High Noon high on my list.
No self respecting collector of the western classic film genre should be without this cd. It ranks right up there with She wore a yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Lonesome Dove, Bend in the River, Unforgiven, and Tombstone to name a few. Gary Cooper is at his best since his performance in Seargent York.

Amazon DVD High Noon

Very Satisfied
I was very pleased with my order from this seller. I received it promptly and in better condition then was described. I will buy again from this seller.

The quintessential western with deeper meaning
This is the quintessential western with a subtle but unmistakable reference to the bullying techniques of McCarthyism. One man stands alone in the face of intimidation because those who should be his friends fear to share in his fate. This is the common-man, Gary Cooper, at his best and most noble. A must have for any video collection.

The Gunman is Coming
First of all, I have seen High Noon but not this particular DVD so I can't comment on the special features. The film itself is a pretty interesting concept for a western. Gary Cooper plays a local sheriff who learns he will soon be facing a quartet of armed outlaws when the final one arrives on the noon locomotive. Grace Kelly plays his wife who happens to be a pacifist. Other performers include Katy Jurado and Lon Chaney Jr. As time ticks down, Cooper attepmts to get others in the town to join him but ultimately no one is willing. The film plays out essentially in real time on a single day and there are no gunfights until the final shootout. Overall though, the suspense and acting actually build up to the final scenes. Overall, a pretty good western.
