High Noon

High Noon was released in 1952. It is not your typical western though. Most westerns did not have a main story to them. They would be mostly just shooting which meant this was new to the western scene.
High Noon is one of those westerns that are filled with suspense. While watching High Noon you could feel the suspense of the scene coming on because of the type of music that was playing. Although there was one song that they kept playing over and over again. The song was Do Not Forsake Me, My Darling by Tex Ritter. It was quite catchy and every time it would come on I would get drawn in by its old western sound. It almost makes me wanna cry for some reason.
High Noon is one of those westerns that are actually not that bad to watch since they have a story line to it.
Back in the day I'm sure High Noon was "Da Bomb" so to speak. It was a revelation to how westerns were portrayed. Never before had there been more of a story compared to just shooting with good VS. bad. The extra story lines gave this movie an extra twist. You wanted to know what was going to happen between Mr. and Mrs. Kane and whether or not all we turn out well.
For this movie I would have to give it 4 gunslingers out of 5. I believe that is a great western plus it has a catchy tune. I recommend watching it if you are a fan of westerns.
