TORONTONY Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 ......Yep! JW was in that film directed by JF But what was his reason to say "High Noon " was the most un-American film? Stagecoach was as famous as High Noon, that was Ford and Wayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishall Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 According to one web site, it was because the male characters fell short of the ideals of the Old West i.e. they were obviously scared & declined to help the sheriff who was himself frightened. Also at the end of the film the sheriff, or is it Marshall, tears off his madge & treads it into the dust, thus showing contempt for authority. John Wayne could never have played the lead as the outcome would have been a certainty! Bravery isn't the absence of fear, it's doing something despite that fear, that is what JW perhaps missed. Treading the badge into the dust is showing his disillusionment for those who didn't have the courage to overcome their fears and do the right thing, doing a sheriff's job requires the back up of the community at large. Here endeth the lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
