Seven Days Leave (1930) law and order drama added 4 Sep 09
    starring Gary Cooper, Beryl Mercer
    based on James M Barrie's "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals"
A childless cleaning lady Beryl Mercer, during WWI, creates a fictional son, so she can also say that her son is at the front, and brags about him to her friends.  The jig is up, when the local rector accidentally meets a soldier Gary Cooper with the name surname and decides he must be her son. When Gary and Beryl meet, at first he is incensed, but then cools down, and they become friends.  He finally agrees to maintain the charade, as he has no one else to watch out after him anyway.
A scratchy cut of this movie.  You know some of Gary's acting here is pretty, how shall we say... bad.  His fault? Or the bad direction and production.  Sort of a disappointment.  See below for a much better Cooper movie.  Beryl steals this one.  She is perfect as his fantasy mother.

A love triangle, two brothers, one woman, during World War I.  Lots of battle scenes and airplanes.  Jean while dating the older brother, seduces the not-unwilling younger brother as well.  All three enlist for the war. It appears that the very end of this film might be cut off, but you'll see the climax.

A Farewell to Arms (1932) law and order romance added 2 Sep 09
    starring Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper, Adolphe Menjou
    from the novel by Ernest Hemingway
Set in Italy during WWI.  Gary Cooper is an ambulance driver, Helen Hayes is a nurse.  They fall in love, but Gary is sent away to the front.  While he is away Helen is transferred to Milan to keep them apart.  Cooper is badly injured by a bomb blast, but his friend shows up to make sure he gets transferred to the hospital in Milan as well.  After one final barrier intervenes to keep them apart, Cooper goes AWOL and searches the countryside to find his lost love again.
    Trivia: Gary Cooper... shirtless.
