HollywoodGolightly Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I don't know how many of you had the chance to watch If I Had a Million last night - I was very encouraged by the fact that the movie opened with the modern Universal logo, which might mean that the movie has been remastered and prepared for a possible video release sometime soon - maybe even through the TCM Archive.

coopsgirl Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 There was a new book recently released about Gary by David Thomson called *Gary Cooper*. I just wanted to let everyone know not to waste your money on it. A friend of mine just got through reading it and she said it was very poorly written and the author actually used the ?f? word in describing some of his affairs which to me is very inappropriate and also just not very professional. It seems this book also follows the standard pattern I?ve found in most books about him; they compliment him in one sentence and insult him in the next. There are some pictures in it but she said they weren?t any new ones, just the same ones we?ve seen before so I?d save your money and time. Also *The Devil and The Deep* dvd?s release date has been changed to February 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxreyman Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 My wife Annie and I just watched 1949's The Fountainhead last night. Wonderful performance by all three headliners, Coop, Neal and Massey. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. One of my all-time favorite Cooper films.

coopsgirl Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I used my birthday money to get some neat Gary stuff at an antique store. I got hardback copies of Zane Grey's *Fighting Caravans* and *Nevada* that were reprints from the 60s and a 1901 silver dollar. Theresa also got me a lobby card from *Cloak and Dagger* and a Yugoslavian mag with Gary on the cover. She got me an awesome pic of Clara Bow too from the 30s that was one that Paramount would have sent out to fans when they requested pics. It's so cool!!!

JackFavell Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 That sounds awesome, especially the lobby card and the Clara publicity photo.... I was wondering if you got yourself all dolled up a la Miss Clara....which look did you go for? Day.... or Evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelluloidKid Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Don;t forget: Mar 02, 2010 _Alice's Adventures in Wonderland_ comes to DVD W./ Gary Cooper as the White Knight!!!! The 1933 film version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was an all-star Paramount Pictures undertaking. It is mostly live-action, except for The Walrus and The Carpenter, which was animated by Max Fleischer's studio. Stars featured in the film included Charlotte Henry as Alice, W. C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty, Edna May Oliver as the Red Queen, Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, Gary Cooper as the White Knight, Edward Everett Horton as The Mad Hatter, Charles Ruggles as the March Hare, and Baby LeRoy as The Joker. *_One of the most wonderful oddities in all Depression-era cinema_ is this Lewis Carroll adaptation that served to unite a plethora of top stars and comic talents under contract at Paramount Pictures. The cast includes Cary Grant (The Mock Turtle), W.C. Fields (Humpty Dumpty), Gary Cooper (The White Knight), plus Charlie Ruggles, Alison Skipworth, Jack Oakie, Edward Everett Horton, and young Charlotte Henry as Alice. Plus, some surprise short subjects!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollywoodGolightly Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I watched the Paramount version of Alice in Wonderland and enjoyed it quite a bit (and posted more extensively in the "Alice" thread in the Films and Filmmakers forum). Coop really is kinda endearing as the White Knight, playing obviously a bit older than he was at the time, but generally managing to find the right whimsical tone that his scene required. It's a great thing that the movie has now received an official DVD release, because I'm sure every Coop fan will want to add it to their collection.
