4.0 out of 5 stars
an excellent companion to the film,

This review is from: Showdown at High Noon: Witch-Hunts, Critics, and the End of the Western (The Scarecrow Filmmakers Series) (Paperback)
I took off one star for the price(at $50 for a paperback it's rather high), but the book itself is very well made and written. The author writes in an easy to understand style, but the book is both a fun companion to High Noon and an exhaustive history/film criticism volume.
Here's a table of contents for those who want to know exactly what the book contains: Preface Acknowledgments Part I: The World of High Noon 1. Showdown 2. High Noon Enters Popular Legend 3. Independent Production and the Rise of Stanley Kramer 4. The Red Scare and the Blacklist Part II: Communism and Conformity 5. Writing High Noon, Facing the Blacklist 6. The Failed Community Part III: Westerns and Anti-Westerns 7. Formula and Subversion 8. High Noon and the End of the Western Part IV: Auteurs, Critics, and Collaborative Filmmaking 9. Auteurs and Westerns 10. The Making of High Noon Part V: The Film As Film 11. A Citizen Named Kane 12. Noir at High Noon Bibliography Index About the Author |
