January 10, 2009John Wayne was totally wrong to call this movie un-American. Courage and cowardice are universal emotions, and the attitudes of the characters in High Noon are, I think, incredibly truthful and telling. I know that if I lived in the Wild West, had a job and family, and was asked ...( read more)

September 7, 2008The most entertaining moment of this film, for me, was the moment I realized that the main villain was named Frank Miller.
Other than that, this movie meant nothing to me. The direction was decent. Script was okay. The acting was poor, save maybe from Cooper. The theme song was incredibly annoying. And above all, I just didn't care.
Sorry, but I'm a Leone/Eastwood man, myself. -
