Even if you don't like Westerns...

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

As of August 17, 2017, the vast majority of the one and two star reviews are complaints about dvd's, blu-rays and streaming. One or two quibble over the realism of the movie, i.e. Westerners were armed and history proves that they would use the arms. I don't watch Hollywood's products for realism or lessons in tactics and gunfighting. If it is going to seriously annoy you that the fight could have been over as quickly as the O.K. Corral shootout if Kane had used a shotgun or if he had persuaded one man to hide in the Church tower with a rifle, then don't watch it. For the rest of us, it's fine acting, a good story with suspense, romance and action and a great theme song if you don't think too much about the lyrics. This movie is on every top 100 Westerns list I've ever heard of. It is also on many top ten lists. More, it is on many lists which are not western specific.

I streamed this movie via Amazon Prime so can not comment on any storage disc products.

All about personal responsibility

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

The major theme with "High Noon" is personal responsibility. His collegues, his friends, his mentor, and his neighbors all let Marshal Kane down and refuse to help him in his mission to settle old scores and administer justice the hard way. Ultimately the film is about leaders and their responsibility to lead; that they ultimately are alone in their decisions. Kane decides to stay because of his sense of responsibility and of doing what he knows to be right. The courts have failed him (and the town) and pardoned Frank Miller, who now seeks to return and enact vengeance on the man who almost had him hanged. All of those around Kane fail to answer his call for help and assume responsibility for keeping the town safe. In the end, Kane is alone and must bear the burden of dealing with Miller and his gang on his own.

The Best Western

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is easy to see why this western was nominated for 7 Academy Awards. The film was made in 1952 and is far and away the best western film Hollywood has ever produced. Something else unique about this film is that it all takes place in real time, from the moment the movie begins Gary Cooper has about an hour and a half before he may die.

I've watch this classic many times over the years, from VHS to various DVD incarnations, to this fabulous Olive Signature Blu-ray. Hands down, this is the best the film has ever looked on home video. It's amazing how well anything shot on decent film stock holds up to a good, modern 4K scan and transfer to Blu-ray. Can't wait to see what else Olive brings us with their new Signature line. Don't hesitate...get this today.

High Non is the greatest movie ever made

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

High Noon is a metaphor for the persecution of innocent members of the Entertainment Industry by the House Un-American Activities Committee [HUAC] and the failure of the Entertainment Industry to stand up to the HUAC. This is especially true of Carl Foreman, the persecuted Script Writer who wrote the Script for High Noon.
Note also the great performance by a Supporting Actress, Katy Jurado. Katy was from Mexico and not yet fluent in English, so she had to learn the role phonetically. The name of the Hero, played by Gary Cooper, had to be changed to Will Kane because Katy could not pronounce the original name.
Tex Ritter performed the opening aria, about 2 minutes long. Much of his art work is remembered today only by Connoisseurs, but this two minutes work is enough to place him among the Immortals remembered by both the movie and western music loving public.
The most unforgettable scene, courtesy of Director Fred zinnemann, starts out with a close-up of Gary Cooper, very much alone in the dusty street; and, then the camera shot fades into the distance to emphasize that our hero must face a deadly killer and his three co-villains all alone without help from any of the other citizens of the town.
Note that Lee Van Cleff, who plays the most menacing looking of the three villains waiting for the Noon Train that brings their leader does not speak a single word during the entire movie.

Classic story about human failings

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

The story is very simple, but the film is unusual in lasting just about as long as the events taking place on the screen. Gary Cooper is stalwart, and the interplay between the good, virginal white bride (Grace Kelly) and the former girlfriend of the Cooper characters (a Mexican actress) is also interesting but should have gone further. When the town's people fail to support Sheriff Cooper in stopping the take-over of the town by 3 thugs, Cooper seems to lose even his wife's affection and may lose his life in fighting the evil. Everyone tries to convince him to run away, but he doesn't. What happens when people think evil should be met with complacency?

The All-Time Finest Western

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

High Noon distills everything a proper western morality tale requires and plays it out linearly in real time. As such there’s no need for in-depth character exploration as it is simply will a righteous man who is (nearly) alone prevail against the evil that surely comes. It indicts spinelessness as the story unfolds to great effect resulting in a classic climax. Gary Cooper is perfection in his humanity wrestling with the lack of support and own fears. He does the right thing which is anything but easy which the mounting tension plays to perfection. The ending is nigh perfect in simplicity as no words need be spoken. It is the perfect western movie as such. with few equals no matter how extravagant the production. The genre may be visited again and again but this is the standard.

For a 1952 movie this 2008 DVD Cinema Universal Classic print of High Noon is terrific.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

Right! this isn't a review on the movie because in my opinion High Noon is without doubt a stone wall masterpiece in the Western genre. This is a review on the DVD. I have to severely shake my head in total bewilderedment in a few of my fellow amazon reviewers opinions when discussing the condition of this print. The print I've got is the 2008 reprint of High Noon - Cinema Universal Classics. And to me the print is perfect, there's NO rips, tears, scratches of any kind when talking about this print. The spectrum of blacks and whites throughout this Black & White movie are very, very good. Secondly, the English Mono Audio track throughout the film is very clear and crisp.

This edition of High Noon may not be as exquisitely gorgeous as say the DVD Collectors Edition of Sunset Boulevard which was totally and utterly amazingly good for a film released way back in 1950 film, but for my eyes this particular edition of High Noon (2008 DVD Edition) is very, very good.

O' I have got a Bluray player but certain films you just can't get a reasonably priced - English speaking edition which may or may not guarantee you a immaculate picture as well as terrific sound production. So reluctantly I have to hope I get a reasonably happy print of the movie on DVD.

For instance my DVD copy of The Big Heat (1953) another Black & White movie is totally terrible with scratches, rips, tears you name it, it is BAD. But because at present you can't get a reasonably priced bluray edition of The Big Heat you just have to put up with a unsatisfactory copy of a movie that you love.

Anyway, back to High Noon. In a nutshell my opinion on the 2008 Cinema Universal Classic Edition of High Noon is it's well worth purchasing if a quality print is what you'll after.

I hope this review of the DVD has helped.

Still grips and entertains.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2020

I don't often dress a film with 5 Stars when I personally find it has flaws such as a less than perfect picture quality, less than perfect acting, cinematography that sometimes looks a bit flat. However this was made in 1952 in black & white and the central performance from Gary Cooper is outstanding and more than compensates for the flaws of the film, not least of which is the casting of Grace Kelly as the beautiful wife of Cooper who is old enough to be her father both in appearance and in real life (Kelly in her early 20's, and Cooper in his early 50's).

That aside the plot of the film is the heart of the film and resonates. Not the tough guy, not the fast gunman, not in the usual macho image of other cowboy heroes played by countless big stars of the the western genre, Cooper is about to be faced by four killers, gunmen with history, and he pleads for help from the townspeople as he knows he may not be up to the task --- how honest in a western, and Cooper's role would have been spat at by the likes of Wayne, Murphy, Scott et al. Throughout Cooper is uncertain, afraid, reluctant but refuses to run and will face his demons unaided. A real solid performance from Cooper who made the character very believable and probably left many Americans wondering and uncomfortable with a western that appeared to examine the psychology of the characters and wasn't the usual shoot 'em up style that was the staple diet of the genre.

Ideas from the film have been stolen by many, perhaps notably by Leone who made a film within a film using the sequence of the three gunmen waiting for the fourth at the railway station in 'Once Upon A Time In The West'. Perhaps Eastwood borrowed the idea of a town full of cowards and making the townsfolk paint their town red in 'High Plains Drifter'. Cooper settled for throwing his badge into the dust.
Directed by Fred Zinnemann who made many very good films not least of which was 'Day Of The Jackal', a particular favourite of mine. Music by Dimitri Tiomkin, another classic score by a man who knew how to make music tell a story.

My copy states it is digitally mastered, not perfect to my mind but it may depend on the source material as happens so often. English subtitles, a few extras that include a 24 minute documentary, film run time 85 minutes. It is yet another production that is still available in over a dozen variants of the disc format and continues to garner reviews, mostly positive.

The Highest Noon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great film. Gary Cooper is magnificent in his role as retiring Marshall Will Kane and dominates the entire film, even including his very beautiful co-star Grace Kelly. It was fortunate that John Wayne for political reasons turned the central role down. Although very good in a certain type of western film 'High Noon' requires a hero full of inner conflict and doubt rather than a macho super cowboy type.

There is very little action until the last ten minutes or so. Until then we have Cooper attempting to persuade various townspeople to join him to fight against the newly released Frank Miller and his gang. Various rationalizations follow justifying the inaction of the 'law abiding' citizens. Nevertheless the build up of tension is relentless and in the end Kane's Quaker wife helps him to kill the Miller gang abandoning her own pacifist principles and possibly her religion in the process.

Directed by Fred Zimmerman this is an 'existential' western that also has a touch of Greek tragedy despite the ostensibly happy ending. In every way a wonderful film.

'IS THIS A TOWN REALLY WORTH DYING FOR ?'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This 1952 Classic set the bar for what was yet to come -
'Marshall Will Kane' (Gary Cooper) had cleaned up 'Hadleyville' (a small town in New Mexico territory) down the years making it
a safe place to live, he is now set to retire and start a new life in another town with his new-bride 'Amy' (Grace Kelly) as the
ceremony and celebration conclude three riders come into town 'Ben Miller' (Sheb Wooley) , 'Jack Colby' (Lee Van Cleef) and
'Jim Pierce' (Robert J Wilke) they are there to meet the noon train on which is 'Frank Miller' (Ian MacDonald)
'Will' had arrested 'Frank' some five years or so back, the vicious killer had been sentenced for a life-term in jail but had been
released early and is returning to 'Hadleyville' with revenge in mind.
When this news reaches the wedding party, 'Will' and 'Amy's' friends urge them to leave town immediately to start their new-life
together before the train arrives in little over an hours time.
The three that wait for 'Frank Miller' are members of his old gang.
'Will' and 'Amy' set off, however a short way into the journey 'Will' pulls up the carriage, he just can't leave the town open to the
will of 'Frank Miller' and his side-kicks, the new Marshall doesn't arrive until tomorrow.
Back in town 'Will' is confident that he'll be able to raise a posse, he has many friends in town many of whom had stood with him
during troubled times in years gone by.
However, even his deputy 'Harvey Pell' (Lloyd Bridges) throws in his badge upset that he'd not been appointed 'Will's' replacement,
and his so-called friends refuse to join in the fight.
'Will's' new bride not wanting to see her husband killed decides she'll leave town on the noon train 'Frank' is arriving on, the judge
that convicted the killer is also set to leave town.
'Will' must question why he has returned, is it to protect those that refuse to help, is it because if the fight isn't finished now, 'Frank'
will only hunt him down, or is it pride ?
Because the three gunmen are at the station waiting, 'Amy' goes back into town to await the train joining 'Frank's' former lover
'Helen Ramirez' ( Katy Jurado) who also intends leaving on the train..
'Will' waits alone for the noon train and the inevitable show-down.
This a tension-filled affair as the hour leading up to noon ticks slowly by
A rousing conclusion to the film as 'Will' faces the four gunmen.
Many of the stars included in the film are seen in many of the memorable westerns that follow this classic.
Filmed and presented in Black and White with a 4.3 picture ratio.

High Noon, 1952 (2008 Republic Pictures release) - THE classic Western

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

Much imitated but never equalled, this is the classic Western of all time. We all know the story - the Marshall of a small town is alerted that a gang of ruthless killers are out to get him. He could flee but decides to stay and fight it out, relying on the support of the towns folk that he has faithfully and bravely protected for many years. But his faith is misplaced and he has to go into battle alone.

This is really a suspense thriller as much as a Western. Filmed almost in real time, we follow events from the moment the Marshall gets the warning through to the final thrilling shootout. Director Zinneman and star Cooper bring the fear and determination of Kane, as he tries to rally support and makes his preparations, to the screen vividly. Also nicely done is the character aspect as one after another the town's folk back away from Kane, with a variety of explanations and sophistries. Stand out is Thomas Mitchell (who won an Oscar for his portrayal of the drunkard Doctor in Stagechoach), Kane's friend who manages to desert him whilst giving the appearance of supporting him. It's masterful. Then there is Kane's wife, who he married only that day, who is a committed pacifist and cannot understand why Kane must stay and fight. The way her character grows as the film progresses is central to the piece, and done superbly.

The final show down is simply iconic. The shot of Cooper walking alone through the deserted streets, in his instantly recognisable black waistcoat and tin star, as he walks towards what he knows must be his own death is one of the most powerful scenes in film.

The score from Dimitri Tiomkin is especially worthy of praise. There are two main motif's, the song `Don't forsake me', sung by Tex Ritter and which appears throughout the film, and the score emphasising the ticking of the clock as time marches towards Noon and the arrival of the train with the head of the gang aboard. These work well to emphasise the building tension, and the loneliness of a man willing to stand up for right.

This DVD release has a nice and clean picture transfer, which looks pretty sharp. It is a 4:3 aspect ratio with a mono sound track. There are no extras. It's a pretty decent release of a classic film, highly recommended.
