Am I the only one having the absolute worst time tying to stay logged in and respond to this thread? It's taken me hours to get in here! Arrrrg!

I had to leave for my sisters the night before it was playing; but I set my timer so hopefull it worked and no one messed with it. I really wanted to see "Alias Jesse James" and now I have! Yippee! So I guess it wouldn't be too terrible if it didn't tape...but then there's always that feeling, "I have all his movies available to the public...except 1." That one will forever haunt me; but we'll see how it turns out.
Okay, I'm rambling, I'm sorry. I just wanted to say thanks sis! For uploading the movie
And P.S. those others are amazing

You aren't tipsy; I loved it, too. Although I was a little leary in the beginning when she made it "opposite" but it was actually amazingly well done and I agree that she should get some recognition for her hard work

Blah.
Message was blown up and hacked by: MrsCooper who is now planning to kill and destroy the "brains" of this very confusing and poorly planned outfit.

Another video by Lauzi.
Redoing Alvin York. It looks like a whole new movie!

I have a question, since they "updated" the forum I can't seem to get the underline, bold and italicize options to work for me anymore. When I highlight a word and click on the B, I or U button nothing happens....I notice that it is working for you ladies, has something changed?
It really looks different; I don't know if this is better, though.
Edited: I HATE THIS VERSION.

My obsession is to find as many photos and rarities as possible on Gary, but the strange thing is that there's a limited supply over the internet! I never thought I'd say that but golly...there is! I find them here and there now, but not as easily as I used to.
I'm so glad you all liked them!
Here's a photo with his peircing blue eyes, pally:

I love these profile shots:

I Think Gary Cooper is a great actor i just love him in Mr Deeds goes to town and in The lady and the cowboy i think he should be reganized more becuse he's just as good of an actor as Gable and Grant maybe even better and he has a very pleasent vocie that just draws u in to any thing he does and he's very handsome on top of all that.
Amen, RentHead!
Mr. Deeds is my favorite as well; and Cowboy in the Lady is just so cotton-pickin' adorable! I know we all agree that he should be recognized more than he is, and that's what we're trying to do here. lol, 4,000 posts later and we're still trying. But it seems to be working because a few people have wandered in here inquiring about Gary so this is definately the place to be if you're a Gary fan at all or just wondering about his shoe size. I absolutely love his voice, as you mentioned, and yes...he is very handsome!

Welcome Lamarr!
Any topic on the subject of Gary in this thread isn't off topic at all; that's why we're here! To talk about the man himself.
So glad to see another Gary fan wander in here! You'll just have a blast but the thread does go pretty darn fast. Don't get discouraged though; we absolutely love to hear others' thoughts; so post whatever you'd like. I promise you -- if it's about Gary -- no one will stop and tell you you're off topic because we're all die hard Coop fans around here! So come on in, take a seat; you'll be a vetern beofre you know it!

Larry Swindell's "The Last Hero" is an aweful book -- end of story. I swear, this week I'm gonna go out into the woods and burn it. Of course first...I'm going to rip the pictures out and tape them to my wall....

My first attempt at making a GIF (THE HARD WAY! Arrrrg):
Lauzi's specialties:

Tonight I watched a GC movie that I hadn`t seen for years "Now And Forever". Yes, it was a Shirley Temple movie, but Gary was the star. I liked how his relationship with Shirley progressed, and he did it so lovingly.
Adorable movie, and as you said his relationship was so loving with her. It was so adorable how he nursed her when she was sick. I'm so glad Carole Lombard and him did a movie together; I think they did very well as a team. I'll have to watch this movie again! It's been a couple years...

Hey Mrs. Cooper regarding
Count me in, please. That opening sequence alone, at Fort Zinderneuf, with everyone dead, brilliant. GC and Brian Donlevy are terrific together.
It's about cotton-pickin' time someone else likes that movie! I was beginning to think I was morbid.
The music and outline of the story was wonderful; and the way it all tied in at the end was just amazing. It's high up on my list of favorite Gary movies. I began to appreciate Ray Milland as an actor in that film -- it's what prodded me along to request a few of his movies from NetFlix.
There's an odd bit of trivia with GC in Beau Geste -- He's the only actor to have ever played in a sequel before starring in the original. GC did Beau Sabreur, the sequel, in 1928.
I had read (of course out of Homer Dickens' marvelous book 'The Films of Gary Cooper') that Beau Sebreur was the orginial Beau Geste but was more in the lines of a romance than anything else. But I guess it was a flop to the public and critics alike.
Motion Pictures News knocked:
"Beau Sebreur merely goes over familiar ground. It is well-enough staged, and is competently acted by Noah Beery. Gary Cooper is too grim as the hero, but Evelyn Brent reveals acting ability which shows that her talent flashed in 'Underworld' is genuine."
Film Daily:
"Gary Cooper carries the hero part well. Evelyn Brent makes silly love interest worthwhile. William Powell a great heavy, as usual."
And Variety declared, "Cooper makes a passable hero, Miss Brent leaves the imprint of having been miscast, and Beery is under heavy wraps, histrionically and physically, so that he doesn't help much on performance. This tale is far under the horsepower of which 'Geste' could boast, and all in all is amongst the weakest features that Paramount has shown lately. It's hardly likely to recieve favorable word-of-mouth exploitation."
Well, it's 79 years later and people are still discussing it; granted, not about the film itself because obviously we've never seen it; but it didn't seem to hold him back one bit. There was also another article that stated 'Gary Cooper would only remain a small-time B actor with no real future.' So these small articles on 'Beau Sebreur' do nothing but make me want to look up the word "histrionically".
Marty Feldman used a clip of Cooper in Beau Geste for his weird send-up, The Last Remake Of Beau Geste.
Hah! I'll have to see that!

I wonder why " Alone Come Jones " wasn't on TCM schedule ?
Because it's been scheduled for the 27th of August. (And Sept. 1)
-
my 2 months shy of 10 year Airdale dog had passed away while trying to get fluids put back into her and I have just finished buring her.
Oh no! Dan, I'm so sorry! I know no other dog could replace her, but did you ever think of, perhaps, getting one from the shelter to take care of for a while? It could help to get your mind off things. I know you'd never want to forget her, but maybe it could help ease the pain a bit more.
I'll pray that things will work out in your situation and I hope you'll cheer up soon. If you need to take some time for yourself, please do; your life is more important than a message board.

I log off at 12 am and get on at 4pm...and I miss 4 pages of posts; you guys are caarrazzzy! lol
I'll be spending the rest of my day just going through what I missed this afternoon...and once I get caught up I'll probably have missed another 5 pages!

Mrs. Cooper -- You sure know how to soften me up. The Woman in the Window is a Fritz Lang film. I still haven't seen it yet but I finally will this week.
It isn't a terribly dark film, more of a crime/investigation movie. I absolutely love it and can't wait to see it again (I missed the first 30 minutes of it); so let me know what you think once you've seen it.
-
Howdy, Mrs. Cooper -- I thank you for your suggestions. You've got my likes down now.
I've ordered Cloak and Dagger (Fritz Lang) and I should be getting it this week. My brother has Morocco and I may ask to borrow it this week. The Naked Edge definitely sounds like my kinda of film. The Hanging Tree and Ten North Frederick are two films Miss G has also recommended to me.
I just got interested in Raymond Massey, Edward G. Robinson and Boris Karloff films, so if you have any suggestions on great noir films, send me a PM; I need some good ones to start off with.
Wow! I'm impressed. I actually did not have you pegged as one to venture into film noir. You seem to prefer the uplifting films more so than the darker ones. I'm not sure you're gonna like noir. Miss G is really the best person to ask about noir because she doesn't like the darker, fatalistic noirs as much as I do. Her tastes may match yours. But I'd be glad to share my thoughts with you if you want to PM me.
By the way, I completely respect your tastes. I like that you are looking for the good in films and society. I really admire that.
Hiya Frank!
I sat down and watched an Ed. G. film last week and I was amazed (Woman in the Window). I also love George Raft but he's a hard fella to pin down on TCM and Netflix. I'm very excited to step my foot into the "Darker" films door and explore a whole different genre. I need much help through my adventure as I have absolutely no. idea. what. I'm. doing.
So! I'll send you a PM tomorrow and I hope to keep in contact with ya' about digging deeper into these exciting films

Well that may be a little confusing as Bright Leaves is a documentory that was done that does show some Bright Leaf footage and is readily available on dvd but the official title for the movie that is not out on DVD, VHS tape or shown on TV is called "Bright Leaf".
Ooops; pardon me, I meant "Bright Leaf"
lol, I always get the two confused; they're both so darn similiar in wording!
-
would not leave off Bright Leaf as a darker type of film that is very underated as well as Garden of Evil, but Man of West is my favorite Mann film and I do have all of the Jimmy Stewart Mann westerns on dvd as well as all of Stewart's other westerns. Of course I do favor Gary over Stewart but he is in my top ten list for favorite actors probably around number 6.
I was gonna put in Bright Leaf but I didn't want to overwhelm him; and Garden of Evil I haven't been able to see because the first 25 minutes were cut off so I'm waiting to see it on TCM.

I'm glad you liked the video! Hey I was perusing ebay this morning (a very dangerous thing for me b/c I have no willpower - ha!) and I found an ad for spark plugs with a pic of Slim Talbot and OH MY GOSH, the resemblance between him and Gary is uncanny!!!!!!!! He looks more like he could be Gary's brother than his own brother did.
YIKES! I saw that a long time ago and I showed it to my mom and she thought I was trying to trick her; I was like, "mom this is NOT Gary!!" She walked away and still, to this day, doesn't believe me, lol.
