Cooper was helped by having gotten his face lifted prior to the film - the reviews of Love in the Afternoon prompted that. His widow later married the surgeon who performed the operation. Although neither had the boxoffice clout, either Robert Ryan or Richard Widmark would have been preferable as someone with a dark past. At least dark as this film would have it - Cooper did a fine job in his last western feature, The Hanging Tree as a man of...

Good points, Hal And note in my original post I said 'militant' feminists, and not feminazi! "Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... .."

But didn't they call it The Best Of Everything back then? "Dogs look up to you, cats look down at you but pigs treat you as equals"

This thread is doing the very thing it discourages by asking posters to i.d. films with surprises waiting in them. Mum's the word, all you fans who have seen movies with twists! Speaking of surprises, Charles M. Schulz will be surprised to find he's been leaving the 't' out of his name all this time! I remember when 'Psycho' was first released all the print ads had the blurb "No one will be seated for the...

Thanks for those Trev. I had some cloudy focus moments on my DVD of Naked Spur, which is the WB release in the Signature Collection for Jimmy. Shame, doesn`t detract from the quality of the film, but you would think a truly pristine tranfer of this could be done? Spike "A lot of undisciplined, half witted, ulacabuchas"

You just described George Lucas' wet dream..... Can't say that I'm crazy about this type of idea and I'm sure I'm not alone. But surely it will happen. Some films like "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" have already experimented with it. But I'll go ahead and say something controversial -- the problem with replacing actors with machines is that 99% of actors might as well be machines anyway....

Ann Hathaway. In a Forties hair-bob and the right dress she could be right out of the past. .

So at a knock, I emptied my cage, to hide in the world...and alter with age

Lovely film that may indeed be the best yet from Vietnam. (It's certainly better than anything I've seen by Anh Hung Tran!) Though it won't be making my list, I am grateful for the chance to see it. BTW, any chance Gomez's Strange Voyage will ever be uploaded to YouTube. I'd love to see it, but the file you directed me to won't play on my computer.

I think the movie would have been much better with: Stewart not Cooper Walter Brennan not Lee J. Cobb Any likable comic actor not Arthur O'Connell Of course, that's NOT the movie. Based on "Man of the West" and other Mann movies Post-Stewart, I think the breakup hurt Mann more than Stewart. P.S. I was actually glad to see the A.C. character go - I found him so unlikable. I think the character was meant to be a...
