They Don't Call Them Classics For Nothing




I'm a bit ashamed to admit this, but I had never seen High Noon until now. High Noon stars (dignity personified) Gary Cooper as Will Kane, the marshall in a town under siege. It also includes a very young Lloyd Bridges, beautiful as always Grace Kelly, and the eternally villainous Lee Van Cleef. When I was a kid, two of my favorite films were Sergeant York and The Pride of the Yankees - both films featured Gary Cooper, who I looked up to as a hero. Wow, it is fantastic! Check it out, you won't be sorry!
