Friday Night Last Call - High Noon; 70th Anniversary Watch Party
In 1952 Stanley Kramer produced an American Western film from a screenplay by Carl Foreman, directed by Fred Zinnemann, and starring Gary Cooper. Now, 70 years later, we are going to revisit this classic.
Though mired in controversy at the time of its release due to its political themes, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won four (Actor, Editing, Score and Song) as well as four Golden Globe Awards (Actor, Supporting Actress, Score, and Black and White Cinematography). The award-winning score was written by Russian-born composer Dimitri Tiomkin.
High Noon was selected by the Library of Congress as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 1989, the NFR's first year of existence. An iconic film whose story has been partly or completely repeated in later film productions, its ending in particular has inspired numerous later films, including but not just limited to westerns.
Our guest bartender tonight is regular channel contributor, @Ser Torrhen Clegane , who suggested this rewatch.
