It has flaws. For one thing, Gary Cooper was a little too old for the part---or Grace Kelly was too young, take your pick. He had almost thirty full years on her, and in some close shots it really shows. But I guess stranger things have happened. It just doesn't happen too much when the older man isn't named Trump lol.

Great movie. My favorite western is still "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral." It's probably an inferior film, and they took A LOT of liberties with the real-life story. But there's just something about Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster together that brings it all together for me.

I prefer the Italian made westerns.More violent and much more complex storytelling.

Binni he does have a daughter in the business. He was not a real dancer he was a gymnast. he took dancing lessons before the movie was shot. There was no gymnastics in the original play.


Or in the movie during the filming of the movie. Tamblyn asked that it be put in and was told no. Then Tony Modante who was a dancer one of the jets and choreographer took over the choreography in the movie and told Russ yes.

Then they had a new Broadway production of West side story. Russ went to see it and it had the gymnastics in it. After the play Russ asked the lead about it. He told him to get the part the actor had to do gymnastics.

Kelly and Cooper had quite the notorious affair while making High Noon, so I guess if your name is Cooper it happens too wink



I'm with the above poster that mentioned Lonesome Dove. My absolute favorite western.

I just watched a promo for High Noon. I haven't watched it in years. It's definitely in my top ten. It's one heck of a film.

I don't like westerns - or old movies in general - so I am going to say Unforgiven by process of elimination.
