One of the best films by director Fred Zinnemann (\u003ci\u003eFrom Here to Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e) — and produced by Stanley Kramer — \u003ci\u003eHigh Noon\u003c\/i\u003e is riveting entertainment and an acknowledged American masterpiece, yet one with surprisingly tumultuous roots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIn his Oscar-winning performance, Gary Cooper stars as small town Marshal Will Kane, preparing to retire and leave town with his young bride Amy (Grace Kelly). However, plans are derailed with the impending arrival of outlaw Frank and his brutal gang. Unfolding in real time, \u003ci\u003eHigh Noon\u003c\/i\u003e follows Will as he futilely tries to assemble a posse with the reluctant townspeople, who want Will to forget about a conflict — as does Amy, a Quaker pacifist who just wants to avoid violence. But as high noon approaches, Will realises he must do the moral thing…with or without help.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhile the film has become a favourite of U.S. presidents from Eisenhower and Reagan to Clinton, its release was controversial: John Wayne (who had turned down the role) and Howard Hawks hated it, precisely because it was viewed as a thinly veiled allegory for the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings investigating communism at the time. Its politics make it even more intriguing now, but regardless, \u003ci\u003eHigh Noon\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most important — and gripping films — of the 1950s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 pl-md-5 product-features-column\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-sku=\"EKA70379\" data-display=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K Digital Restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive audio commentary by historian Glenn Frankel, author of High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive audio commentary by western authority Stephen Prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo interview with film historian Neil Sinyard, author of Fred Zinnemann: Films of Character and Conscience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 1969 audio interview with writer Carl Foreman from the National Film Theatre in London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Making of ‘High Noon’ [22 mins]– a documentary on the making of the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside ‘High Noon’ [47 mins] and Behind ‘High Noon’ [10 mins] – two video pieces on the making and context of the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheatrical Trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EUREKA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46480020406446,"sku":"EKA70379","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/HighNoon-lime-light-BD.jpg?v=1751295927","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/high-noon-masters-of-cinema-blu-ray-standard-edition-reissue","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
