Along Came Jones

[Miss Retro]

Gary Cooper added "producer" alongside "star" on his resume with this light-hearted Western about a mild-mannered cowboy (Cooper) who drifts into a small town with his sidekick (William Demarest). Naturally, he's mistaken for a notorious highway robber (Dan Duryea), although he can barely handle a gun. His impersonation of the menacing gunman falls apart when his skills are put to the test, and he faces certain doom when challenged by the returning gunman himself. In the end, however, our hero defeats the villain and even ends up with his girl (Loretta Young). A send-up of both Western clich÷Ÿand Cooper's own heroic persona, Along Came Jones is brisk, amusing entertainment. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

I don't know why, but this was one of my least favorite movie of his.

I know it's supposed to be light-hearted and funny, but he seemed like a "wimp" in this movie; even though he produced it, I mean, it was still good, but nothing like what he's capable of.

That's what I based my "1800's" adventure off of, but then after seeing more movies I was like, "woah...he's kinda icky in this one"

lol, Oh well, he's still cute

Strange thing happened with me lately. When I watched it first I don't think it would become one of my favorites at all. But I simply can't go away from it. Watch it over and over again.
