The Westerner, Mars 22 2009
A very young Gary Cooper plays his usual understated hero role the way only Cooper can. In this role he adds a touch of rascality to the character which is unusual for him and makes his character all the more human. Walter Brennan puts on a wonderful performance as the scoundrel Judge Roy Bean. Forest Tucker is in here too in a support role. A good 'old style' Western. If you like 'em you can't really go wrong with Gary Cooper. I recommend it.

"Gary Cooper Series ... The Westerner (1940) ... United Artists", Sep 23 2008
United Artists presents "THE WESTERNER" (20 September 1940) (100 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) -- Our story line and plot, If you like westerns, you'll love William Wyler's "The Westerner" -- great directing and superb acting, and gorgeous cinematography --- Cole Hardin (Gary Cooper) just doesn't look like a horse thief, Jane-Ellen Matthews (Doris Davenport) tells Judge Roy Bean (Walter Brennan) as she steps up to the bar --- Cole says he can't take it with him as he empties all of his coins on the bar to buy drinks for the jury --- Cooper notices two big pictures of Lily Langtry behind the bar --- Sure, Cole has met the Jersey Lily, whom the hanging judge adores, even has a lock of her hair --- Hanging is delayed for two weeks, giving Cole time to get in the middle of a range war between cattlemen and homesteaders and to still be around when Lily Langtry, former mistress of Edward VII who became an international actress, arrives in Texas --- Great to see some of my favorite B-Western character actors in the cast Dana Andrews, Stanley Andrews, Hank Bell, Forrest Tucker, Tom Tyler and Chill Wills --- Wyler's directing and Toland's shooting of the prairie fire sequence is one of the great spectacles of 1930s cinema, as well as an incredibly exciting scene --- Walter Brennan won his third Best Supporting Actor Oscar with this film. This was the fifth year the Supporting Player categories were being awarded by the Academy and Brennan won numbers one and three previously --- What makes the film even better is that it is based on a person who actually lived, which made the role even more challenging --- Walter Brennan carries this oater and transforms what would have otherwise been just another western into a classic.

Cooper cracks necks with the best of em', Déc 18 2002
The Westerner is simply one of the best westerns ever made. It has all of the elements of the genre, the lonesome drifter (Cooper), the half-evil judge (Brennan as Judge Roy Bean), the "searching-for-a-real-man" women, the gang of thug rustlers (played by a gang of various thugs), the wimpy farmers (played by a bunch of wimpy farmers), the raunchy bar-room singer (played by a lock of golden hair), and the climatic shoot-out (Cooper versus Brennan). The scenes that steal the movie are those in which Cooper kindly agress to gently crack Judge Roy Beans stiff neck with a quick twist. You can hear the pops and also feel the relief as you watch.

One of the greatest movies of all time!, Déc 15 2001
This movie has everything: humor, history, adventure, great acting, and a terrific story. No actor today has more appeal than Cooper. Tom Cruise? Pshaw--a star manque. Coop was afraid Brennan would steal every scene; in fact they work quite well together. This is Coop before High Noon, another classic.

A Great Western, Déc 9 2001
The Coop is fine as a lawman who goes undercover to capture Judge Bean. I think this movie shows fine acting, especially Walter Brennan, and writing. I have this movie and watch it about twice a year. I think it is a nice movie to watch with a male buddy who likes westerns. Curl up with a carton of popcorn and a soda and lose yourself in the old west.

This Thing's Magnificent!, Mai 25 2000
Par Un client
I Can't tell you how delighted I was with this film. Easily Brennon's best effort (he's practically the leading man here) and Gary Cooper is brilliant as usual. Especially like how the writers don't hit you over the head with obvious jokes, opting instead for subltey. By gobs this film is wonderful EVERYTIME I watch it. If you haven't seen it I highly recomend you buy yerself a copy! Now GET OUTTA MY BAR!

Brennan,s Oscar, Mai 21 2000
Peerless western with Cooper and Brennan dueling verbally and having a good time.Tongue in Check dialogue adds to the show: Charles Halton walks into the bar in black Cooper says to Brennan "who,s that?" Brennan says " Oh thats Mort....he cleans UP around here.Paul Hurst does his shaggy cowpoke routine and the rest of the cast are real characters. Walter Brennan got one of his three Oscars for this one.
