In Reply to: Funny...every time I think of Cooper playing Howard....I laugh to myself... posted by TWB on November 20, 2006 at 04:38:10:
taciturn, "aw shucks" characters truly was acting: he was known as a good raconteur and one of Hollywoods best dressers and womanizers, quite the equal of his competitors in those fields, Errol Flynn and Cary Grant.
"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Gunga Din," and "High Noon" underscore his successes in playing quite different characters.
What actor today could bring to such vivid life the iconic bravery of the sheriff in "High Noon?"
Cooper came to this versatility naturally: his father owned and worked a six-hundred acre ranch in Montana and Gary also spent many years, as a boy, at school in England.
Follow Ups:
of that movie ALL wrong...and it really should be remade today....Cooper had success as an actor... High Noon being a good example...but he like Bogart was a personality...NOT an an actor in the vein of a Tracy or Olivier....
High Noon is his best. No doubt. But if you look at his face you will see his mimic, and that is VERY limited.
BTW I love him and have even read an autobiography of his life.Now as far as Gunga Din...It was Cary Grant...
I love him at best in Capra´s work and Wilder´s...
