Tough Guy Gary Cooper Tamed By French Belle In An Early Western Talkie
In an early Gary Cooper "talkie" from 1931,the Coop is quite a cad in "The Fighting Caravans". In order to avoid jail time for a misdemeanor in town, he pretends to be married to a French belle, and hooks up with a wagon train headed West. Sparks fly between the two, but he's a tough scout and not one to be shackled to no woman! Slowly he begins to warm to her, but first must save the Wagons from an Indian attack. It's really nice and quite a treat to watch the wonderful facial expresiions of many of the actors who came from the silent era.

This film is also included in the Great American Western V.16, The with 3 other great films that have the tough guys and women theme. Included on that volume is "The Woman Of Town" (1944) with Claire Trevor ,a fabulous recently made documentary "Old West Cowboys", and , "The Proud and the Damned" with Chuck Conners - see my review of this DVD for film and dvd details.

Happy Trails....Laurie
