As unlikely as their separate personalities might suggest, actor Gary Cooper and author Ernest Hemingway became the best of friends from 1940 until 1961, when death claimed them both just seven weeks apart.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:  Writer, war correspondent, international adventurer, lover, drinker, brawler. The tabloid reputation — filled with truths, half-truths and flat-out untruths — grows ever wider. If you made up a character like Ernest Hemingway, how many would believe it?  The mercurial Hemingway left people enchanted, hostile, endeared, confused, charmed, bruised, engaged, bitter. He was an extraordinary, unforgettable presence. As more than one person remarked: “Hemingway sucked the air out of a room.”

Though Hemingway’s extraordinary life and career has been exhaustively covered, less thoroughly examined has been his fascinating friendship with another American legend, film icon Gary Cooper.

On paper, it might seem impossible that the 20th century’s best-known writer and the tight-lipped, all-American “common man” would develop such a close friendship. The cowboy and the suburbanite. The conservative and the liberal. Ernest Hemingway and Gary Cooper were complete opposites and yet the best of friends for over 20 years, right up to their deaths a mere seven weeks apart in 1961.

Narrated by Academy Award nominee Sam Waterston (Law & Order, The Killing Fields), COOPER AND HEMINGWAY: THE TRUE GEN offers an unprecedented look at the bond between two of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. Featuring interviews with legendary actors, historians and members of the Hemingway family, including:

  • KIRK DOUGLAS (Spartacus, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). One of the American Film Institute’s Greatest Screen Legends in American History
  • CHARLTON HESTON, Academy Award Winner, Best Actor (Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Touch of Evil)
  • ROBERT OSBORNE, film historian and actor. Host, Turner Classic Movies
  • GEORGE PLIMPTON, American Journalist and Founder, The Paris Review 
  • PATRICIA NEAL, Academy Award Winner, Best Actress (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Day the Earth Stood Still)

NY Times Critics’ Pick

This movie has been designated a Critics’ Pick by the film reviewers of The New York Times.

Review Summary
Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway, two models of American virility, had similarities, not least as outdoorsmen: Cooper grew up on a farm in Montana, and Hemingway was a big-game hunter and deep-sea fisherman. But they were also a study in contrasts: Cooper worked with movie crews; Hemingway labored alone. Cooper was understated and conservative, Hemingway volatile and a liberal. The mix, as John Mulholland’s exhaustive documentary “Cooper & Hemingway: The True Gen” demonstrates, made for a friendship spanning decades. — Andy Webster

“If there’d been no Coop, Hemingway would’ve had to invent him” – Alistair Cooke

Ernest Hemingway: “Coop is a fine man; as honest and straight and friendly and unspoiled as he looks. If you made up a character like Coop, nobody’d believe it.”

And if you made up a character like Ernest Hemingway, how many would believe it? The mercurial Hemingway left people enchanted, hostile, confused, charmed, bruised, bitter.

Utter opposites … nothing in common. The cowboy and the suburbanite. The conservative and the liberal. And yet these two artists (a word both men scoffed at) were the best of friends, right up to their deaths a mere seven weeks apart in 1961. But is the friendship of these two men really so surprising?

Consider this Cooper obituary: “Perhaps with Gary Cooper there is ended a certain America. That of the frontier and of innocence, which had or was believed to have an exact sense of the dividing line between good and evil.” Corriere Della Sera, Rome.

Substitute the name of Hemingway’s Robert Jordan and the sentiment is just as apt and poignant.

Cooper & Hemingway Documentary

Cooper and Hemingway: The True Gen Directed by John Mulholland

A study of these two men is a study of the 20th century. Their internationally renowned careers (Cooper, two Best Actor Academy Awards; Hemingway, Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes) were played out over the same turbulent decades: the hedonistic 20s, the grim Depression 30s, the war-ravaged 40s, and the deceptively slumbering 50s.

It is no small irony that the lives of these two men should suffer untimely ends at the dawn of the erupting sixties. Their final, poignant chapter closed at the beginning of a decade which would challenge many of the very ideals and precepts which both men so prominently represented.

And yet, decades later, we have Liam Neeson reflecting: “…the character of Bryan Mills (Taken) fits into a cinematic iconic figure that we all recognize from way back … I’m thinking of Gary Cooper in High Noon, who is kind of a Bryan Mills. That kind of iconic figure that audiences seem to be attracted to.

Or Katniss Everdeen, the hero from The Hunger Games. For all the modern trappings, the extraordinarily courageous and selfless Katniss is really just a female updating of the Hemingway/Cooper hero. She’s Robert Jordan. She’s Will Kane. To understand Ernest Hemingway and Gary Cooper is to understand both the genesis of Katniss Everdeen and why she and other contemporary characters represent what they do to audiences today.

Perhaps Cooper and Hemingway didn’t really pass the torch, perhaps they merely leant it.
