OK, Who's An Older College Boy: Cooper Or Stewart?

posted 9 years ago by mail-2217

The only thing that totally takes me out of this movie is Cooper playing 'college boy'. That guy -never- looked a day under 35. Even when he was like 15.

Same with Jimmy Stewart in a couple o' movies (the Lindbergh one especially).

They really pushed the envelope back then.

Good movie, though.

Nobody could play embarrassed rage like ol' Coop.

Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement... Listen, kid, we're all in it together.
