Senta Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Angie, Great finds. I like the first FHTBT mostly. The photos from Virginian is all by one photographer Richee. I like these studio photos with shadows on the wall. They appeire at e-bay from time to time. Recently I lost one, now - one original at last. It is said that these are from Mary Brian estate. I had two bad copies from this Virginian serie before. They are not good quality but I love the images. When I fix driver to my scaner at home I shall try to post them here. here is another still at e-bay right now. and this I definetly want. One of my favorite movies.

Senta Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm little late, but may I wish happy 4th of July to all American friends! It is strange that only yesterday I thought that the stills from Fuontainhead are very rare on e-bay and here you see a whole bunch of them.

MissGoddess Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I love the pictures from The Fountainhead! This is one of the movies where he looks his most attractive and, of course, there is so much palpable chemistry between him and Pat. I'd love to have any one of those but the one I like best is the one where she's grovelling at his feet, ha! The usual state he reduces us to.

coopsgirl Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 *The Fountainhead* is definitely one of his sexiest movies. *the one I like best is the one where she's grovelling at his feet, ha! The usual state he reduces us to.* So true! In the dream I had where we were having an affair and he tried to break it off, I grabbed onto his coat and was begging him not to leave me . In the end he gave in and said he'd get a divorce b/c he loved me and didn't really want to leave me. Only in my dreams :x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopsgirl Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 More beautiful pics! I just won a couple more old movie mags from ebay and I can?t wait to get them. This one is from ?39 and has articles about *Beau Geste* and *The Wizard of Oz*. This one is from ?32 and has an article about Gary titled ?I?m through being bossed?. This was the year he reworked his contract at Paramount so I?m guessing that?s what the article is about. It also has colorized pics of Gary and Clara Bow and an article about *A Farewell to Arms* .

Senta Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 What I'm wondering about is why when you post pics they are one Under another and when I put them here they are in all the space? Sorry to post pick with watermarks. Simply can understand these dealers who puts watermarks which is ruining the image. Are they really thinking that sombody can print copies from their poor scans or they are just greedy and don't want to allow people to keep electronic version even. But I like these images anyway. Can't afford myself to buy them right now, so may be you will be more lucky. On the set of Love in the Afternoon with Mel Ferrer and Audry Hepburn. Havent seen this before. What a beautiful hand!

Senta Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi Angie, Glad for you. As for myself I became crazy these days (I'm always crazy about Gary but these days was even more then that). And I bought a great number of beautiful Gary's photos. Some are rather expencive and originlal. 2 from Virginian set which I posted a while ago (where Gary is in the black schirt). I simply can't get away from these images. I send best offer - it was accepted and so here I am - free, happy and pennyless. So I fully understand that you can't wait until you receive your mags - I feel the same about photos - I had to wit at least 3 weeks until they came here and worry that they might be lost. Regards, Vera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senta Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Just to encourage you more towards Mary Deare. I love this movie very much it is moody and exiting. The book is very interesting too. Quite different from the movie in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsgirl Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I just can?t resist those old magazine and if they have anything about Gary or Clara Bow, I?m likely to bid on them. My faves are from the 20s and 30s. I love getting the ones about Gary when he was still pretty early in his career b/c it?s neat to read what they wrote about him before he was a huge star. I remember reading in one of them where the person writing the article said something like ?he should really go far in Hollywood?, they were right too . I?m glad you got those *Virginian* pics. I hate it too when they put watermarks on them. I love that pic from *Mary Deare* and I set it as the pic on my computer today. He?s so cute all covered in coal dust :x. That is a very good one and you should enjoy it TripleHHH. Gary and Charlton Heston both did their own scuba diving in it so that?s really them in those scenes.

coopsgirl Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I was watching *Garden of Evil* again this weekend and it hit me that his character in this one is a lot like Will Kane. I think they should have called this one *Garden of Evil: The Further Adventures of Will Kane* . In the beginning Richard Widmark tells him that someone on the boat they were on thought they recognized him from Texas and since we don?t know where *High Noon* was set, it?s possible it could have been in Texas. Gary also says that he used to be a sheriff. So here?s what I think happened. He and Amy ride off into the sunset but it?s not happily ever after for them. She had to go against her principles and kill a man and also he has to deal with the fact that she nearly ran out on him. This probably caused friction in their marriage and they got divorced. Then instead of hanging around in the civilized Eastern town where they lived, he packs up and moves on. Eventually he decides to go to the gold fields and that?s when he ends up on the boat we see at the beginning of the movie. Just like Will, he can?t turn someone away who needs help so he decides to go with Susan?s character and help her husband. He watches out for everybody on their journey just like he watched over the people in Hadleyville. He falls for Susan and she?s more like Helen Ramirez than Amy. She?s strong and independent and maybe he?s thinking that?s the kind of woman he should be with. It?s too late to go back to Helen so he ends up with Susan?s character instead. Well, that?s what I imagine happened anyway . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senta Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 We are thinking that he will divorce Amy becouse he was so desperate in High Noon, that we simply can't belive in his happiness with woman who once betraid him. To my opinion principles or no principles you can't leave your huband like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsgirl Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I just can?t see the marriage between Will and Amy lasting. He thought she was what he wanted but I think he saw her true self (immature and somewhat selfish) and I can imagine that after a while they probably grew apart and got divorced. On the other hand, I can imagine Amy not being happy with Will b/c she wants a settled down ?store owner? for a husband and that?s just not who he is. Also I would think they?d always have it in the back of their minds what happened that day and would have a hard time getting over it. He felt betrayed by her even though she came back and she probably felt betrayed by him b/c he felt a greater obligation to the townspeople than to his own wife. I just don?t see a happy marriage with all that baggage. I think it fit perfectly for the movie to have her character leave him (it makes it much more dramatic b/c now everyone has deserted him) but if it was real life, she should have at least agreed to wait and see what happens. I can see at first her threatening to leave him in hopes that she could convince him to run away with her b/c she?s worried about him getting killed. But once she saw that he wasn?t gonna back down, she should have given in and said that she would wait for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senta Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I agree with all your points. I'm trying to put my scanner at work, got driver from Internet, but it didn't work with it too. I bacame madder and madder at him. Must have a little break and then start to torture it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFavell Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I agree. I could see it being a cold marriage at best... Maybe they stayed together but never talked about it, and then slowly just didn't talk at all. More likely she left him, she did it before..... The pics I like best are about polar opposites- the one from "Marco Polo" in which Gary's face is sooo very smooth and dimpled, and then the one from "Mary Deare" in which he is all scruffy and tousled....

TripleHHH Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 We shall see....its in queue on Netflix... I still cant over Boris Karloff as an Indian in Unconquered...that was priceless ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Marvelous pictures, ladies. My favorite is the one from The Wreck of the Mary Deare. He really looks like he's concentrating on that chart. You all will soon have the biggest Gary Cooper memorabilia collections around! Maybe you should open a museum one day. Every other star seems to have one.

coopsgirl Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Somehow I knew you would like that one . I had another dream about him the other night like he looked in that one. We weren't a couple though so don't get your dander up - ha! We were just friends and we were going with a group of other friends to an Elvis concert. We were waiting outside to get in and were just standing around talking. I think we were talking about hunting but I don't remember any specifics.

butterscotchgreer Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i think senta and ang are right about amy and will's relationship. i just couldnt see their marriage lasting their whole lives. especially with amy's selvish ways, even though they are small selfish ways, they would probably grow in years going, and she just doesnt strike me as the girl who would do anything for her husband. correct me if im wrong, but when two people get married, shouldnt they sacrifice things for each other? she strieks me as the kind who wants everything dione her way, amnd if it doesnt ghappen that way, she complains or threatens to leave him. to me, she just isnt a very great character....then again at the end of the movie she did pick up the ghun and shoot the bad guy for her love. hmm. i guess i should take that itno the consideration, but then again it still all comes down to her being selfish. in a good marriage, one cant be selfish.

coopsgirl Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 *You all will soon have the biggest Gary Cooper memorabilia collections around! Maybe you should open a museum one day.* My livingroom is like a little shrine to him with all the movie stills, reproduction movies posters, old movie mags and books I have. I'm running out of room for stuff yet I keep buying more. It's a compelsion as Barney Fife would say . At least some of it does have either other people with him i the pics or different people on the covers on the movie mags. If it was just his face splashed all over everything, people might think I was crazy . I'm out of room for movies too as I have filled up 4 bookcases with 3 shelves in each one. I'm gonna buy some bigger ones here pretty soon and I've already been rearranging furniture and stuff to make room for them. Speaking of new furniture, I have always wanted a chaise lounge, ever since I was a kid and the other day when my stepdad was coming in from work in the morning he saw that our neighbors down the street were having a garage sale and they had one of those outside. They are interior decorators and love antiques and they said they got it from an estate sale and that it originally came from the governor's mansion. They are moving and just didn't want to take it with them. It's beautiful and in real good shape and he only had to pay $30 for it!! I don't know how old it is though but you can tell it was very well made. The wooden legs need to be refinished but we can do that ourselves and we're gonna take it somewhere and get it reupholstered too. I was so surprised when I came downstairs and saw it there. It's stuff with goose down and is very comfy and just my size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
