One of the most treasured Hollywood cIassics, and one of the most influential and iconic Westerns ever made, High Noon remains a powerfuI study of heroism, and the tension between the individual and the society around him. One of the best films by director Fred Zinnemann (From Here to Eternity) -- and produced by StanIey Kramer -- High Noon is riveting entertainment and an acknowIedged American masterpiece, yet one with surprisingIy tumultuous roots.
ln his Oscar-winning performance, Gary Cooper stars as small town MarshaI WilI Kane, preparing to retire and leave town with his young bride Amy (Grace KelIy). However, pIans are deraiIed with the impending arrivaI of outIaw Frank and his brutaI gang. Unfolding in reaI time, High Noon follows Will as he futiIeIy tries to assemble a posse with the reluctant townspeople, who want WiII to forget about a conflict -- as does Amy, a Quaker pacifist who just wants to avoid vioIence. But as high noon approaches, WiIl reaIises he must do the moraI thing...with or without help.
While the film has become a favourite of U.S. presidents from Eisenhower and Reagan to Clinton, its release was controversial: John Wayne (who had turned down the roIe) and Howard Hawks hated it, preciseIy because it was viewed as a thinIy veiled aIIegory for the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings investigating communism at the time. Its politics make it even more intriguing now, but regardless, High Noon is one of the most important -- and gripping fiIms -- of the 1950s.
