Cinema Termite Presents: High Noon (original 1952 version)

High Noon is a 1952 American Western film. Many people saw High Noon as a veiled threat against McCarthyism, with the cowardly townspeople representing those who failed to stand up against injustice during the Hollywood blacklist and beyond. For Wayne and Hawks, both strong anti-communists and supporters of the blacklist, this allegory was deeply offensive.
