Movie Reviews of Along Came Jones
Movie Review: Cooper was Hollywood's greatest simpleton.
Summary: 3 Stars
Too bad they didnt give him any material to work with in this turkey.Cooper plays a dimwitted cowpoke (not much of a stretch) mistaken for a notorious outlaw. Some light moments, but no humor. Actually, about the only highlight here is a gorgeous Loretta Young as the outlaw's reluctant girlfriend. OK, I'm out of compliments.
An interesting but overlong diversion, only for huge fans of the genre, or Gary Cooper.
Movie Review: Gary Cooper
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a Gary Cooper fan, enjoy all his movies as I see them, but do not think this is one of his better movies.Movie Review: Poor Film - Very Flat
Summary: 2 Stars
This is just about as flat a film as you could make. The premise was the old mistaken identity one - a regular cowpoke is mistaken for a violent killer. Given a quality director and a MUCH better script something might have been made of this. Frankly the actors appear to be standing around waiting for someone to tell them what to do next. The Annie get your gun stuff trotted out at the finish seems not so much perdictable, as convenient. Very disappointing.
Loretta Young deserves far better on DVD - despite all the problems and the B budget look of the picture she's an A star, at times, ravishing with a Kelly LeBrock sultriness to her eyes. (Of course Young could also act.)
When will those perverse Gods in the film industry release some of her best films - such as The Farmer's Daughter? I mean she did win the Academy Award - how hard can it be to sell it? Why issue the bad and not the good? This sort of bungled mess does no ones reputation any good.
Movie Review: Along Came Jones -For A bit Too Long
Summary: 2 Stars
Great premise, poorly delivered.
Gary Cooper and his entire cast (excluding the horses) were guilty
of over acting in this whimsical tale of mistaken identity
and the trouble that can develop- exploiting it.
This film could almost be characterized as a stepping stone for
Gary Cooper's lighter comedic delivery in another obscure
(but better film) The Saratoga Trunk co starring Ingrid Bergman.
