An old nemesis is due on the noon train, and his gang is in town to meet him. The inaction of the town is a thinly disguised parable of The Cold War, with the U.S.

Gary Cooper is great in this tightly-packed revenge western. Newly married to "Amy" (the sparingly used although effective Grace Kelly) he has decided to stop being the town marshal and live a more peaceful life. It's on that very day, however, that he discovers that the outlaw "Miller" (Ian MacDonald), whom he sent to jail years earlier has been released and is heading back on the noon train to settle some old scores.

This takes me back. it brought back the feeling of visually adequate but rarely striking. Your mileage may vary on this one.

There's many an essay on High Noon and the links to Senator Joe McCarthy, HUAC etc etc, so really I have no interest in going there. He, rightly so, felt to do that would be unfair and dampen the huge significance of his wonderful movie. Instead I think it's essentially fitting to say that Zinnermann himself always resisted talking in terms of allegorical interpretations for his film.
