So-o-o-o ...
The "panel discussion" with Maria Cooper Janis on Friday night was a let-down. Nothing I didn't already know, and most of the discussion was about "High Noon."
But I am very glad I had the opportunity to see this film on a big screen. Coop was unbelievably yummy. Don't even know where to start: those eyes, those lips, that cute tush.
Coop doesn't do it for me. But there's a few frames of Mr Deeds goes to Town (an irritating movie) where I had to do a double take. In his youth he was strikingly handsome.
shareYou're in luck then--he made a lot of films in his "youth." I recommend "Desire" (made the same year as "Deeds"--1936), "A Farewell to Arms" (1932), "Design for Living" (1933), and "Moroco" (1930). He was "striking" in all of those, IMO. Of course, I'm a straight guy so what do I know.
Fighting for Truth, Justice, and making it the American way.
