HollywoodGolightly Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 This is also in the "Upcoming Releases" thread of the DVD forum, but for anyone who doesn't read it regularly, here it is again: Warner Bros. also continues to work actively on *The Hanging Tree* (1959, with Gary Cooper). There is much more work to do on the photochemical restoration for the original elements, but the results should be worth the wait. A pressed DVD release is currently planned, but no release timing has yet been set. Hopefully, it might be ready in 2010! And in other Coop-related news, the Fox Movie Channel has scheduled *Ten North Frederick* (1958) for _Saturday, Oct. 17th_ at 6am Eastern. Link to post Share on other sites
brandoalways4ever Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 It amazes me how popular this post still is. It makes me happy!!!! Coop has one of THE best bodies ever. I think Coop is just as popular as Cray Grant and Clark Gable. I've known about all three since I was a kid. Link to post Share on other sites
coopsgirl Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for the reminder about *Ten North Frederick*. I'll record it just in the hopes that it actually is the widescreen version and not the pan and scan one they have shown in the past. Here's one I colorized. Not sure if I posted it here or not. Sgt.

coopsgirl Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I made a new video. I say this about all of them but it's my new fave. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Gosh, Angie, that was beautiful!!! It made me tear up, too....I love these videos you do. I like that you used some movies that aren't as well known (Desire, The Real Glory...) Wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites
coopsgirl Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks! That song is a few years old and I usually listen to my mp3 player in the car but it's been on the fritz so I've been listening to some old cd's and that song came up and I had forgotten about it and it instantly made me think of Gary. It's like she's singing from the fan perspective and I thought it would make a good video. I tried to use some clips I haven't used before and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It makes me tear up a little too. Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It is raining here, a sad autumn day, with the wind swirling the leaves around, and the rain softly pattering on the window. It was a perfect day to watch *Love in the Afternoon* ..... (choke) and so I was teary eyed, with the song Fascination rolling around in my head. I came here to write down my melancholy feelings, and I find your video. I guess I'm susceptible..... because now I am flat out crying. That was so beautiful, coopsgirl. I wish I had one tenth of your talent. Edited by: JackFavell on Oct 18, 2009 4:00 PM Link to post Share on other sites
coopsgirl Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It's a beautiful day here and I am worn out from doing some yard work. I hardly ever even go outside but I was putting out Halloween decorations and just started pulling up some weeds and soon my mom and I were knee deep in yard work . It looks nice though. I had a feeling this video would get to people b/c the song is so sadly beautiful. I don't want to make people cry , but I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the wonderful compliment. I have a beautiful version with words of Fascination from a cd Theresa gave me and I'm gonna make a video to that one too. It's an even more beautiful song with words.

CineMaven Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 We talked about "HIGH NOON" a coupla pages back, and I've just finished watching a commer- cial on TCM, where in tribute to Grace Kelly heralding her turn as "Star of the Month" the voice-over was done by her son, Prince Albert. It was such a lovely and touching tribute by a son of his mother: "It was difficult in the years after my mother's passing, to watch her wonderful films...not just because I missed her, but because when she introduced them to me she was seated right next to me, often ex- plaining what the scenes were all about or how she had felt while making them. So when I revisit her films, I don't only see the moving image of my mother, but I welcome the memory of her affectionate presence, her loving words spoken softly to me a rapt audience of one." As I watched the clips they showed, I see that Grace Kelly worked with the creme de la creme of Hollywood's leading men in the fifties. And I kind of gasped when I saw all these men in one fell swoop. I thought to myself, "Dang this girl was the luckiest girl in Hollywood. They just handed her leading men on a silver platter. She had 'em all!" But then I thought and I thought and I searched in the crevices of my movie-lovin' mind, and I realized that there was only one other actress who came to close to matching Grace Kelly in that gorgeous hunk o' leading man sweepstakes. Now Audrey Hepburn worked with only two: Gary and Cary. Ingrid Bergman only worked with two: Cary and Gary. And Barbara Stanwyck worked with three of them: Gary, Gable and Bill Holden. But d'ya know who matched Grace Kelly almost step-for-step in working with these giants? One of my absolute favorite actresses: DEBORAH KERR (who died two years ago this month). See the tale of the tape, first with Grace Kelly, then with Deborah Kerr. I think the only leading man Grace didn't get was Gregory Peck and Deborah did and conversely Grace got to work with Jimmy Stewart...and Deborah did not: GARY COOPER: "High Noon" "The Naked Edge" CLARK GABLE: "Mogambo" "The Hucksters" CARY GRANT: "To Catch a Thief" "An Affair to Remember" STEWART GRANGER: "Green Fire" "King Solomon's Mines" WILLIAM HOLDEN: "The Country Girl" "The Proud and the Profane" FRANK SINATRA: "High Society" "From Here to Eternity" JAMES STEWART: "Rear Window" "-------" GREGORY PECK: "--------" "Beloved Infidel" Imagine kissing all those gorgeous men. Nice work if you can get it. Link to post Share on other sites
coopsgirl Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 That is interesting that those two worked with so many major stars. With Deborah I can understand b/c she could actually act but I'll just never get it with Grace. I'm sure she was a lovely person and as a regular person/princess, I have a somewhat favorable opinion of her, but not as an actress . *Imagine kissing all those gorgeous men. Nice work if you can get it.* In Grace's case, it often went beyond kissing! Link to post Share on other sites

CoopfanDan Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi all. I'm back. I was working sometimes close to 80 hours a week but quit my old job last week and now I'm only doing 40 again. I am right on any Gary Cooper movie that get's released on Blu-ray. High Noon will probably be the first although if WB is spending a bunch of money to restore The Hanging Tree, I think it would be smart for them to release that one on DVD and Blu-ray. High Noon looked incredable on the last DVD that was released. It will only look better on Blu-ray. I thought It's a Wonderful life was fantastic looking on the last dvd release but I'm already on pre-order for the Blu-ray for that one that get's released next week with North by Northwest. I think the better a movie looks on regular dvd the better it will look on Blu-ray. I hope they start releasing Gary Cooper Link to post Share on other sites
coopsgirl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 More great news on the Gary dvd front. It was rumored back in the early summer that another major studio was going to go the burn on demand route like Warner's and it was just announced by TCM that they are partnering up with Universal for a similar venture. I was hoping it would be them and I'm so excited I'm about to bust!!!!!!!! One of their first releases with be a Cary Grant boxset (titles will also be availabe individually) and one of them is The Devil and The Deep starring Gary and Tallulah Bankhead. The copy circulating around is pretty bad and I can't wait until January to get it!! It looks like they are the same price as WB's at $20 a pop. That's pricey for one dvd but I'm willing to pay it for films I really want. I'm kinda surprised though that their prices aren't lower than WB to give them ever more competition. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/294403/universal-and-tcm-s-partnership-for-made-to-order-dvd Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 That is really exciting, Angie! Finally, the rarer titles are getting the treatment. And I see that these DVDs will have supplemental materials...that may be why they are at the same price point---the WB on-demand DVDs usually only have a trailer. Link to post Share on other sites
