The Films of Gary Cooper

I bought the"Films of Gary Cooper" some 30 years ago and still enjoy reading it. However, I find that Mr. Dickens underrated, at least in my eyes and more recent reviews, two of his finest films. Those are "Man of the West" and "They came to Cordura". Whereas, Mr. Dickens thought they should be relegated to that movie boneyard in the sky more recent consideration and mine too, consider them to be very good films. Aside from this, I highly recommend this book. I would not part with my copy. It is, in most respects, a very good review of Gary Cooper's movies.

I bought this book in the fall of 1975 and after nearly 25 years, still find it hard to put down once I pick it up.

Read this book some 20 years ago. Found it rare among this series in that -- A), it was at times critical of both Cooper and some of his films; and B), it was filled with both positive and negatives from critics at the time of each film's release. As I said, rare for this series. Recently went to purchase it for a friend, and found out it is unavavilable? Why!?!
