#20: High Noon (1952)

Thrillseekers: Holding out for a hero

Show Notes

Sadly still applicable: We stand with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA It’s a whole different vibe this week as we move from a film with no heroes to a film with one of the prototypical heroes of Hollywood with Gary Cooper starring in 1952’s High Noon. Unable to walk away for multiple reasons and surrounded by surprising and remarkably well-drawn women, Cooper’s Marshal Will Kane is faced with the ultimate sacrifice as he is let down by everyone in his life. We talk about bravery, real-time, and what a badass Mrs. Ramirez is.
