Pretty cool. 1952. Wow. It’s been awhile since I watched ‘High Noon’ in its entirety. I forgot Lee was even in it.
I noticed Lon Chaney (Jr.) was in the movie, as well. If you have never read about Lon Chaney (Sr.) I recommend his Wiki bio. He is, hands down, one of the top 3 actors of all time. Unfortunately, his stardom came in the silent era, and too much time, and all his contemporaries are long gone. He was a very private and humble family man. He once told a Hollywood reporter, “Between movies, there is no Lon Chaney.”

If you ever want to watch a classic silent, check out ‘Tell It To The Marines’. It was one of Chaney’s favorite roles, (and one of the very few he performed without his pioneering make-up) and he was made the first “Honorary Marine” from the film world. You may have read here that Gry Sinise just received the same honor a week or two ago.
