High Noon/ Gary Cooper

Movie Screens and DVDs

The wild west is genuinely and uniquely American. The movie westerns told wonderful stories and cast wonderful actors and actresses to portray our western heritage. Of these movies, the best was HIGH NOON (1952). The movie won four Academy Awards: Gary Cooper (Icon) won for Best Actor; Best Song "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin' sung by Tex Ritter (Icon); Best Music Score; Best Film Editing. The editing in this picture could not be more perfectly done. Gary Cooper is magnificent in his role as Marshall Will Kane...one of those times when no one else could have done it any better.
