From 1936 to 1957, Gary Cooper was consistently among Hollywood"s top 10 box office draws, most often portraying the ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. In a recent American Film Institute poll (100 Years...100 Stars), Cooper placed # 11 among male actors, ahead of John Wayne, Laurence Olivier, and James Dean. This collection features 5 DVD debuts, including one of his essential films (Sergeant York - for which, Cooper won his first Best Actor Oscar), plus Dallas, The Fountainhead, Springfield Rifle, and The Wreck Of The Mary Deare. Turner Classic Movies channel continues to feature Cooper"s films and will probably promote the set on release.
