Title: A Family Film Actually Meant For The Whole Family
Product review: This Gary Cooper classic is from those days when "family film" meant more than just a film for parents to dump their kids for two hours so they're free to shop, eat out, etc. It is a film which all ages can enjoy and be challenged by. Deliberately paced by director William Wyler, it has excellent performances from Cooper, Dorothy Mcguire and a young Anthony Perkins. Watching Perkins in this multi-layered role, one regrets that Psycho locked him into Norman Bates-like roles for the rest of his career. His scenes opposite the legendary Cooper are gems. This performance makes you realize what an extraordinary actor he was. Highly recommended.
