High Noon (1952)

High Noon is a 1952 western film which tells the story of a town marshal who is forced to face a gang of killers by himself.

The movie was written by John W. Cunningham (story) and Carl Foreman, based on a pulp short story, The Tin Star. It was directed by Fred Zinnemann. Zinnemann himself was highly influenced by the books of Karl May, which he had read as a child. Writer Carl Foreman was also the producer of the film, but he was uncredited as he had been blacklisted by the MPAA after having been summoned to appear before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Kane and his wife leave town; however, Kane has a crisis of conscience and turns back. He reclaims his badge and tries to swear in deputies to back him up against Miller and his three gang members, but as time goes on, it becomes clear that no one is willing to get involved. Many want Kane to go away, hoping that with him gone, the Miller gang will not cause any trouble. Even his deputy, Harvey Pell (Lloyd Bridges), refuses to help. Only his former lover, an implied madam named Helen Ramírez (Katy Jurado), supports him, but there is little she can do to help. His wife threatens to leave on the noon train without him if he stays, but he stubbornly refuses to give in.

In the end, Kane is forced to face down the four gunmen by himself. He guns down two of Miller's men. Helen Ramirez has left town with the same train Miller had arrived on, but Amy, who had boarded the train with her, leaves again when she hears the sound of gunfire. Amy chooses her husband's life over her religious beliefs and kills the third gunman by shooting him in the back. Miller then takes her hostage and offers to trade her for Kane. Kane agrees, coming out into the open. Amy, however, struggles with Miller, clawing his face, which causes him to release her. Kane then shoots and kills Miller. In front of the cowardly townspeople who have come out of hiding, Kane contemptuously throws his Marshal's Star in the dirt and leaves town with his wife.
