Details

• Release Year: 1945
• Genre: Comedy, Romance, Western
• Plot: Screen legends Gary Cooper ('High Noon') and Loretta Young ('Lady From Cheyenne') saddle up for an action-packed comedy/western that's 'loaded with laughs' ('Variety'). With inspired performances and lively direction, 'Along Came Jones' hits the bull's-eye for classic western entertainment.; ; Melody Jones (Cooper) is a mild-mannered cowpoke who barely knows the difference between a six-shooter and a carbine rifle, but when he rides into Paynesville, he immediately commands the respect – and fear – of the entire town. The locals believe he's the notorious Monte Jarrad (Dan Duryea), a ruthless outlaw who's been terrorizing the frontier with his daring robberies and lightning-fast draw. At first, Jones enjoys his newfound fame, but that quickly ends when he finds himself the target of a bloodthirsty posse, a determined private investigator, Jarrad's double-crossed partners and the most dangerous enemy of all: Jarrad himself!
