Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
One of the greatest Westerns ever made gets the deluxe treatment on this superior disc from Republic Home Video's Silver Screen Classics line of special-edition DVDs. Written by Carl Foreman (who was later blacklisted during the anticommunist hearings of the '50s) and superbly directed by Fred Zinnemann, this 1952 classic stars Gary Cooper as just-married lawman Will Kane, who is about to retire as a small-town sheriff and begin a new life with his bride (Grace Kelly) when he learns that gunslinger Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald) is due to arrive at high noon to settle an old score. Kane seeks assistance from deputies and townsfolk, but soon realizes he'll have to stand alone in his showdown with Miller and his henchmen. Innovative for its time, the suspenseful story unfolds in approximate real time (from 10:40 a.m. to high noon in an 84-minute film), and many interpreted Foreman's drama as an allegorical reflection of apathy and passive acceptance of Senator Joseph McCarthy's anticommunist campaign. Political underpinnings aside, this remains a milestone of its genre (often referred to as the first "adult" Western), and Cooper is flawless in his Oscar-winning role. The first-rate DVD gives this landmark film all the respect it deserves, beginning with a digitally remastered transfer from the original film negative. Additional features include the exclusive documentary The Making of High Noon, hosted by film historian Leonard Maltin and featuring interviews with the late Lloyd Bridges (who played Cooper's rival ex-deputy), director Fred Zinnemann, and producer Stanley Kramer. Also included is the original theatrical trailer and a special chapter stop highlighting the Oscar-winning song "Do Not Forsake Me." Offered in English and dubbed French and Spanish, with English closed-captioning or Spanish and French subtitles. --Jeff Shannon

Great cast: Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly & my old neighbor, when he was making Sea Hunt, Lloyd Bridges. First movie Grace Kelly was featured in even though a somewhat small roll.

You know this is a classic and you know the plot.
But did you know that Grace Kelly went to bed with Gary Cooper during the making of this film? According to her biographer, she had a thing for older men (Bing Crosby was next on her list). There was a 30 year difference between her and Coop.
This fact adds a special flavor to the watching of this film -- the "marriage" suddenly becomes believable.

I bought this as a chrismas gift for my father-in-law. It was hard to find in a regular video store and he really loved it!!

A marshal (Gary Cooper) tries to round up a posse to face vindictive outlaws scheduled to arrive at--you guessed it--12 noon. He must deal with not only a reluctant citizenry but also his upset newlywed (Grace Kelly). Suspense builds as the final hour approaches.
Rating: -
That's a simple western film, just before the renaissance of the genre with Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone and a few others. It is a classic of that period (1952) and in a way a turning point. A criminal was caught and sent to prison because one marshal and the population of a township did what they had to do. The criminal should have hanged but some law from Washington changed the game and he only got five years of prison. Five years later he comes back to kill those who had tried to have him ...
