Directed by Fred Zinnemann (\u003ci\u003eFrom Here to Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e) and produced by Stanley Kramer (\u003ci\u003eThe Defiant Ones\u003c\/i\u003e), it remains just as riveting, nail-bitingly tense and fiercely political as it was in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an Oscar-winning performance, Gary Cooper (\u003ci\u003eMan of the West\u003c\/i\u003e) stars as small-town Marshal Will Kane, who is preparing to retire and ride off into the sunset with his bride Amy (Grace Kelly, \u003ci\u003eRear Window\u003c\/i\u003e). However, his plans are derailed when he is informed that an outlaw he once sent to jail, Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald, \u003ci\u003eJohnny Guitar\u003c\/i\u003e), is soon to arrive with his brutal gang in tow. \u003ci\u003eHigh Noon \u003c\/i\u003ethen\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003efollows Kane in real time as he tries to assemble a posse – but the townspeople are reluctant to help him and Amy, a pacifist who abhors violence, wants him to simply walk away. But as high noon approaches, Kane realises he must do the right thing… with or without help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile \u003ci\u003eHigh Noon \u003c\/i\u003eis now an acknowledged American masterpiece, its release was controversial. Both John Wayne (who turned down its central role) and Howard Hawks (who made \u003ci\u003eRio Bravo \u003c\/i\u003ein response) hated the film for its thinly veiled critical commentary on McCarthyism and the persecution of those accused of having “communist” beliefs. The film has lost none of its political power – or its irrefutable entertainment value. Having brought the film to Blu-ray in 2019, the Masters of Cinema series is now proud to present its UK debut on 4K Ultra-HD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-sku=\"EKA70562\" data-display=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eLimited Edition [2000 copies]\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition O-card slipcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA limited edition collector’s booklet featuring the original short story The Tin Star by John W.
