high noon on the waterfront

Too short (even for a short) to be of much use to anyone. Still, there is an interesting irony to be savored, namely that the actor who portrays Carl Foreman's beau ideal of the Lone Courageous Man, Gary Cooper, was in real life a namer of films, if not names, before the House Un American Activities Committee. This tiny film is also a timely reminder of the large truth that the better person is not always the better artist. In other words, I would rather my daughter marry Carl Foreman but I would gladly trade ten "Guns Of Navarone" and twenty "High Noons" for one "Wild River" or "Splendor In The Grass". C plus.
