Sergeant York (Two-Disc Special Edition)
 Story of World War I hero who captured German position single-handedly. Film also portrays York’s earlier life in the mountains of Tennessee.Gary Cooper plays Alvin York, the real-life country lad and sharpshooter drafted to fight during World War I but blocked from killing by his pacifist sentiments. Howard Hawks makes a rousing, heroic film out of the tale, and Cooper gives one of his best performances (for which he won an Oscar). The 1941 feature seems as much a valentine to wartime America (and a not-so-subtle piece of propaganda) as anything, with Hawks capturing splendidly shot scenes of life in York’s home state of Tennessee, which in turn provide a striking contrast to the battlefield. A key scene in the film, in which York is presented with an argument in favor of killing in war, is still thought provoking. –Tom Keogh

 Two-time Oscar winner Gary Cooper perfected his portrayal of the strong, silent type through decades of work in Hollywood. This set includes four classic films featuring the iconic actor. THE COWBOY AND THE LADY: In this entertaining romantic comedy, a rodeo rider named Stretch, played with ample charm by Gary Cooper, falls in love with a cunning bored aristocrat named Mary Smith (Merle Oberon). After having convinced the two maids from her house to keep her secret, Mary drags them on a girls’ night out, meets Stretch, and tells him that she is a parlor maid who has run away from home to escape her father’s beatings. In reality, Mary has gone under cover hoping to outwit her father, a wealthy presidential candidate. Henry Kolker is formidable as Mary’s father, Horace, and one actually likes him enough to hope he doesn’t discover his daughter’s charade. Without letting Stretch know her true identity, Mary eventually convinces him to elope aboard a ship where even more humorous confusion transpires. H.C.Potter directs and keeps the duel story line tight. Leo McCarey co-wrote the story and the lively screenplay boasts contributions from Anita Loos and Dorothy Parker.THE REAL GLORY: An army medic solves all of the Philippines’ medical and military problems almost single-handedly after the devastation of the Spanish-American war.VERA CRUZ: In Robert Aldrich’s action-packed Western, Benjamin Trane (Gary Cooper) and Joe Erin (Burt Lancaster) are American soldiers of fortune hired by the Austrian ruler of Mexico, Maximilian, to safeguard a royal convoy transporting gold and an Austrian countess to the port of Vera Cruz. Things get complicated for the mercenaries when they begin to mistrust one another–and when Erin starts to fall for the countess. Aldrich throws a bit of European exotica into the standard oater formula of guns, grit, and gold to create a striking, memorable film that showcases the acting talents of Cooper and Lancaster, two monumental Hollywood stars. The director also sprinkles some trenchant historical commentary into his powder-keg narrative by showing the Hapsburg empire’s bumbling attempt to annex Mexico.THE WINNING OF BARBARA WORTH: This silent gem features Cooper and Ronald Colman (LOST HORIZON) in early starring roles. Cooper and Colman play a pair of engineers whose love for a landowner’s daughter pits them against each other. But when their engineering job falls through, the men must join forces to save their project and rescue their mutual love from an angry mob. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Re-release trailer for Howard Hawks’ the critically acclaimed biopic of World War I hero, Alvin York (1887-1964), starring Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie and Walter Brennan. York, a fundamentalist Christian whose exploits during the Muse Argonne Offensive earned him medals for valor from both France and the United States — including the Congressional Medal of Honor — had refused all offers to film his story, until, alarmed by the rise of facism and the proliferation of appeasement movement spearheaded by such prominent public figures as Charles Lindergh, he relented. The result is a superb motion picture that garnered nine Academy Award nominations — including Best Picture Director and Best Director. Gary Cooper won his first Best Actor Oscar for his heartfelt performance in a role for which he was personally selected by the real-life York.

Gary Cooper – The Signature Collection (Sergeant York / The Fountainhead / Dallas / Springfield Rifle / The Wreck of the Mary Deare)
Movie DVDSpringfield Rifle, one of five films included in this set, may miss the bullseye as a true Gary Cooper classic, but there’s a line that speaks to his enduring status as a screen icon and “American Legend.” In this 1952 Western, his follow-up film to High Noon, Cooper’s character has been drummed out of the army and branded a coward. Suffice to say that all is not what it seems, and an observer is asked how Coop will handle the pressure. The response: “He’ll stand up.” That is quintessential Cooper. He’s a stand-up guy, and the “dang swangest hero,” as he is hailed in Sergeant York, this collection’s calling card. Directed by Howard Hawks and co-written by John Huston, Sergeant York earned Cooper an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Alvin York, a Tennessee mountain hellraiser who finds religion after surviving a lightning strike. His newfound pacifist beliefs are put to the supreme test when he is forced to enlist in WWI. Cooper also displays the (Frank Lloyd) Wright stuff as architect Harold Roark in The Fountainhead (1949), adapted for the screen by Ayn Rand from her towering and controversial bestselling novel about a “fool visionary” who refuses to compromise his principles or conform his work to popular taste. The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959), his penultimate film, finds Cooper desperately trying to clear his name before an inquiry determines what really happened aboard the mysteriously abandoned eponymous ship. Costar Charlton Heston gives him a run for Most Piercing Blue Eyes honors. Last, and least, but still entertaining, is Dallas (1950), in which Cooper stars as a Confederate outlaw who impersonates a sheriff to settle an old score. Cooper is not the most chameleon-esque of actors, but in these representative films, he displays intriguing shadings to his heroic persona. Roark in The Fountainhead has a definite dark side, while his “Reb” Hollister in Dallas is something of a rascal.
Of the DVD presentations, Sergeant York gets the two-disc “Special Edition” treatment, with dry, but informative commentary by film historian Jeanne Basinger, a made-for-cable TV special about Cooper hosted by Clint Eastwood, and a welcome Warner Bros. cartoon, Tex Avery’s “Porky’s Preview” and short subject, “Lions for Sale,” that replicate an old fashioned night out at the movies. The Fountainhead DVD includes a featurette about the making of the film. Cooper stands alone among Hollywood’s leading men, but beyond his formidable presence, classic film buffs will bask in the nostalgic pleasures of Max Steiner’s music in four of the five films, and appearances by great character actors (Walter Brennan and George Tobias in Sergeant York, a young Richard Harris in Mary Deare). –Donald Liebenson

Gary Cooper Off Camera: A Daughter Remembers
Product Description
Maria Cooper Janis’ heartfelt book offers an unprecedented look at her father’s private side, from his Montana boyhood and his Hollywood home life, to his friendships with Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and Jimmy Stewart.Amazon.com Review
Gary Cooper off Camera is a tribute to a Hollywood star that manages to be sentimental, glossy, and passionate all at the same time. A fond introduction by Tom Hanks opens the book, but its multifaceted pleasures spring from the love of author Maria Cooper Janis, who clearly felt it was a unique and great privilege to be the daughter of Gary Cooper. Janis’s writing–from the loving letter to her father’s ghost to the text that accompanies the many photographs–is charged with filial warmth.
Though the book offers many glimpses of Cooper on the set, it also sheds light on sides of the actor that never appeared on screen: the family man, the sportsman, the host and guest who opened his affections to many Hollywood luminaries. It is these photographs that really make the book a delight. The camera has loved very few men as much as it did Cooper, and this collection captures the ease and joy of an American icon who in films often played awkward and alienated figures. Page after page of extraordinary black-and-white shots reveal the warm relationships Cooper had with his family, and with friends like Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Jimmy Stewart. This volume offers a tender view into a rare and fading kind of celebrity life, one that appears to have been somehow both glamorous and private. –Raphael Shargel
