Along Came Jones...And the Film Went That Away **
19 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Disappointing 1945 film with Loretta Young, Gary Cooper and William Demarest caught up in some very bad writing.

A near perfect role for Gary Cooper with his "aw shucks" western language like-attitude. Loretta Young suddenly turns into an Annie Oakley by film's end.

The story where Cooper is mistaken as a notorious gunman is cliché as best. Amazing that Cooper and Young, who at first allows the confusion to continue so that the real villain, the usual Dan Duryea, can get away with all that he has done. True to Hollywood standards, Young falls for Cooper. The dialogue and even the shoot out scenes are quite dull.

Nothing much going on here.
