High Noon | PG | 1952 | Dir. Fred Zinnemann | US | 85 mins | IMDb 7.9 | B&W

Presented by HARROGATE FILM SOCIETY - open to non-members.

Our Classic Cinema season concludes with a Western as requested by one of last year’s Classic Season attendees. Fred Zinnerman’s 1952 High Noon, sees the action take place in real time in an isolated frontier town where Marshall Will Kane played by Gary Cooper has to hold the fort in the knowledge that a released killer, seeking vengeance, is riding the noon train back into town. Events take place on the morning of Kanes wedding. Grace Kelly is his young, pacifist Quaker bride in her first major film role.

High Noon is widely considered to be one of the most influential westerns of the decade.

Meaningful in its implications, it is loaded with interest and suspense. Not a frame is wasted in this taut, superbly directed, masterfully acted film, the first so-called "adult Western".
