High Noon is a movie you cannot walk away from and not just because it has Philedelphia beauty Grace Kelly. This movie creates intense levels of suspense that keep you glued to your La-Z-boy chair, waiting to see who wins the epic duel between Frank Miller and Will Kane. The whole duel only about five minutes, so the waiting isn't exactly worth it, but that's alright.
Suspense is created the whole way through. The camera regularly shifts to a closeup of a clock, with the pendulum ticking away the seconds to twelve o'clock. Background is played often, with the beat of a ticking clock. Overall, it's pretty sweet. You keep sitting there, thinking, Wow, I wonder what's going to happen? And then, BANG! No, literally, it is a bang. This is a gunfight we're talking about here.
This movie is just one of those old films that you cuddle up with on a rainy day. You could watch it over and over, and still wait till the end because you're just that gripped by the suspense techniques.
