Some of the results ring false, but the memorable theme song and some equally memorable character acting (by Thomas Mitchell and Lon Chaney Jr. more than Lloyd Bridges and Katy Jurado) help things along.

The Western may be one of the few truly American art forms, and High Noon shows exactly how much potential it can embrace.
