#36: Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?
The boys are bringing you an Old Hollywood double bill featuring two films starring the inimitable screen presence Gary Cooper: King Vidor's fascinating adaptation of Ayn Rand's deranged conservative text The Fountainhead (1949) and Ernst Lubitsch's hilarious Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938). Gerry and Sammy discuss how these filmmakers use Cooper's specific persona and gravitas, Lubitsch's direction of Billy Wilder's biting screenplay, and the insanity of The Fountainhead's thesis on American individuality. Contains spoilers for both films.
