Coop was always one of my favorite Western actors; "High Noon" will always be one of my favorite movies...it's just classic. My favorite Gary Cooper Western was "The Westerner", with Walter Brennen as Judge Roy Bean. Then there was "Vera Cruz", "Man of the West", "Dallas" and "The Hanging Tree", all great and very underrated movies. I always liked it when he played characters with a sense of humor, as in "Dallas', "The Westerner", "Vera Cruz", and of course "Along Came Jones". He had a great knack for comedy.
