I'd certainly love to see this movie one day. Thank you for posting that, Dan.
I do admit it bothers me when people criticize films on the basis of a point of view held by most of their contemporaries, rather than try to let the movie stand on its own and in the context of the time it was made. (Or rather, simply form their own, individual opinion, not influenced by anything!!) That includes the snideness toward a certain acting style. We all have grinned at the gesticulating and seeming over-the-top histrionics of some (not all) silent performers---so that's a given and a much too easy target to even be worth mentioning in any critiques any more. Why not try to understand that style is precisely what audiences back then, many of whom could NOT speak or read a word of English. enjoyed and expected. And personally I think that's more comprehensible than, say, our modern tastes for blood and gore. I have yet to get a reasonable explanation for that to this day.
OK, I have done with my "rant", Lol!

I'm going to look it up tonight whether Coop has had a stamp.
I'll also look into what imdb.com has to say about the story of SEVEN DAYS LEAVE---thanks for the beautiful picture, Dan!

Pktrekgirl----if you ever find a source for the Kay Francis/William Powell films, ONE WAY PASSAGE or JEWEL ROBBERY, I'd be thrilled to buy copies myself!
I think OWP may be on dvd, since Netflix has it on my waiting list, but there is no detailed product info. or date of availability.

Yes, I'm trying to center my picture so the text doesn't wrap around it and stretch the thread out. It looks like someone managed to "edit" my post to fix that problem but I didn't know how to do it myself.
I do have Lilac Time----courtesy of Coopsgirl!! Unfortunately, I'm the only prehistoric monster here without ability to burn dvds, nor do I yet have a dvd recorder of any kind.
That will all be rectified as soon as I can, I promise! -
Coopsgirl, the pictures you and Dan posted have "C-O-W-B-O-Y" written all over them. Love them. :x
Why hasn't Gary Cooper gotten his own U.S. Stamp? (Or has he?)

It is an "odd" board for posting pix. But still easier than that other forum I told you about---I've tried explaining how to post pix to several folks there and unfortunately it's so complicated some can't get it to work.
At least here it's easier to get them on in the first place, even if you can't manipulate the spacing easily. I remember BobHopeFan1940 kindly 'splained it to me once before but I can't find her message. Maybe I'll PM her today.
Everyone: MAN OF THE WEST reminder!! TCM is airing it this Sunday at 4:00 pm. EST. Wish I could get my dvd-recorder by then, but I will put this on a very high quality vhs and then maybe I can convert to dvd later, (until it comes on dvd officially, that is)
-
I used to have that pic as my "signature" on my emails, and once I sent off an email to a friend confirming I was coming to visit her---she wrote back, "you can come only if you bring the guy in the chair with you!"
P.S. I can't remember how you space photos on this forum so it doesn't stretch out the entire thread....can you or someone else tell me?

Good morning, Coopsgirl!
I love your posters----that's quite an assortment any one of which I'd be happy to have hanging on my wall!!
Ideally, here is the picture I would like to have a nice, maybe 8 x 10, print of to frame and hang one day:

FYI, they are making a stage musical of Meet John Doe. Here is an article with more info:

The article below has a picture of the actor who is playing Gary's part---not exactly the same "Long John" Willoughby!

> He's probably letting her win.
Yes, it looks like he's letting her win and pretending to be mad about it.

I honestly don't remember the "Cynthia" theme, but I look forward to revisiting it once I get the dvd.

OK now I'm clear about proboard, imageshack & photobucket. I think I will stay with photobucket for the time being, I just wish I could organize my pix better. But now I'm being picky.
P.S. That one showing Shirley playing checkers with GC is adorable. Looks like she's beating him!
-
Gary Coleman and Gary Cooper - Yup! There's quite a streeetch between them!
I can't wait to get my shelves built and have all my stuff up, especially the Gary Cooper books and movies that I am slowly collecting. Then my friends and family who come by will have no choice but to see his handsome face. I'd love to get a very nice quality print to frame and hang on the wall, along with a picture of Gable, Errol and a few others, in a nice arrangement.

This board is acting up with me today. Cooper overload, perhaps!
-
Ha ha! I have only two or three friends who know (through me) who Gary Cooper is and what he even looks like. They are used to my unusual, old-fashioned tastes. All of them agree, though, that they don't make them like that anymore!
Even when they made them like that, they didn't make them like him!
I like to draw myself and in past did a series of sketches of different classic Hollywood stars, mostly men with rugged faces (Bogie, John Wayne, Sinatra) but how I overlooked Coop I don't know. One day I'd like to tangle with his image and see what I come up with . I like your friend's pen-and-ink outline.

Hi Mrs. C---Thanks for that info; and I have one more question---what is a "Proboard"?

You underestimate women, particularly Ingrid---she was looking up at him because she wanted to eat him up!!

I want to see KINGS OF THE SUN---you are the second person to say they enjoyed it and Yul's performance.

Mine too---and I don't want to fail to mention Helen Hayes and Martita Hunt's excellent portrayals.

I just PM'd you about the Francis/Powell films.
Everyone: It looks like it's the day of the cowboy kings, May 22nd---since that is apparently also the release date of a slew of John Wayne movies from Warner Home Video, to celebrate his 100th birthday (May 26). This I think is good for GC fans, too, because there is bound to be a lot of reviews/fan-fare on both; comparisons no doubt, and lots of attention to the Western genre.
To quote Martha: "It's a good thing".
