[MegalosSkylaki]

And right now, I don't want to be kissed "

Katy Jurado , just before taking a riding crop to Lloyd Nolan's face, in classic Western, HIGH NOON.

"For I must face a man who hates me, or die a coward, a craven coward in my grave "--background song

Town's retiring Lawman Gary Cooper, just married to Grace Kelly, learns the Miller Gang is arriving on the Noon train and is gunning for him.

Everybody abandons him.

"Beautiful but a tiger", her former husband Ernest Borgnine called her. Won Mexico's Ariel (like the US Oscar) for role in Luis Bunuel's "El Bruto". Nominated for Oscar, opposite Spencer Tracey, in "Broken Lance".

Yeah, but just because eveyone abandoned him, it never occurred to the guy that he should take leave of his own Integrity. He just went on with his own idea of what a Man should do. And he succeeded in his own way, and YEAH!!

The whole point of the movie, IMO.

And a darn good film, too! ( I have a nice copy of it, I bet you can tell.)
