    Single-Black-Male

    The 27 Year Old Gary Cooper

    This is one of four films that Cooper made with Fay Wray. She was earning four times as much as Cooper and saw him as rugged and impressive (why?). He was a product of Paramount Studios (at this point Cecil B. DeMille was making independent films), but would soon come to the attention of DeMille as the all-American man.
