High Noon is one of America’s most beloved films. In

Ultimate Collector’s Edition to DVD. Also starring Academy
Award® winner Grace Kelly (The Country Girl) and Emmy®
nominee Lloyd Bridges (TV’s “Seinfeld”), the film is a
classic tale of a lawman who stands alone to defend a town
of cowardly citizens against a gang of revenge-seeking
criminals. This special edition DVD features restored

materials including “Inside High Noon,” a 50-minute
documentary on the making of the film and a Portrait Piece

In the greatest showdown in the history of cinema, lawman
Will Kane (Cooper) stands to lose not only the town but his
new wife (Kelly). On the day he gets married and hangs up
his badge, Kane is told that a man he sent to prison years
before, Frank Miller, is returning on the noon train to
exact his revenge. Having initially decided to leave with
his new spouse, Kane realizes he must go back and face
Miller. However, when he seeks the help of the townspeople
he has protected for so long, they turn their backs on him.
Now, Kane must stand alone in his fight for justice.
