs sent in by the Baldwin-Felts organization to break the union resulted in what known as the Coalfield Wars, the biggest ...
Task Force
Gary Cooper,
Jane Wyatt
MGM (Warner), 1998
Five stars for historical accuracy of detail
This is one of the better historical films made about the war in the Pacific. and the 'thirties and 'forties aviation navy. I was in naval aviation near the time this was written about, and know the aircraft depicted. The depictions are accurate; one of the rare ...
Beau Geste
Gary Cooper,
Ray Milland
Universal Studios, 1992
Terrific cast.
Intriguing from the start, this adventure begins at the end of the story, with a foreign legion troop arriving to reinforce a fort in the desert, to find it defended by dead men. How it got that way unfolds in a flashback story of the three adopted Geste Brothers ...
Hanging Tree
Annette Claudier
, Gary Cooper
Warner Home Video, 1994
A Powerful, Complex Western
A tall stranger rides alone into a sprawling, chaotic, lively mining camp, somewhere in Montana. His first act is to do some hard bargaining to buy a cabin atop a hill overlooking the camp. A young man soon gets shot, as he tries to rob a gold-mining sluice, and ends ...
Blowing Wild
Gary Cooper,
Barbara Stanwyck
Republic Pictures, 1994
excellent 50's adventure film noir
i must respectfully disagree with mr. maltin on this one. what he considers"plodding" i would describe as dark drama. barbara stanwyck was at her most evil, gary cooper at his most distressed since"high noon", anthony quinn did well in a career enhancing role for ...
Friendly Persuasion
Gary Cooper,
Dorothy McGuire
Warner Home Video, 1998
"Concientious Conciences"
This movie is Gary Cooper at his best--not to minimize the other players because they are all perfect in their parts--you may be a little shocked to see Tony Perkins (Psycho, Tall Story) as Gary's son, but he plays the part well. There is so much humor in this film--a ...

Clara Bow
Paramount, 1996
If only there were Clara Bows around nowadays ..
A film that hits just about every human emotion in the repertoire and does so surprisingly well, although there is some overeagerness amongst the callow youth. The biggest surprise of all, however, is just how enchanting Clara Bow is as the very sexy girl next door. ...
Thunderbolt & Lightfoot
Clint Eastwood
,
Jeff Bridges
MGM (Video & DVD), 1992
Cimino first triumphant debut...
The very first shot of "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" - a faultless composition, fifty per cent wispy Idaho sky, fifty per cent cornfield - establishes an elegant style which Cimino maintains throughout the film... The second scene - Clint Eastwood as we have never seen ...
Cowboy & The Lady (1938)
Gary Cooper,
Merle Oberon
United Artists, 1994
Remembering this movie after all these years.
I saw this movie as a young teenager, when black and white movies dominated weekends and rainy days! This was a romance that helped set the stage for all I find good in a romance: innocence, humor, drama, passion (the boat scene when he knew he had to marry her that ...
Lives of Bengal Lancer
Gary Cooper,
Franchot Tone
Universal Studios, 1992
We Have Ways To Make Men Talk
I give extra points to this movie for just its one famous line, Mohammed Khan threatening his captives with the little phrase, "We have ways to make men talk." But thinking about it's how silly is it to cast Douglas Dumbrille as Mohammed Khan, the radical Moslem ...

Unconquered DVD
An excellent movie with Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard. Funny seeing Boris Karloff as the Seneca chief. After several years trying to find this movie on DVD, it was fantastic to finally find it in this format. A definite must-buy for lovers of American history.
