Inside “High Noon” a documentary on the movie

[Jersey mike]

This movie is still one of my favorites, will I watch the documentary I don’t know right now. This article makes it sound just so-so.

Sorry for link, it’s not the best of websites.

“ It takes courage to do the right thing.

That's what Sheriff Will Kane, played by Gary Cooper, learns in the 1952 Western classic "High Noon."

And it's what Cooper learned behind the scenes — by playing himself.

Few people at the time can have been aware that Cooper, off camera, was enacting a drama that weirdly paralleled the story of the film.

"He really did risk his career," said West Milford producer Richard Zampella, whose documentary "Inside High Noon," directed by John Mulholland, will debut on PBS in April. It's available for streaming now.

I do like the movie "High Noon" and Gary Cooper as an actor.   

I may or may not watch the documentary on PBS but I did scan the information in the link. 

I wonder how many other actors/actresses in that time frame had similar lives. The article seems to address this.

I did forget that the song "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin'," sung by Tex Ritter was the theme song.

Have not heard it in a while.

Worthy of note.

I just watched High Noon. Some of the time Gary Cooper reminds me
of Rodney Dangerfield.

"High Noon" was controversial at the time because it portrayed average Americans as cowards.
