Movie Reviews of High Noon (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Almost perfect, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is, of course, a classic, and the quality of the DVD is superb. The story teaches a great lesson about what America can expect from the rest of the world as we either face down our enemies or attempt to solve our current economy problems - ALONE.
My biggest problem with this "package" was the "Inside High Noon," documentary and it's many cuts to Bill Clinton giving his "take" on a story about a man of legendary courage and character. Can the irony GET any deeper? It is so incongruous I simply cannot watch it, and that's a shame because obviously somebody involved in this project is a big Clinton fan and decided this was an excellent chance to link this clown with a legend like Will Kane, showing the typical poor taste all Bill Clinton fans are cursed with.
I'll watch the movie over and over, but the 2nd disc was sentenced to the microwave and then the trash. Bill Clinton enjoyed 8 years in my house agianst my will, and that's all the time he'll get.
Summary of High Noon (Collector's Edition)
A newly married town marshal defends an ungrateful town against outlaws. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/01/2005 Starring: Gary Cooper Run time: 85 minutes Rating: NrOne of the greatest Westerns ever made gets the deluxe treatment on this superior disc from Republic Home Video's Silver Screen Classics line of special-edition DVDs. Written by Carl Foreman (who was later blacklisted during the anticommunist hearings of the '50s) and superbly directed by Fred Zinnemann, this 1952 classic stars Gary Cooper as just-married lawman Will Kane, who is about to retire as a small-town sheriff and begin a new life with his bride (Grace Kelly) when he learns that gunslinger Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald) is due to arrive at high noon to settle an old score. 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. The first-rate DVD gives this landmark film all the respect it deserves, beginning with a digitally remastered transfer from the original film negative. Additional features include the exclusive documentary The Making of High Noon, hosted by film historian Leonard Maltin and featuring interviews with the late Lloyd Bridges (who played Cooper's rival ex-deputy), director Fred Zinnemann, and producer Stanley Kramer. Also included is the original theatrical trailer and a special chapter stop highlighting the Oscar-winning song "Do Not Forsake Me." Offered in English and dubbed French and Spanish, with English closed-captioning or Spanish and French subtitles. --Jeff Shannon
