Walter Brennan was splendid. so was gorgeous Angie Dickinson.<br /><br />Wayne, et al, didn't like High Noon because the hero asked for help from the town people instead of handling the crisis alone; and because his Quaker bride saves his life at one point. Hawks and Wayne thought that was sissy stuff. <br /><br />But High Noon is the deeper, richer, more powerful film, precisely for those reasons. Cooper's hero is actually larger, finding the courage to do his job when he would be well advised to flee; getting help from the least expected source. If Wayne's hero were mythical, Cooper's was a real person rising to the occasion. <br /><br />Richard WheelerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-16532641791926919302009-05-05T21:46:00.000-05:002009-05-05T21:46:00.000-05:00A great movie and a damn good apazine.A great movie and a damn good apazine.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-36622540415696648482009-05-05T09:37:00.000-05:002009-05-05T09:37:00.000-05:00I didn't realize Leo Grin was a fan of the movie.I didn't realize Leo Grin was a fan of the movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-5299808439363098412009-05-05T09:34:00.000-05:002009-05-05T09:34:00.000-05:00RIO BRAVO is one of the all-time greats, and this ...RIO BRAVO is one of the all-time greats, and this is one of the best articles I've read about it.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-29072515277366331192009-05-05T09:07:00.000-05:002009-05-05T09:07:00.000-05:00It is a great article.
