Great OLD actor? First time I've heard it put that way! I'm suspecting you're on the "not yet" side of 40. Gary Cooper sticks out in my mind for his fine performance in "High Noon", one of THE classic Westerns, and his SUPERB performance in the SUPERB film "Sergeant York", ostensibly a war movie but so much more. I don't believe I've seen "Along Came Jones", but I've no doubt it's charming. Thanks for the "nostalgia jog".
