The system kept kicking me out---sorry for the repeats.

Thanks for posting those reviews of LILAC TIME! It's alway interesting to read what contemporaries thought about these films, especially in the context of their day. I was very moved by the scene in which Jeannine comes across the wounded German flier, who holds up the picture of his girl to her as he lay dying. At first Jeanine is filled with rage at seeing him, one of the "enemy" who shot down her lover, but then she can't help but empathize with his pain, just like her own.
Wonderful film!

And also Hells Angels, The Dawn Patrol, Test Pilot, No Highway in the Sky, The Spirit of St. Louis and No Island in the Sky!! That would be a great idea for a "theme".

The schedule on FMC's website indicates "LBX" so hopefully that's true.

Thank you because I really want this movie recorded!!

Hi Pktrekgirl---I'm a fan of THE LEFT HAND OF GOD, too! One of my favorite later, Bogie perfs and I think he and Gene make an intriguing pair....by the way, do you think they end up together at the end? It's very vague....

I didn't know about his family background before---did he become estranged from them, I wonder? Why else would he have to support himself as a gardener. What a troubled man!

Thanks---maybe that's why his name didn't readily associate itself in my mind with Snows.

Oooh---I just "wish listed" that new biography. I really need to get down to some serious reading. Between these boards, watching and collecting dvds and pictures of my favorites, and all the rest of my life (!), I barely have time to read anymore. I have to finish the Errol Flynn autobio, a Lincoln bio I am re-reading, the Brian Aherne book on George Sanders and still another biography on a famous sea captain. And now Viv's got a new one!!

Thanks for that delicious scrap of news. Hopefully, this 1st time Best Picture Oscar Winner will get a decent release on dvd.

Ladies, I don't think I can join you in MSN because the computers at my office block IMs and I don't always get back on here in the evenings.
However, I hope you will not abandon this thread and I will be with you in spirit. -
Thanks, Dan, for the list of what is available on dvd Region 1. I'm going to print it for reference.

I for one am PMing you for that loverly desktop, Pktrekgirl!!

Me too, once I finally get that danged recorder---I know! I know! I keep saying that, lol!
I have to see if I even get the BIO Channel---it may be one of those networks I have without even knowing.....

I love the drawing! That's so cool that your friend did that for you! Mrs. Cooper---ha ha!! We may have to become Mormons so he can have multiple wives.
-
Kim & Angie---I love both your forum names and I don't think you need bother about changing them either.
He still is collecting hearts, isn't he?

Coopsgal----Wonderful pix---my Photobucket runneth over!!!

Hi Coopsgal---
You have quite a collection of Gary's movies! As I've told the others, mine is pathetically puny and I'm only waiting on getting an new all-region dvd player and a new dvd recorder to start filling up my "Gary Cooper Shelf" in earnest (he get an entire shelf to himself).
I loved the clips from YouTube---what a marvelous start to my morning. I was especially delighted to see the clip from ALICE IN WONDERLAND, which I have never before watched. He was perfect and hilarous as the "Awkward Knight"! Only a man so graceful could play that kind of physical comedy --- and on a horse!! I bet Maria loved this movie.

Yikes! There go those seven-league boots! And the "dress whites" look breathtaking on him! (I know I'm jumping in late, so in case you forgot I'm commenting on the pix you posted in his boots and uniform)
I saw LILAC TIME last night (thanks Coopsgirl) and thought it was terrific---I'm beginning to be very fond of his silents, now! This film reminded me a great deal of THE DAWN PATROL, only with a romance thrown in, a la A FAREWELL TO ARMS. And you were right---the aerial scenes are nailbitingly great!! Those men did have courage.

My Paw taught me if you bait a bear trap use the best bait you can find!
And we're all very glad you have been "sucked back in".

Great balls of fire! I go away for one evening and miss out on over 30 posts!! I never thought we'd see 1,000 but we are closing in!

I have a feeling that is going to be a problem for me too one day! It's so addictive (I need another "vice", like I need a hole in the head! lol!) I saw "Imageshack" for the first time while looking at your DOOMSDAY pix---is it more complicated than photobucket? And one question about photobucket---besides creating separate "albums", is there no other way to organize our pix? Thanks, Coopsgal.

Good grief! I'd actually forgotten Bernard Hermann did the score! Yet another reason I have to have this movie.
-
>>>if I was picking one Hollywood star to sit around and drink & tell stories with...or go on an exotic trip with, I'd pick Flynn. But if I was picking a husband or father, I'd pick Cooper. <<<
Great assessment---and pour me a martini, too!

Lol!
It's hard to imagine anyone not seeing his magic, but it takes all kinds and that's ok, too. We'll try to be magnanimous!
However, I hope you will not abandon this thread and I will be with you in spirit.
