Why I watched this one? Mr. Gary Cooper. Cooper was one of the biggest stars for over 30 years....yet his movies do not have much of a following these days.
What is this one about? Cooper is a writer....he leaves New York City when he is broke and in a creative rut. He moves to the country and falls in love with a Polish immigrant. The bad news is Cooper is already married and the girl is engaged to Ralph Bellamy.
My thoughts on this one? I read some comments on IMDb saying this might be Cooper's worst movie. According to my Cooper Cogerson Movie Score page this one is ranked 60th of 65 movies. cogersonmoviescore.com/gary-cooper-movies-best-to-worst.html
So is the movie really that bad? Well it is certainly not one of Cooper's better movies....but I think it falls pretty close to an average movie. The story is very predictable....although the ending is somewhat surprising. The acting is ok. Cooper does a good job playing Gary Cooper. Final thought: A pretty standard movie....that gives us Cooper but not much else. For Cooper fans only.
