The Virginian (1929 film)

(

)

... that The Virginian (poster pictured), once described as "a chore to watch", has a 100% "fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes?

ALT1:... that The Virginian (poster pictured) featured "yup and nope" actor Gary Cooper saying "if you wanna call me that – smile"?
ALT2:... that The Virginian (poster pictured) shaped the view of cowboys as chivalrous, slow-talking yet tough characters?

Article is 5x expansion, well-referenced, offline references accepted in good faith. But I prefer the first hook most. Although the RT rating may change with time. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 07:37, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. If you want to check the google books, just type a search string in the bar. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:52, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

The sentence that begins "Soon afterwards, Molly Wood.." is missing its verb. I prefer the ALT1 hook. --GroveGuy (talk) 02:42, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
