I just found out something, you can find many movies for free online but simply googleing "name of movie watch online". There are many sites that will link you to uploaded movies like "High Noon". I have it playing in another tab right now. However, I tried "The Sons of Katie Elder", started out beautiful, the train, the river, then Dean Martin started talking in French. I found an English version on another site very quickly though.
I love how this song is about shooting a guy. Not just any guy, but a guy named Frank Miller specifically. If this wasn't the old west, the song's basically a confession. It's like posting about it on Facebook today.
@IwshIcldstrtover *lol* Well, you seem to be the "Great Commander"! Pardon me, but I am not interested in your opinion. Along the way: I have posted what I wanted to post. It´s not my problem if you don´t like it!
I'm thankful I saw this movie as a boy and didn't have a clue about any political undertones.
I saw it simply as a story of a brave man facing criminals and with the help of a woman ,who
in the end realized she loved him enough to put aside her religious beliefs, saved his life.A clear example of loyalty and devotion.I loved Tex Ritter's singing,the cast,the endless tension and the triumph of good over evil.It's a classic film which we don't see anymore.Pity.
Enough of this Lee Van Cleef idolatry! He didn't die early, for heaven 's sake. He died 35 years after this came out.
How about some props for the late Harry Morgan? He played one of the bigger creeps among the townsmen. The way he berated that poor, innocent wife, and made her lie to Coop's face. A good portrayal of a hateful man.
@Foxtrot323 Type "Primus Lee Van Cleef" in the search box here on YouTube and watch/listen to their new song "Lee Van Cleef". It says "Everybody likes watchin' Clint, Everybody wants to be like Clint, There will never be another Clint, but I like watchin' Lee Van Cleef, whatever happened to Lee?"
@ferstuck37 I checked a Lee died Dec 16th 1989 at age 64 of a heat attack as you said. And yes he is buried in the LA area. Said he had over 100 black hat roles in western film and TV roles.
What I think separates this version of the song from all the rest is its drums.
Real authentic sounding drums and beat. Not a lot of recorded music before or since gives one the impression that the sound of the drums in this song gives of the old pioneering West.
The rest of the song, and the movie, are sublime.
May this tale never grow old, because it's still revelant today. I'd personally hate to see the day when the values put down on this film are disposed and discreditted.
not sure how they did it, but in the beginning of Clint Eastwood's: High Plains Drifter, when he's riding into town.. his horse makes that same shuffling sound with it's hooves
Just watched this film. I really enjoyed it! I like how it took place in real time. That was clever! This song is pretty awesome, too. I might put it on my iPod later.
A lot of people out there will agree that this movie was the greatest wetsern of all time. I dont really agree though, the gunfight wasnt that amazing. The story up to the gunfight was great, dont get me wrong, I loved that part, just the shooting could be improed.
A lot of people think Lee van Cleef was a Mexican actor, but in reality he was a Dutch / Indonesian actor.
Movies were far better back then. Now it's all about special effects and stuf. For example: a movie like Avatar is nice to see in 3D, but a movie like 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' won't be defeated by time. It will last for ever and it is still one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time! :D
@WorldWar2Boy avatar will last forever. it brought in a new technology into films that others are now using, and plus its one of the tops grossing films of all time.
How did I miss seeing this film back in '52? i was just thirteen and remember hearing of this iconic film at the time. Guess I was otherwise employed! Naw, I got my first "summer job" in 1954 at the family constuction firm "Pigott Construction". It's motto was "Pigott's, Where Construction is a Career!" The "Pigott Building"(18 stories tall) was built in 1929, the first skyscraper in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, two years before the Empire State was built! I started at 70 cents an hour that year!
This is an awesome opening and sets the pace so well for this great movie. I never thought Lee Van Cleef was one of the most handsome actors, but he was certainly a hunk (see him in Barquero). Of course, Sheb Woolley went on to other westerns, Robert Wilke played the man killed by James Coburn in the railroad scene in Magnificent 7, Tex Ritter(singer) was the father of John Ritter. There are many other famous actors in this movie ...but what happened to Frank Miller? Thank you for sharing.
@gertrudedogs Frank Miller was played by Ian MacDonald who died in 1978 at age 63. MacDonald had been in films since 1941 and retired from acting in 1960. After High Noon he worked in TV shows including several westerns such as Gunsmoke. In film after High Noon he was in Apache starring Burt Lancaster, Johnny Guitar with Joan Cawford and Sterling Hayden.Sheb Wooley had a hit record. The Flying Purple People Eater and was a regular on Rawhide playing scout Pete Nolan with Clint Eastwood.
@boblackey1 Thanks for this information - I had to change my You Tube name because I couldn't get in for some strange reason. I remember Sheb Wooley on Rawhide and have seen Apache (years ago). Will look out for Ian MacDonald in these old westerns.
@gertrudedogs Also I have an episode of The Lone Ranger TV series from 1952 and Ian MacDonald, Lee Van Cleef and Sheb Wooley are all in that episode together. Except for Robert Wilke, all the guys gunning for Gary Cooper in his film.
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' On this, our weddin' day Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Wait, wait along I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave Oh, to be torn 'tweenst love and duty S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life or his'n I'm not afraid of death but oh What shall I do if you leave me? Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin' Now that I need you by my side Wait along,(wait along) wait along Wait along, wait along
done too soon. My favourite movie and favourite character of all time. Seen it 37 times and counting. Cooper displayed the epipome of manhood!!!This film had the most profound effect on me as a boy!Now at 68 I FEEL THE SAME!! FLASHHARRY33
A recent list of greatest movie heros had Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) at number one and a bunch of other girly-men in the top slots. Will Kane was not even in the top 100. What is happening to this country?
@alandavis I can't speak for Americans, but I suppose most of my generation just don't know the old classics. And if they're exposed to them, their brains have already been ruined by the sad stupid cr*p the current "entertainement" mostly is.
Howard Hawks disliked this film. As an answer to High Noon,Hawks made 2 films starring John Wayne which took the position that a true professional lawman would not want the help of amateurs in such a situation because the non-pro would only get in the way.
@sleedolfine15 While the idea (a non-pro would only get in the way and should let fighting crime to real lawmen) isn't that bad message, watching Eldorado and Rio Bravo mostly left me thinking "Wow, a ragtag bunch of drunkards, cripples and women can beat professional hired guns." Though they did imply the people of the Old West were brave and competent folk unlike the cowardly townspeople of High Noon.
@Feanorielle wow, can you even imagine though, what freedom felt like back then!?? most towns didn't even have law yet! you could get away with murder! ... oh. bad example, i guess you can still do that today. but you know what i mean! you could carry a gun.... legally ok! oh, never mind. somebody said 3:10 to yuma was a re-make. is that right? umm , i'd rather see the original. and i like "thunder road" with robert mitchem! and they haven't colorized it yet either!! yah! not yah, yae!
@m1kewithaone some body just told me that "red river'" is one of the best western movies ever made. have you seen that one, and if so, is it true? i saw rio bravo, i just can't remember it. wasn't it the one with dean martin and ricky nelson in it? or the one with john wayne and his son?
@m1kewithaone Red River is a great film. It was among a series of great films(the Searchers,Hondo,etc) Wayne made in the decade after World War 2. It starred John Wayne as a stiff necked cattle baron determined to get his cattle to market no matter whose life it cost and Montgomery Cliff who played his adopted son. These 2 men who loved one another as father and son found themselves at odd because of Wayne's inflexability. It's a great western adventure about 2 strong willed men.
@sleedolfine15 ok, thanks for that! i think i'll watch it, it probably would be a lot more fun than continueing to argue the 9/11 conspiricy with those guys over there anyways.
@sleedolfine15 well i think it just depends on the situation, i haven't this yet, and i don't remember rio bravo or eldorado. but being in the military, and living in the streets of loss angles, i can see hawks point. amateurs could very easily get in the way, or actually have their guns taken from them and then used on them. on the other hand, i loved "life and times of judge roy been" he didn't go looking for trouble, they came to him, so if he shot them in the back, well, just another day .
@heyhomes8 He was much underrated as a performer. Along with the films, his live television work was superb---and that was about the hardest thing any actor could take on. A lot of talent there.
i do not think this is a great movie, most commies think it is a good movie, however real americans know this is nothing more than a commie writer trying to show that americans will not stand up to evil.
This was Lee van Cleef's first film role. Although small, it's memorable. What better way could his carreer have started than sitting by his own in the intro of a classic film and displaying his deadly eyes at 0:17?
The greatest theme song from any movie ever, and one of the greatest westerns ever, I can remember watching it on an old black and white TV on a Sunday afternoon when I was kid and thinking it the best movie ever. It still holds up, people need to be reminded that standing your ground often means standing alone. And one of those gunman is Lee Van Cleef, who went on to play Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.
just north of Chatsworth, California......they filmed alot of films on that back lot......lots of Smog in the North San Fernando Valley contributed to the Starkness of the horizon....
@blickluke - Part of the movie was shot in a western set in Burbank, but there was some location shooting in the Sonora, California area. The opening segment was shot outside of Sonora, The church is St. John's Catholic church in Tuolomne. The train station is in Jamestown. Several years ago I visited some of the locations with Robert Wilke's niece. We talked with some of the oldtimers who remembered when Gary Cooper and the others were there for the filming.
@LOSTHOMEY1 Well, he made a vow while in state's prison, vowed it'd be Cooper's life or his'n.
Those sorts of things are powerful enough to transcend the silver screen and manifest themselves in real-world identities. We must truly hope that the cameras are rolling when Mr. Miller encounters a Will Kane at any point in his career.
@thejasoninator I met a couple of guys in a pub in the South of England a few years ago and after a few beers we sang this song and a few others. We spent a great hour or two reminiscing in song. Great fun.
By the way, movie fans, this is now up on Netflix instant watch (in the US, at least) as of yesterday. There's never been a better time to sit your friends down in front of the TV (or the laptop, or the iPad) and get them to watch this wonderful classic.
Great movie, other than maybe Witness, I can't remember liking the ending of any movie more. I won't give anything away, but what a great story of one man's courage! Not to mention how cowardly and immoral some people can be. One man had the guts to stand up to injustice and do what's right, no matter if cost him his bride or even his life. He truly did his duty as a lawman!
Watching 'High Noon' w/ my dad was illuminating; he'd been both a working cowboy and a WW2 infantryman, and had been through house-to-house fighting in Europe. He was usually bemused by Westerns, but this one was clearly different for him. Thanks for posting this clip.
In Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood pays homage to High Noon, where Gary Cooper throws his badge in the dust at the end of the movie; Clint takes out his badge and tosses it in the water at the end of Dirty Harry
Lee van cleef was young here!! and Jeff bridges dad in this too hahaha : D Music was sooo good in this i loved watching "RIO Bravo" if you have not seen it Watch it!! John wayne and Dean Martin ( =
The best movie ever!!! Everything is perfect, space, time, music, interpretations and princess Grace!!! I would like not to have seen it, to see it for the first time again!!!!
M, Patterhorn comments : "The whole genre of cowboy films was done to death by Hollywood and practically all of them were juvenile nonsense, but occasionally in the hands of great director..."
Query to MP: What else in isn't in film-making?
Comment: RE: 'but occasionally' Well, this is of course true, but there were an unusual number or constellation of 'but occasionallys' over this period - "a grand époque of the great westerns?
The whole genre of cowboy films was done to death by Hollywood and practically all of them were juvenile nonsense, but occasionally in the hands of great director a terrific film was made. The opening to this film is about as perfect as it could have been, as was the rest of the picture.
It's always high noon someplace...

@sleedolfine15 well i think it just depends on the situation, i haven't this yet, and i don't remember rio bravo or eldorado. but being in the military, and living in the streets of loss angles, i can see hawks point. amateurs could very easily get in the way, or actually have their guns taken from them and then used on them. on the other hand, i loved "life and times of judge roy been" he didn't go looking for trouble, they came to him, so if he shot them in the back, well, just another day .

This was Lee van Cleef's first film role. Although small, it's memorable. What better way could his carreer have started than sitting by his own in the intro of a classic film and displaying his deadly eyes at 0:17?

The greatest theme song from any movie ever, and one of the greatest westerns ever, I can remember watching it on an old black and white TV on a Sunday afternoon when I was kid and thinking it the best movie ever. It still holds up, people need to be reminded that standing your ground often means standing alone. And one of those gunman is Lee Van Cleef, who went on to play Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.

@blickluke - Part of the movie was shot in a western set in Burbank, but there was some location shooting in the Sonora, California area. The opening segment was shot outside of Sonora, The church is St. John's Catholic church in Tuolomne. The train station is in Jamestown. Several years ago I visited some of the locations with Robert Wilke's niece. We talked with some of the oldtimers who remembered when Gary Cooper and the others were there for the filming.

Those sorts of things are powerful enough to transcend the silver screen and manifest themselves in real-world identities. We must truly hope that the cameras are rolling when Mr. Miller encounters a Will Kane at any point in his career.

Great movie, other than maybe Witness, I can't remember liking the ending of any movie more. I won't give anything away, but what a great story of one man's courage! Not to mention how cowardly and immoral some people can be. One man had the guts to stand up to injustice and do what's right, no matter if cost him his bride or even his life. He truly did his duty as a lawman!

Watching 'High Noon' w/ my dad was illuminating; he'd been both a working cowboy and a WW2 infantryman, and had been through house-to-house fighting in Europe. He was usually bemused by Westerns, but this one was clearly different for him. Thanks for posting this clip.

M, Patterhorn comments : "The whole genre of cowboy films was done to death by Hollywood and practically all of them were juvenile nonsense, but occasionally in the hands of great director..."
Query to MP: What else in isn't in film-making?
Comment: RE: 'but occasionally' Well, this is of course true, but there were an unusual number or constellation of 'but occasionallys' over this period - "a grand époque of the great westerns?

The whole genre of cowboy films was done to death by Hollywood and practically all of them were juvenile nonsense, but occasionally in the hands of great director a terrific film was made. The opening to this film is about as perfect as it could have been, as was the rest of the picture.
