High Noon (1952)

"We Don't Want Trouble in Our Town"


"We Don't Want Trouble in Our Town" - that is the basically what is going on with the townspeople of this story. Gary Cooper is Marshal Will Kane a man who just married a Quaker woman Amy Fowler (Grace Kelly). News arrived on their wedding day that Frank Miller & his gang are on their way to to get their revenge on Marshal Kane. Kane and his wife leaves but Kane decides to go back to face Miller and gang. Kane spends the movie trying to enlist the help of the townspeople to help him fight them but they refuse. Why do they refuse to help him is a mystery for awhile but is slowly revealed during the course of the movie.

Excellent cast - lots of big names in this film. Well acted out. The story-line is basic, simple but there is lots of tension building between the characters and the grand climax of the film.

This is a film like all others - you will have to watch it for yourself to know if you are going to enjoy it or not. I did enjoy the film and I'm not a huge fan the Western genre.

8/10
