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. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - High Noon high on my list. No self respecting collector of the western classic film genre should be without this cd. It ranks right up there with She wore a yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Lonesome Dove, Bend in the River, Unforgiven, and Tombstone to name a few. Gary Cooper is at his best since his performance in Seargent York. Rating: - Amazon DVD High Noon As ususal, Amazon had it, shiped and I received it in better than good order. I've never had a complaint. Rating: - Very Satisfied I was very pleased with my order from this seller. I received it promptly and in better condition then was described. I will buy again from this seller. Rating: - The quintessential western with deeper meaning This is the quintessential western with a subtle but unmistakable reference to the bullying techniques of McCarthyism. One man stands alone in the face of intimidation because those who should be his friends fear to share in his fate. This is the common-man, Gary Cooper, at his best and most noble. A must have for any video collection. Rating: - The Gunman is Coming First of all, I have seen High Noon but not this particular DVD so I can't comment on the special features. The film itself is a pretty interesting concept for a western. Gary Cooper plays a local sheriff who learns he will soon be facing a quartet of armed outlaws when the final one arrives on the noon locomotive. Grace Kelly plays his wife who happens to be a pacifist. Other performers include Katy Jurado and Lon Chaney Jr. As time ticks down, Cooper attepmts to get others in the ...
