Film Historians Julie Kirgo and Alan K Rode join the podcast to traverse the dusty trails and moral complexities of the timeless Western "High Noon."  The new 4K UHD release from Kino Lorber is highlighted by their new  audio commentaries and we get a preview of their insights into what makes this film so enduring.  Along the way we explore screenwriter Carl Foreman and the Hollywood Blacklist, why Gary Cooper was the right choice for the part of Marshall Will Kane, Katie Jurado's portrayal as a strong, independent Mexican woman, Fred Zinnemann's direction, Floyd Crosby's cinematography, Dimitri Tiomkin's score, and the wealth of character actors that fill out the movie.
