Review

With typical flair, David Thomson launches a series of biogs of screen greats. On Cooper, he sees the stains beneath the square-jawed hero. He may have lacked Cary Grant’s irony, but there was more to him than heroics: “He could make the effort of arriving at an honourable decision fresh every time.”
