127: High Noon (1952) and Three O'Clock High (1987)
Manage episode 340380383 series 2901289
Showdown is the theme. "High Noon" (1952) is one of the best/most famous westerns of all time. Gary Cooper won an Oscar for his portrayal of Marshall Will Kane, but that is not the only thing going for it. The script is progressive and way ahead of its' time. John Wayne called it the un-American, which made the boys love it more. Adam felt "Three O'Clock High" (1987) was way ahead of its time with the director using techniques that made the film look 90's.
Next, mistaken identity with David Mamet's "Things Change" (1988) and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999).
