Fighting Caravans (1931) GARY COOPER🍕ZANE GREY

[@amycarmichael2748]

I love Gary Cooper!!!💘💘💘💘💘

[@barbedstar6480]

Wonderful movie. Great, huge mule hitches and true wagons. Costumes rag tag and fitting for that era and effort. Indian ponies without blanket covered saddles - ridden bareback! Superb character actors. And Gary Cooper a thin piece of rawhide that had every gals heart through his whole career!

[@particleboy3584]

Excellent quality transfer, so kudos on that first.... In addition, ... wow, what a great film! So textured with character and incident, so well photographed (especially for 1931!), should've been Gary Cooper's first Oscar-nomination. Also, he made 'Morocco' with Dietrich in the same year. Very enjoyable. First class! 😉

[@bonsummers2657]

This is great. More real than modern movies.

[@dennisfarabee5216]

I love a happy ending.

[@staatehayward7324]

Good old movie, lots of funnin' and laughs. I was surprised that I'd never heard of Lili Damita before. Did a little research half way through the movie. The wagons and gear used were a history lesson, they may have actually been made back in the mid 1800's..

[@ritaconnolly5042]

Love the wagon train scenes.

[@stevenlester2606]

This film was really well-researched as to scenery and equipment. It's like we're looking through a time scope.

[@greglaroche1753]

One of Gary Cooper.’s best. She was great I it too.

[@mushtaqali537]

A nice movie. Thanks for uploading it.

[@jackDmack1]

So well directed.... miles ahead of the over the top tripe produced today. Amazingly well made movie especially when you consider it's 92 yrs old and only a few yrs after the introduction of ''talkies'' . Brilliant!!!

[@jimrobinson9621]

breech loading, cartridge firing rifles at the start of civil war? they must of had a time machine to use those ''univented' guns then

[@cjjenson8212]

Strangely enough, this is one of my fave westerns. I own it and have probably seen it 30 times. Now I'm away from home, so Im happy to watch it on the road! Thanks for the upload 🙂

[@acehandler1530]

That was too cool when the stagecoach went by 'goin' about 6 mile an hour when we ain't done but 12 all day!" Gave me chills 😆😆😆

[@charlesmitchell917]

Never saw Coop so young.

[@veenapaulson5864]

He has got some silent find as well.But you can hardly recognize him under the make up!!

[@manuelmaldonadojr2526]

hey I love this movie and thank you very much.

[@elijahrose2144]

Brilliant movie 🎥 may God shower down great bless to you ,your family,love ones🍿20stars to these movies ❤️ Have a monumental Day 🤩

[@chunxxxxter]

The Scottish fella was the best Actor in this

[@Cyril_Squirrel]

In some of these early Cooper movies his time in silent movies is identifiable.

[@NorthcoastPatty]

I don't know where you dug up this gem, but I sure am glad you did and shared it. I love Gary Cooper, and this did not disappoint!!!

[@veenapaulson5864]

Loved this Jewel of a film. 1931 sure had a load of great films made!!! Thank you. Gary Cooper seems current and ageless even now.

[@barbaramazel9614]

this flick has a lot of the same "stock film" as the "Wagon Wheels" flick with Randolph Scott.There's even matching dialog. I don't mind tho, love both flicks !

[@roblong3684]

How funny were the Scottish lads, great stuff.

[@majorhoulihan8448]

Gary Cooper was a baaaaaaabe

[@acehandler1530]

Skinny as a rail though eh?! 😆

[@JC-gw3yo]

Always amazed me how a cowboy could look at an arrow and tell which Injun tribe

[@Tralala691]

Amazing. And no computer crap. This took a lot of time and talent of real men and women do a labor of love. Craftsmen. Not this hollyweird and it’s commie actor stuff they give us now.

[@jettrink7510]

He couldn't act at all huh...? I guess that's why he's just about the most admired film actor of all time.

[@antoniod]

Note those Indians in front of the main titles seem to come out of nowhere because the orginal opening titles were changed. FIGHTING CARAVANS was also a reissue favorite in Italy and Spain in the 40s and 50s.

[@markdouglas2704]

Cool

[@Tipi_Dan]

This film showcases a stereotype that is rarely seen today, but perhaps deserves a revival. That of the nasty, dirty, meddling, conniving, double dealing old batchelor.

[@alexfernandohuenten1374]

exelent

[@acehandler1530]

Liked seeing the actor that played Friar Tuck in the Errol Flynn 'Robin Hood' movie 😆

[@jamesdunn9714]

And many, many other flicks. Eugene Pallette was a great and busy character actor.

[@acehandler1530]

@@jamesdunn9714 Having watched "My Man Godfrey" for the fourth time recently I am finally quite familiar with Eugene Pallete's name. He was great in that movie. He played alongside William Powell in many other movies too.

[@acehandler1530]

@Djuma Webb He corrupted ALL the sweet ones didn't he? He was such a girlie-man 😍

[@rjmcallister1888-l3p]

A Paramount Picture, with titles chopped for television release in the 50's.

[@deadlyshoesalesman]

Thanks for the upload. I wonder if the original title sequence still exists.

[@pleximars]

this movie and Wagon Wheels, have many of the same scenes. Its like watching the same movie but with different actors....LOL

[@leonorebaulch6251]

Gotta love the madam's remark re men...."you gotta honey them and butter them on both sides....".....

[@kurtb8474]

This film is now 90 years old. Coop was really skinny wasn't he?

[@jimrobinson9621]

interesting that they are using breech loading, cartridge firing rifles before said items were even invented

[@johnzube3611]

At least in muddy and snowy parts of their toad they could have put large enough skies or sliding boards on and under their wagon wheels!? - JZ, 24.2.21.

[@colinglass7929]

I was born in 1958 ile watch any thing that's realy good well nearly everything How is it that in most westerns they all have saloon bars and hard drinkers in most western why was whisky so popular with most cowboys seem just to drink whisky. i seen alot of wseterns where they go into a bar and drink just whisky.during the wild west years

[@DavidRice111]

Many also liked their beer, but it was hard to keep cool, so they went with whisky.

[@miguelgabriel7568]

👍👍👍👍😆😆😁😁😁😊😊😊

[@jimrobinson9621]

as a very avid reader of western writing I was always bored with Zane Grey books. his writing was very pedestrian to me

[@ravindrasinghbhambral9325]

a good civilization??????

[@pavithrasair]

So bad that the whole world is flocking to it.

[@SenorQuichotte]

Thanks for upload. Gary Cooper really couldn't act at all. Stiff wooden and two dimensional

[@myenguerrand]

And yet he won not one but two oscars, so go figure. Oh well, Walter Brennan won 3!

[@GizziesGirl2]

No he wasn't? I think he's quite good here(as he very often is very good), did you watch more than 2 minutes of the film?

[@nancywood9027]

SeniorQuichotte - i think you are wrong. Gary Cooper was unique. He was a natural in this particular role, playing an early westerner. He fits the part. Many of his movies show a very unique character with an outstanding handsome face. A thrilling man to watch in any movie, especially those movies suited to his type already. Perhaps you have never watched a wide range of his movies. The best ones are great ones. I guarantee he left a lasting impression on lots of people during his day. I watched his movies when I was a teenager and loved every minute of what he inspired. You can't find anything like him today.

[@leonorebaulch6251]

SenorQuichotte no...I think he is brilliant and deserved all his oscars....his restraint in this movie is entirely in character...a very young man unsure and finding his manhood...a riveting performance and she is the perfect foil for his ambivalence.....
