I agree about High Noon – it was a brilliant and gripping dramatisation of the need to stand up to McCarthyism. And it stands the test of time – it still has something to teach us about the importance of people standing up against those who try to silence dissent and who regard any criticism of the government as somehow unpatriotic. The people who made High Noon suffered for it – barred from jobs, let down by people more concerned for profit than for what is right – but they prevailed in the long run.
