Classic Film Guide

High Noon (1952)

Shown in real time, surely a challenge for director Fred Zinnemann, this Gary Cooper classic also stars Grace Kelly and a terrific supporting cast. "Coop" won his second Best Actor Oscar on his fifth (and final) nomination playing Will Kane (AFI's #5 hero). The film also won for Editing, Musical Score, and Song ("Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin'" - #25 on AFI's 100 Top Movie Songs of All Time). The film, director Zinnemann, and its Writing were also nominated. Added to the National Film Registry in 1989. #33 on AFI's 100 Greatest Movies list. #20 on AFI's Most Heart-Pounding Movies list. #10 on AFI's Top 25 Film Scores list. #27 on AFI's 100 Most Inspiring Movies list.
