About this product
Product Information
Gary Cooper is Hollywood's perfect hero, the very embodiment of integrity and grace in this greatest of all Westerns. As a newly married town marshal, he must balance an innate sense of justice and duty with loyalty to his beautiful new--and pacifist--bride (Grace Kelly). When he is left by an ungrateful town to face a gang of deadly outlaws alone, the hands of the clock move in real time as one of the greatest showdowns in movie history draws ever closer. Frequently interpreted as a parable about artists left to stand alone and face persecution during the McCarthy-era Hollywood blacklistings, the film was declared un-American by none other than John Wayne--apparently he was offended by the film's ending, which shows Sheriff Kane removing his badge and tossing it in the dirt.Product Identifiers

Gary Cooper is THE icon of mature manhood, as the aging Marshal facing down four outlaws alone.
Gary Cooper is THE icon of mature manhood, as the aging Marshal facing down four outlaws without any help from the townsfolk he's protecting. Americans, reaching back to the 19th century in search of the pioneer spirit which they believe to be integral to the national character, love Cooper's authentic Montana background and unpretentiousness. Cooper, as Marshal Kane, is the man they aspire to be. His greatness lies not in physical strength, looks, purity, or quickness with a gun, but in the moral courage to stand up, alone if necessary, when his community is under threat. Together, Zinneman & Cooper create the perfect image of individual courage. However, much of this image is created by contrasting Kane with an American town riddled with moral weakness and downright cowardice. This aspect of the film was considered unpatriotic by some, including John Wayne and Howard Hawks. The central plotline becomes clear early on, and we know where Kane is headed. Meanwhile, we are fascinated by two women: Kane's bride Amy (Grace Kelly) and his former girlfriend Helen (Katy Jurado). At the start of the film, Amy is missish & pacifist, and even filmed unflatteringly. By contrast, Helen is a beautiful, independent woman, in a very strong performance by Jurado. But then, the two meet, and in a fantastic scene Helen seems to give Amy strength, maturity, and even beauty. From that point on, Amy begins to understand her husband better, and it is no surprise when she runs back to support him as soon as the first shot is fired. The simplicity of the plot means that it lends itself to a number of metaphorical interpretations. In the age of HUAC, some read the film as a metaphor for the isolation of Hiss, actors, writers, & directors accused of Communism. Others interpret Kane as Harry Truman. His failing popularity in 1952 inevitably led to the victory of the Republicans, who had caused the 1929 crash when last in power. Some might see the film as a retort to the excessive idealism of `It's a Wonderful Life' and other Capra films which show the community helping an individual in trouble. Finally, the film is still ideal propaganda for the NRA, whose philosophy is `a good man with a gun is needed to beat a bad man with a gun.'Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent - worth ten times the price
I think High Noon is one of the best Westerns ever, All the action at the end but mouting tension throughout. Noted for first (I think) role for Lee Van Cleef. Scenes at rail depot waiting for the noon train to arrrive are superb - I could go on but see for yourself. An excellent product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It's more grim than is usual for an Ealing comedy
I have only watched the first 2 hours of the film and would have to say it has been woefully short on laughs so far.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
