content: Fred Zinnemann(the Director) started a new type of western film when he made "High Noon." "Unforgiven","Tombstone",and "Shane", were products of this film. The frustration of waiting an hour before a gun fight, the love story, and the classic camera shot of four men walking down an empty road, were scenes and plots that were introduced from this film. Gary Cooper definitely deserved his Oscar because of his complex portrayal of this frightened brave man. The film also stars one of Hollywood's most beloved and prolific actors, Lloyd Bridges and marks the first starring role for a beautiful young actress and internationally adored screen legend, Grace Kelly. I love this film and I hope it will be loved by many fans in the future.I recommend this film to anyone who loves westerns.
