When it was ultimately released, High Noon was seen by some as an attack on the House Un-American Activities Committee (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee" target="_blank">HUAC</a>) -- the US government's investigation into subversive activities by citizens who were accused of having fascist or communist ties. At least half-a-dozen people involved in the production were blacklisted; among them, screenwriter <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0286025/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1" target="_blank">Carl Foreman</a> and cinematographer Floyd Crosby. <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000011/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1" target="_blank">Gary Cooper</a> put his career on the line for Foreman during and after production, hailing him as "The finest kind of American." INSIDE HIGH NOON delves into that history and explores the film itself: why it has aroused controversy among critics, how its treatment of women and masculinity was ahead of its time, and why High Noon has come to be seen as a masterpiece of American cinema.</span></span></span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">"High Noon was an independent, low budget, black and white movie that became engulfed in the blacklist," Mulholland says about what interested him in making the documentary. "I found it fascinating that this conservative movie star Gary Cooper publicly stood up for the blacklisted screenwriter Carl Foreman. He refused to cave to John Wayne and the other anti-Communists."</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">The film also touches on the parallels between High Noon and modern American politics. "I find that America has a civic complacency going on," writer-director Mulholland says. "Democracy is so fragile. It's merely words on paper unless people stand up to defend it. To me, so many Republicans in the House and Senate are like the citizens of Hadleyville. They are looking the other way, backing away, refusing to acknowledge the dangers of the moment."</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">Narrated by award-winning actor Matthew Rhys (The Americans), the documentary weaves together clips from High Noon and analysis and commentary from Tim Zinneman (son of director Fred Zinneman), Jonathan Foreman (son of screenwriter Carl Foreman), Crown <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_II,_Prince_of_Monaco" target="_blank">Prince Albert of Monaco</a> (Grace Kelly's son), Maria Cooper (Gary Cooper's daughter), <a href="https://www.clintonlibrary.gov/visit-us/contact-us" target="_blank">President Bill Clinton</a>, and many film critics and historians.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;">2022 marked the 70th anniversary of the release of <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044706/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">High Noon</a>.

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">HIGH NOON was hailed upon its release in 1952 as an instant classic. It won several Academy Awards, including one for its legendary star, Gary Cooper. It was named the year's best picture by the New York Film Critics Society. And yet, even though it's high on the American Film Institute's 100 Best Films of the Century, HIGH NOON's respect has been hard won, indeed. Perhaps no other classic film has had such a rocky road as this "simple little western."<br /><br />Decried by influential auteurist critics and academics, HIGH NOON has been attacked for being untrue to the western genre - read anti-populist; for being "middle-brow" (whatever that might mean); for being social drama hiding behind the western genre - and muddled social drama, at that; for being the most un-American film ever made (courtesy of John Wayne), etc.<br /><br />However, 56 years after its release, HIGH NOON still powerfully resonates with audiences around the world. When Solidarity needed a universal image to promote democracy and the right to vote in Poland in 1987, they chose Gary Cooper in HIGH NOON, a ballot in his hand rather than a gun. Conservatives and liberals both manage to cite HIGH NOON on the floor of Congress as a metaphor for their competing political ideals. Political cartoonists and headline writers inevitably use HIGH NOON as reference for countless crises. President Eisenhower cited High Noon as his favorite film, as have President Clinton and former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizuma.<br /><br />On one hand, HIGH NOON has been attacked for being a conservative, damaging portrait of arrogant male paternalism. On the other hand, HIGH NOON is praised for challenging entrenched notions of gender, for exploring masculine anxiety, masculinity as a construct. Feminist critics and academics are offering intriguing and complex new readings to HIGH NOON.<br /><br />Example: Amy Fowler (Grace Kelly) is having her new husband, Marshall Will Kane (Cooper), quit his career, leave his town, leave his friends, marry outside his church, and open a store of her choosing (wearing, perhaps, an apron?). Does Will Kane take on the villains at noon as a final gasp of masculine protest, as a declaration of independence from his wife's control?<br /><br />Ernest Hemingway compared a story's meaning to an iceberg - like the iceberg, 7/8th of which lies hidden beneath the surface, 7/8th of a story's meaning lies beneath the surface.<br /><br />Carl Foreman's bare-to-the-bones script and Fred Zinnemann's equally spare direction are a perfect film correlative to Hemingway's iceberg theory. This taut, seemingly straightforward little suspense western is complex, multi-layered, and perhaps even more relevant today than when it opened 56 years ago.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.johnmulhollandnyc.com/" target="_blank">John Mulholland, writer/director</a><br />INSIDE HIGH NOON</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sony execs
should have watched High Noon before responding so cravenly to the hack
attacks. They’d have known better than to cut and run. In the classic film, the
town’s legal authority, the Judge -- who is advising Marshal Will Kane to cut
and run – says: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“this is just a dirty
little village in the middle of nowhere, nothing that happens here is really important.”</i>
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Will Kane,
who does <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> cut and run, knows
better. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">All the other
Hollywood studios – every single one -- Sony’s alleged creative partners, who also
cut like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“craven cowards,”</i> refusing
to stand up for Sony, should have watched High Noon, too. As Helen Ramirez says
to her ex-lover, the deputy Harvey Pell: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“…
Kane will be dead in half an hour, and nobody is going to do anything about it
… and when he dies, this town dies, too.”</i> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unlike Sony,
Helen Ramirez understood what makes a democracy work; understood why a
democracy works.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In acceding
to the demands of the hackers -- in cutting and running -- Sony execs have made
it sadly clear that they do <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i>
understand what makes a democracy work. Because what happens to one single film
studio in Hollywood – “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">this dirty little
village”</i> – matters, indeed. </span></span></div>

It won several Academy Awards, including one for its legendary star, Gary Cooper. It was named the year's best picture by the New York Film Critics Society. And yet, even though it's high on the American Film Institute's 100 Best Films of the Century, HIGH NOON's respect has been hard won, indeed. Perhaps no other classic film has had such a rocky road as this "simple little western."<br /><br />Decried by influential auteurist critics and academics, HIGH NOON has been attacked for being untrue to the western genre - read anti-populist; for being "middle-brow" (whatever that might mean); for being social drama hiding behind the western genre - and muddled social drama, at that; for being the most un-American film ever made (courtesy of John Wayne), etc.<br /><br />However, 56 years after its release, HIGH NOON still powerfully resonates with audiences around the world. When Solidarity needed a universal image to promote democracy and the right to vote in Poland in 1987, they chose Gary Cooper in HIGH NOON, a ballot in his hand rather than a gun. Conservatives and liberals both manage to cite HIGH NOON on the floor of Congress as a metaphor for their competing political ideals. Political cartoonists and headline writers inevitably use HIGH NOON as reference for countless crises. President Eisenhower cited High Noon as his favorite film, as have President Clinton and former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizuma.<br /><br />On one hand, HIGH NOON has been attacked for being a conservative, damaging portrait of arrogant male paternalism. On the other hand, HIGH NOON is praised for challenging entrenched notions of gender, for exploring masculine anxiety, masculinity as a construct. Feminist critics and academics are offering intriguing and complex new readings to HIGH NOON.<br /><br />Example: Amy Fowler (Grace Kelly) is having her new husband, Marshall Will Kane (Cooper), quit his career, leave his town, leave his friends, marry outside his church, and open a store of her choosing (wearing, perhaps, an apron?). Does Will Kane take on the villains at noon as a final gasp of masculine protest, as a declaration of independence from his wife's control?<br /><br />Ernest Hemingway compared a story's meaning to an iceberg - like the iceberg, 7/8th of which lies hidden beneath the surface, 7/8th of a story's meaning lies beneath the surface.<br /><br />Carl Foreman's bare-to-the-bones script and Fred Zinnemann's equally spare direction are a perfect film correlative to Hemingway's iceberg theory. This taut, seemingly straightforward little suspense western is complex, multi-layered, and perhaps even more relevant today than when it opened over 60 years ago.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mulholland_%28director%29" target="_blank">John Mulholland</a>, writer/director<br />INSIDE HIGH NOON</b></span><br />

<br />
‘Inside High Noon’ encompasses the film’s creation and value in a tightly edited fifty minutes. The behind the scenes tale is told, but at least half the Frank Langella narrated documentary is devoted to the film’s importance in the greater pantheon. There’s a lot of focus on the film’s political subtext (the film is listed as both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush’s favourite), but there’s also plenty of focus on the craft and achievements of every major member of the cast and crew. Since very few of the original players are around to offer up their humility, there’s a slight smugness to the doc’s assured knowledge that the film is important, but the interviewees, including the children of the stars and crew, and Bill Clinton, who knows a whole heck of a lot about the film, verging almost on a fanboy enthusiasm. Written & Directed by John Mulholland. Produced by <a href="http://www.richardzampella.com/" target="_blank">Richard Zampella</a>.<br />
