High Noon is a top 10 Western for me. I think if there were a critics poll taken that most of them would put in the top five, maybe even three, as far as westerns go. The reviews that the film gets are stellar to this day. It has flaws. For one thing, Gary Cooper was a little too old for the part---or Grace Kelly was too young, take your pick. He had almost thirty full years on her, and in some close shots it really shows. But I guess stranger things have happened. It just doesn't happen too much when the older man isn't named Trump lol. Great movie. My favorite western is still "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral." It's probably an inferior film, and they took A LOT of liberties with the real-life story. But there's just something about Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster together that brings it all together for me.

I own that movie only because Russ Tamblyn was in it. Since west side story I try to see him in every movie he is in. after I saw that movie and watched him dance, he was very good, as good as any of them. he was a great dancer, does he have an actress daughter, foots.

Kelly and Cooper had quite the notorious affair while making High Noon, so I guess if your name is Cooper it happens too I'm with the above poster that mentioned Lonesome Dove. My absolute favorite western.

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?
