Thanks for sharing that clip.<br /><br />As much as I like John Wayne's acting abilities, I agree Cooper was the better choice. His character added to the tension, and at times you wondered if he might just Pack It In after all. I don't think Wayne would have been that subtle.<br /><br />But as for Cooper and the Ick Factor of Love in the Afternoon, I completely agree!Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-28618566589674002922021-02-20T22:20:51.235-05:002021-02-20T22:20:51.235-05:00Great, now I'll have the song in my head for a...Great, now I'll have the song in my head for a day or two - and I'll have to fight the urge to rewatch High Noon!<br />Jokes aside, your post is great.

That is not because I don't revere the film, but that I don't think of it first as a western. It stands alone, like Will Kane, in its own category of a movie that draws you into its world and makes you think about your own.<br /><br />I'm glad that theme persisted.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-42469111290047302822021-02-08T20:45:18.590-05:002021-02-08T20:45:18.590-05:00I sure hope you won't!
