...from the West (Mirisch; United Artists) puts Gary Cooper back in the saddle after an interim of a couple of years in which he grey-flanneled it around Paris with Audrey Hepburn (Love in the Afternoon) and Manhattan with Suzy Parker (Ten North Frederick). To celebrate the occasion, the producer has given him De Luxe Color and even a welcome home from one of the other characters, who says admiringly: "You look good back up on that hoss."
