This is a true classic a man of integrity has his commitment to his job put to the test,for what? Another 1950's western is 'The Searchers' 1956,John Wayne and directed by John Ford⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rio Bravo (1959) was Howard Hawks answer to this movie. Both great, in different ways.

Jon Freezin-Rain

Hawks really liked that story since he made it 3 times, Rio Bravo, ElDorado, and Rio Lobo. Politics in Hollywood is, as it turns out, not new. For me As a personal choice it's ElDorado

With your eagle eye, I was a little surprised you didn't recognize Thomas Mitchell (Jonas, the man who says they can do without a marshal for a day). He played Uncle Billy in It's a Wonderful Life and was one of the greatest of the great character actors of the Golden Age. Now that you have met Gary Cooper, who won the academy award for this performance, I suggest you enjoy Sergeant York (1941) that earned him his first Oscar, and Ball of Fire (1941) that shows his range as an actor who never seemed to be acting. It is important that you see Sergeant York before Ball of Fire. I won't spoil it by telling you why.

1950s The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) had for several years been grilling Hollywood writers, directors, and actors for fear they were planting subliminal Communist messages in movies. Writer Carl Foreman had crafted High Noon as a loose allegory for blacklisting. HUAC indeed called High Noon Foreman to testify during production of the movie. The committee blacklisted Foreman, a former member of the Communist Party, for failing to cooperate with HUAC. https://popoff.us/the-classic-high-noon-was-a-metaphoric-cold-war-showdown-4ef3915b9e59

Hadn't seen this movie - now I have and it was great, especially with your reactions alongside!

Another very enjoyable reaction, Dawn. I like how you have made the movie screen smaller so it doesn’t hide part of your face anymore. In 1951, after 25 years in show business, Gary Cooper's professional reputation was in decline, and he was dropped from the "Motion Picture Herald's" list of the top ten box-office performers. In the following year, he made a big comeback, at the age of 51, with this film. There was some question as to the casting of Gary Cooper, since he was 50 and Grace Kelly, playing his wife, was only 21, despite this being fairly commonplace for the period in which this film was set. Will Kane was only supposed to be about 30. Lee Van Cleef was originally hired to play Deputy Marshal Harvey Pell. However, producer Stanley Kramer decided that his nose was too "hooked," which made him look like a villain, and told him to get it fixed. Van Cleef refused, and Lloyd Bridges got the part. Van Cleef was given the smaller role of gunman Jack Colby, one of the Miller gang. Deputy Marshal Harvey Pell was played by Lloyd Bridges who also played Control Tower Supervisor Steve McCroskey in Airplane! (1980) and was the Father of Jeff Bridges (Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski). There were two sequels: High Noon: The Clock Strikes Noon Again (TV Movie 1966) High Noon, Part II: The Return of Will Kane (TV Movie 1980)
