Gary Cooper stars as Marshall Will Cane the Lone Lawman facing down his Vengeful Evil Foe - High Noon 1952 |
In 1952 the US flag made an appearance in one of the classic game changer gems of Hollywood Cinema. Breaking with tradition can be a risky move, but sometimes it pays off. More than just a change up on Western Action, High Noon 1952 presents hard moral choices. Besides adding a layer of depth to a popcorn action genre, it showed a romantic relationship between a strong willed and fiercely independently minded Mexican woman with two white Southern Men.

Hard it is now to appreciate this type of movie if you are younger than the Baby Boomer Generation, but it was still a smash hit for its hard hitting edgy themes and style. It was considered one of Ronald Regan's favorite films.
The debate between war and peace is not a new subject, ever so ancient. But note this movie was created and released in the middle of the Korean War.

High Noon puts into sharp focus the two-footer stand on your own two feet philosophy, in contrast to the weak minded cowardly element that often rules men and women in the face of evil.
