	Orbital Reviews: High Noon (1952) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Had High Noon come to theaters a decade earlier, or even a decade later, it would not have had the same political and historical impact as it did in 1952.
		In High Noon, Kane's friends desert him when he most needs their help, much like friends deserted each other in the midst of the house inquiries and accusations of communist sympathies.
		High Noon, then, is not merely another Western with a hero who overcomes the odds stacked against him, but a morality play that had political and cultural relevancy at the time.

	High Noon, a Classic Film Revisited
		High Noon is almost a Greek tragedy played in wide brimmed hats, with a starkness, almost a bleakness, that is not what most people expect in a western.
		In a year in which several self-indulgent films have sprawled to more than double the length of High Noon, there is a lesson to be learned from this tightly disciplined film.
		The film begins with a wedding (the traditional ending for a comedy), between Marshal Will Kane (Cooper) and his Quaker sweetheart (Kelly), for whose sake he is trading in his gun and badge for a new life in a new town.

	Review: High Noon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		By 1952, movie-goers knew exactly what to expect from a Western: a clean-cut, self-assured hero facing down a good-for-nothing villain in a climactic shoot-out, lots of action, gorgeous scenery, and not much in the way of thematic depth.
		Indeed, 1952 was the time of "un-American" things, with Senator Joseph McCarthy wielding the power of paranoia and fear in Washington as he presided over the 20th century Salem Witch Trials.
		High Noon also offered the first high-billed opportunity to Grace Kelly, who would go on to capture an Oscar, the eye of Alfred Hitchcock (she became his favorite female lead), and the hearts of millions (including the Prince of Monaco).

	HIGH NOON
		But in High Noon he found the perfect role, his dogged taciturnity and the pain he was suffering from an ulcer during the shooting leading to the performance of his career.
		The film was supposed to be an allegory of the United Nations, and of the Korean War, this latter apparently baffling and infuriating an ageing Fred Zinnemann, as well it might.
		Finally there is High Noon 2002, a leaden filmmaking-by-numbers effort which follows the Carl Foreman screenplay reasonably closely, but lacks style, tension, characterization, dramatic use of music, editing technique or anything else that distinguishes the original.

	Jiminy Critic Movie Reviews - Review of High Noon (1952)
		In 1952, when the film was released, Cooper was one of the huge icons of American film.
		As the clock ticks from 10:20 towards High Noon (literally, since the film unfolds in real-time, which is backed up by the dozens of clock shots throughout the film) Kane’s face grows bleaker and bleaker as he realizes that no one will stand with him.
		As the film moves on, driven by the ticking of the clocks, with even the angry looking sky seemingly against him, it becomes clear that to Kane, running away would be even worse than death.

	Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Not a frame is wasted in this taut, superbly directed, masterfully acted film, the first so-called "adult Western," in which the traditional and predictable elements of action, song and minimal romance give way to a swift, intense unraveling of a situation and complex character development.
		HIGH NOON is also the story of a western town, Hadleyville, and its sometimes stouthearted citizenry, the most prominent of whom is the stoic, heroic Will Kane (Gary Cooper), a lawman surrounded by friends and admirers at the start, deserted and doomed at the finish.
		A landmark Western in every sense, HIGH NOON was shot by cinematographer Floyd Crosby in high contrast, an approach director Fred Zinnemann used to bring documentarylike authenticity to the film.

	MJ Movie Reviews - High Noon (1952) by Dan DeVore
		High Noon was the turning point of the western genre, it linked the western's past with its future.
		Second before noon, we see the clock, the nervous tension filled faces, and the tracks omniously reaching into the distance, as the musical score chimes away warning us something is about to happen.
		Don't get me wrong, High Noon is a great western, but it is not the classic that people make it out to be, nor does it even come close to being the greatest western of all time.

	High Noon (1952)
		This taut, tightly-scripted, minimalist film tells the tale of a solitary, stoic, honor-bound marshal/hero, past his prime and already retired, who was left desolate and abandoned by the Hadleyville townspeople he had faithfully protected for many years (symbolically - during the World War II years).
		It was remade as a science-fiction film, writer/director Peter Hyams' Outland (1981) with Sean Connery, with the adapted plot transferred to interstellar space (and ridiculed as "High Moon").
		In the suspenseful film, every minute is packed with tension as time passes, symbolized by numerous instances of clock-watching and quick cuts to images of clocks ticking relentlessly toward the doom of high noon.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : High Noon: Collector's Edition
		Urged by his bride to leave town or risk their new marriage (and certainly, it is felt, his life), Kane insists on staying — the new marshal isn't expected for another day and Kane feels committed to protecting his town and facing the consequences of his career as a principled lawmaker.
		In the half-century since High Noon's initial release, Kane has come to represent a sadly antiquated model of American man: an individualist bound by selfless and unyielding commitment to law and protecting those in his dominion; a man resistant to corrosive neuroses and unthwarted by moral relativism.
		"Behind High Noon" (9:47), meanwhile, is less informative in its interviews with many of the descendants featured in the commentary, but it still reflects the importance of this work in the lives of the artists who contributed to it.

	High Noon
		High Noon is a grim tale with one of the greatest bitter endings, but that seems fitting when you consider it came out during the McCarthy era and the screenwriter, Carl Foreman, was soon fllisted.
		The film opens with three outlaws coming to the quiet town of Hadleyville, where Marshall Will Kane is getting married and is ready to leave town to enjoy life with his wife and let a new Marshall take over.
		If you watch High Noon looking for a feel good happy ending, you won't be satisfied: There is a happy ending, but not in the conventional way.

		He is played by Gary Cooper after all and at this point in the world of cinema the filmmaker's rarely killed off their leading man. What makes the film gripping and poignant is Kane's silent resolve to do what's right no matter what it might cost him.
		I don't know who he was up against for the major acting awards, but it's clear after watching this film they didn't have much of a chance.
		Even if you're not a fan of the Western, HIGH NOON is a movie you have to see.

		Fred Zinnemann's High Noon was described by John Wayne as the most un-American movie he'd ever seen.
		John Wayne was among those who called this film "Un-American." Several of the townspeople can be accused of cowardice but that is not true of Amy Kane who is a pacifist whose principles require her to oppose her husband's decision to remain.
		To say the truth, "High noon" is more like a thriller with a Hitchcockian feeling to it.

		Fred Zinnemann's High Noon is a western classic telling the simple story of the bad guys returning to town to get revenge on the sheriff who had them sent to prison.
		It's a film that can be celebrated for its attack on America's growing silent majority during the height of McCarthy's witch hunt.
		The film makes use of cross-cutting as repeated close-ups of Cooper's anguished expressions and shots of clocks ticking off the time left before the men arrive are employed throughout, adding to the build-up of tension.

	village voice > film > High Noon by Michael Atkinson
		The bad guys are returning to town; the retiring sheriff (a haggard, cancer-destined Gary Cooper) must do his duty; the ass-covering townspeople bail and leave the lonesome cowboy to face the music alone—Zane Grey would've strained to crank out a novella with such a framework.
		Such is the wonder of the Hollywood genre factory: High Noon is possibly the most Rorschachian film of all time, a symbol-only text that effortlessly conforms to any political present, and finds a foothold in your social sphere whether you're a free radical or reactionary wing nut.
		The meat on the film's bones is small-town Americans, not Cooper's reluctantly self-sanctifying sheriff, who, once evil is vanquished, tosses his star in the dirt out of disgust.
