Coming out on DVD - Gary Cooper falls for a Polish Girl

Gary Cooper who for 9 years served in the Paramount Studio system was reclaimed by MGM for "The Wedding Night" (1935), in which, under King Vidor's sensitive direction, he seems to be struggling to reconcile his private and public personas.

Cooper plays a successful New York novelist who has fallen into alcoholism and hack work; he retires to a house in the country, where he is drawn to a simple Polish farm girl (Anna Sten, a Kiev-born star whom Goldwyn had imported as a threat to Greta Garbo). "The Wedding Night," issued as a stand-alone title, is one of the most delicate and moving of Vidor's fables of city versus country life, and MGM has given it a luminous transfer for its DVD debut.

The courage of characters played by Gary Cooper is well respected in Poland. This solidarnosc poster features the image of Cooper from the movie High Noon.

This is probably the most recognized solidarnosc poster in the world.
