Title: The Ultimate Showdown Western and one of The Best Ever!
Review: No other western reaches this level of suspense in such little time. Gary Cooper is perfect as Marshall Kane who stands tall and alone against a bunch of outlaws. Grace Kelly, Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Bridges, Katy Jurado and Lon Chaney Jr. are all excellent in support. Fred Zinneman directs this one in 'real time', repeatedly showing us faces of clocks to remind us that the showdown will begin at noon, this elevates the tension and suspense. The last shootout is also memorable. Dimitri Tiomkin's score is one of the greats and his song; 'Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling' is the best theme song of any western. One of the all time greats. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 10!
