J. W. Coop
Synopsis about the movie J. W. Coop
Cliff Robertson wrote, produced, directed and acted the lead in this
film about a rodeo performer. The rodeo footage in this film was
shot at actual rodeo competitions. Rodeo rider J.W. Coop (Robertson)
has just spent ten years in jail for passing bad checks. He comes
out and discovers that everything except his crazy mother (Geraldine
Page) has changed. Riders don't compete in all-around events
anymore, but fly all over the country in private planes to compete
in the same event in several rodeos a day. Furthermore, the sexual
liberation movement has changed the way women relate to men. He is
nonplused to discover a hippyish woman (Cristina Ferrare) who wants
a no-strings relationship with him. The idea of health food catches
him by surprise, too. Coop wants and needs to win a national rodeo
championship, despite all the new challenges he faces. |
