This a fair classic, combining veteran Western themes with contemporary concerns about accepted acquiescence to substandard, done in a attractive, current (nearly real-time) plot, with vast actors.
Town marshal Will Kane (Gary Cooper) is caught between his recent pacifist Quaker wife Amy (Grace Kelly) and a felt duty to face down ghastly men coming on the noon whisper to remove revenge on him (and presumably cause whatever other effort they please) . Most of the drama takes status in the lead-up to a climactic battle, as the townspeople decide whether to befriend Kane with action or to let him stand alone. Amy too must decide between her spouse and her possess true beliefs. The tension builds relentlessly as we contemplate clocks ticking towards noon. The innovative sunless and white cinematography emphasizes the dramatic points, while the internal drama is captured in Cooper’s face.

The unique DVD features are these:
– “Inside High Noon,” a 50-minute documentary on the making of the film (seek below for more on this)
– “Tex Ritter: A Visit to Carthage, Texas,” on the Tex Ritter Museum
– the paunchy performance of “Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin’” from the Jimmy Dean TV Show
The features carried over from the unusual release are:
– commentary with Gary Cooper’s daughter Maria Cooper Janis, screenwriter Carl Foreman’s son Jonathan Foreman, director Fred Zinneman’s son Tim Zinnemann and Tex Ritter’s son John Ritter
– “The Making of High Noon” featurette
– “Leisurely High Noon” featurette
– radio broadcast with Tex Ritter
Whether the recent features will warrant an upgrade is a matter of personal preference, of course. A 50-minute documentary could be quite spellbinding, if it’s well done.
It does sound spirited. The “novel” documentary, actually made a couple years ago but shelved until now, is by film and Gary Cooper expert John Mulholland. It’s expected to shroud, among other things, the conflict between Cooper and John Wayne over the participation of the blacklisted screenwriter Carl Foreman. Given that the film is intended in portion as an allegory of the public’s acquiescence in the Red Apprehension, this will have more than the usual gossipy behind-the-scenes relevance. It includes interviews with three of the children of the principles who participated in the DVD audio commentary: Cooper’s daughter Maria, director Zinneman’s son Tim, and Foreman’s son Jonathan. There are also interviews with Grace Kelly’s son Prince Albert of Monaco, Western and film historians Brian Garfield, Lee Clark Mitchell, Stephen Prince and Meir Ribalow, and High Noon fan President Bill Clinton. The narration is by actor Frank Langella.
Lack of agreement between Paramount and Lionsgate prevented the earlier release of a restored transfer and the documentary, in case you’re wondering why this didn’t reach out before.
(Amazon has a habit of removing or not even accepting outside links, but if you want to read more about this, some of the more inviting tidbits are from a discussion at hometheaterforum. Objective do a web search for “high noon” plus “ultimate collector’s edition” or “inside high noon” and such keywords to salvage the links–easy to come by.)
A parting imprint on the ethical side of the film. While everyone can relish the strength of Cooper’s character and the inequity to the weakness of others, which is no doubt the intended just focus, we can wonder why the seemingly parallel choices facing Will and Amy are treated differently, with one portrayed heroically for choosing perceived broader duty over duty to spouse, while the other is seemingly well-liked in doing the opposite (those who have seen the movie will be able to examine how that is) . I’m not distinct writer Foreman saw that parallel as I establish it here, and maybe there are first-rate reasons to argue they aren’t really parallel. It could be a statement about the limits of pacifism, or it could be a reflection of other cultural mores that Foreman didn’t interrogate. Or it could be largely motivated by the need for a sure kind of ending. I’m not a film historian, so maybe these questions have already been addressed. If so, feel free to leave a comment about it.
High Noon is a classic yarn of a man who is torn between his duty and admire. Gary Cooper stars as Will Cain, a sheriff of cramped town Hadleyville, NM, who has unbiased gotten married to Amy played by Grace Kelly. Amy is a Quaker and in deference to her pacifist beliefs, Will is turning in his badge. But impartial as the newlyweds are preparing to leave town for a fresh life, Will learns that a criminal, Frank Miller, he build unhurried bars is being paroled and arriving in town on the 12 noon sigh for a showdown. Tension fills the air as the anticipated showdown draws closer. Amy begs for Will to leave with her, but he knows he can’t urge away. He must discontinue and defend the town and his honor. Will finds himself alone in the battle as everyone in town, including his deputy sheriff Harvey Pell, played by Lloyd Bridges, have turned away from him. The film is unbiased a runt over 80 minutes long and it unfolds in essentially trusty time on the veil. Director Fred Zinnemann effectively uses clocks to drawl the time ticking away towards the battle. The movie is filled with tension as the showdown draws come and Mr. Cooper brilliantly plays his portion for which he won his second Best Actor Oscar. Tex Ritter, John’s father, sings the Oscar winning song, “Don’t Forsake Me” which perfectly captures the essence of the film. High Noon is not only a classic western, but a classic American film.
