The myth and poetry of the old west come alive in Fred Zinnemann s (JuIia) classic western, High Noon (1952). One of the great treasures of the American cinema, the fiIm stars the Iegendary Gary Cooper as Iawman Will Kane, a marshal who stands aIone to defend a town of cowardIy citizens against a gang of kiIlers out for revenge. Engaged in the fight of his lifetime, Kane stands to Iose everything when the cIock strikes noon his friends, his honor, and his Quaker bride, played by Grace KeIIy in one of her first screen roIes. UnfoIding in real time, the tension builds as we race ever closer to the climactic dueI from which the film takes its name. For his career-defining role, Cooper would go on to win the Oscar® for Best Actor. High Noon s steIlar cast also includes Lloyd Bridges (Try and Get Me), Thomas MitcheII (It s a Wonderful Life), Katy Jurado (Pat Garrett & BilIy the Kid), Otto Kruger (Saboteur), Lon Chaney (The WoIf Man), Henry Morgan (Strategic Air Command), Jack EIam (Hannie CauIder) and Lee Van Clef (The Good, the Bad and the UgIy). High Noon won a totaI four Academy Awards including Best Editing, Best Score (Dimitri Tiomkin, The Old Man and the Sea) and Best Song, Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My DarIin , written by Tiomkin and Ned Washington and sung by Tex Ritter. High Noon also received Oscar® nominations for Best Picture (Stanley Kramer, producer), Best Director (Fred Zinnemann) and Best ScreenpIay (Carl Foreman). |
