Directed by Stuart Heisler
Starring Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, William Demarest, Dan Duryea
ClassicFlix has announced a new remaster of Stuart Heisler’s terrific Western spoof, Along Came Jones (1945). Actually, it’s not so much a spoof of Westerns as it is Gary Cooper poking a little fun at himself. It’s a cool movie, and I’m sure it’ll benefit from the ClassicFlix treatment. They’ve done some terrific stuff so far.
50 Westerns From The 50s. 
This was shown on UK TV last week, Still a good western comedy with Coop really enjoying himself. Based on the Novel “Useless Cowboy” by Alan LeMay who wrote the classic “The Searchers”
I like the scene in this film when Cooper walks into a saloon looking tough and wants to get past a table with guys playing cards.”Can I get by”he says .When no one answers he kicks the table out of the way.”You fellas ought to let people past when they ask”.Classic Cooper.
I particularly enjoyed both the serious way it began before transitioning to comedy and Loretta Young who I don’t recall from many westerns.
I believe this film is from a novel by Alan Lemay,whom we know best for the Searchers and the Unforgiven,he also wrote several screenplays Rocky Mountain with Errol Flynn for one,Along Cames Jones is a fun movie from his novel Useless Cowboy.
