exclusively for coop lover and though clint eastwood very strong though unobtrusive presence be a great asset of this very good documentary film . it be a biography of gary cooper and base mainly on his filmography and but also on more private archive and which show him a a child and a a young man and a a family man and with some of his friend ( picasso and hemingway and etc . ) and a an old man and finally a a sick and close to death man . after the end and i do not have the feeling that i know the man any much well . but i have spend a very good moment and re view many of the best moment of his movie while and my respect for the very talented actor and great professional be increase tenfold . the film show and most interestingly and how the career of cooper can be parallel with the evolution of usa society before and after ww2 . two of the great moment be the time when cooper have to answer justice about communism in the movie world while and when james stewart ( a very great one and too ) receive an award for cooper one month before his death . i be not a weeping pot and but . that be a close one . watch it and if you can represent it be so much worth while . . if you love cooper and that be . or an old america .
