@@steveconn I love Gary Cooper and I really like High Noon BUT I have to agree with both John Wayne and Howard Hawks, I do think it was quite pathetic as a sheriff to go around asking everyone for help, a good sheriff doesn't do this, so I think Rio Bravo was much better in my opinion.
John Wayne wouldn’t have been right for High Noon. Will Kane was a marshal at the end of his career, vulnerable and human. John Wayne’s persona would not match that role
Walter Solley I don't gives a hoot's eyebrow what Wayne said, that right wing coward. High Noon will always be a # 1 movie in the annals of time!! REMEMBER, ole Wayne took the chicken way out out in WWll when most of the actors enlisted! Never forgot that about him! So, he ain't got no room to talk calling a movie too weak.
High Noon - it don't get much better than this! What a film! Gary Cooper perfectly cast. Great acceptance speech from John Wayne on Gary's behalf. Fred Zinneman was a genius!
Super Duper, Cooper. Especially loved him in "Meet John Doe" and "Ball of Fire"; he played so well against Barbara Stanwyck. Couldn't imagine either film without either lead.
There's quite a bit of irony in John Wayne's acceptance for Gary Cooper. John Wayne called High Noon "the most un-American" thing he'd ever read. I think it's hilarious that he went up there and accepted the Oscar for Mr. Cooper. Please note, while I have not always agreed with Mr. Wayne's politics I have always liked his films and been a fan since I can remember. Additionally, Gary Cooper was a serious right winger, too. As with John Wayne, though, I've been a fan of Gary Cooper since a child. My maternal grandmother came from the reservation in Montana and became a Gary Cooper fan back in the silent film days. When she would babysit me, we would watch his movies together, and during commercial breaks, she told me about tipi life back in the old days. Aside from my Cherokee grandfather, she thought Gary Cooper was the best looking man she'd ever seen. As a bonus, she thought he rode a horse better than any white man. Ever! She was a hoot.
John Wayne accepting the Best Actor Award on behalf of the absent Gary Cooper. Two fabulous actors. Wayne should have received the Oscar for his lead role in "The Searchers" in 1956, but in one of the most bizarre snubs in Academy history, neither the picture nor Wayne was nominated. The movie is widely recognized as one of the greatest films ever made, and arguably the best western ever filmed. Instead, "Around the World in 80 Days," one of the lamest, most forgettable movies to ever win Best Picture, won the Oscar. Wayne would finally win an Oscar for his role in "True Grit" in 1969.
I couldn;t agree more about Wayne and "The Searchers." And hell, I'm a political liberal! But both Duke and the film were outstanding. Wayne's Ethan is the kind of racist to make your blood boil, but when he saves Natalie Wood, who he wanted to shoot because she "became" an Indian, and then says, Let's go home, Debbie," his soul is redeemed.
Wayne should’ve gotten one for rio bravo. True grit wasn’t even a great movie. They gave him the award for that because he was passed up on so many other actually good movies.
@@midassnap9028 "The Quiet Mn" was nominated for Best Picture for the 1952 year, but it did not win the prize, which went instead to one of the worst Best Picture winners of all time, "The Greatest Show on Earth."
Very true. If the Duke had the chance again he would most likely turn the role down again. Movies are more than entertainment. They send a message either directly or indirectly. John Wayne perceived that in this picture.
Man You can"t compare the legendary Gary Cooper to your freaking Duke ...When Gary Cooper used to be the most famous highest payed star in Hollywood in the 30's Your Duke was unknown at the time ..
@@steveconn Not sure what you mean by "big right-winger." Cooper was a Republican, but being a Republican back then was very different from being a Republican now. For example, he was close friends with Ernest Hemingway, who was very liberal. In fact, Cooper was in favor of New Deal policies during the FDR era, but Hemingway wasn't. Also, considering that Cooper was called to testify before the HUAC in 1947 and that he had actually visited Moscow and didn't like what he saw there, it was understandable that he was "not sympathetic to communism," as he testified. Still, he did not name a single name and had no problem working on High Noon or with people who had been accused of being communists.
Wayne criticized High Noon and its message in particular. Wayne was an idealist. In his movies, crisis always brings out the best in people. The complete opposite of what happened during High Noon.
@@VaniFoxOfficial High Noon was in a town in which the old west was dying out and bankers, railroads and civilization had arrived. Itwas no longer the sort of pioneer town that Wayne idealized. I think this film actually makes Wayne's argument for him,.
@@VaniFoxOfficial Nicely put! Plus: Wayne never went around asking others for help. Nevertheless High Noon is one of the best Westerns and Cooper did a tremendous job.
@@jonathancadle1261 Absolutely right but Cooper also did testified against them . The irony of irony is though the script was written with a black listed who used a different name .
' the searchers ' was a dark and disturbing movie , but John Wayne was so stupid , he probably never had a clue - although he was fine as an actor , when someone with smarts , was pulling the strings !
Post facto is being ironic right? Because if not, he doesn't know his history at all. Wayne called High Noon un-american and saw the writer blacklisted, and yet here he makes a comment about how he wishes he was in it! You don't get more two-faced than that. Wayne was a fine actor in certain films but an awful human being if you research what he stood for. And also i'm assuming by Peter Pan's comment, whose living up to his user name with that infantile generalization, we are in a creepy right-wing section of youtube where knowledge is secondary to the false comfort of fake macho icons and a benign god that makes you feel very special indeed.
Coop’s parents were well off Brits, and they sent him to school in Bedfordshire for a while, in Houghton Regis, but he had been born in the USA. He was a true grit American with true Brit lineage. Of course he preferred Montana....
Great speech by "The Duke". It is ironic that John Wayne famously hated "High Noon", because of its liberal political subtext. Years later, he made "Rio Bravo" as a response. They're both great movies, regardless. So it's possible to be a fan of both.
OK ! Les deux meilleurs premiers westerns de mon adolescence. (Vus en 1952 et 1953) J'en rêve encore à près de 83 ans...Merci de me faire revivre ces souvenirs enfuis !..
Brando, Cooper, Kirk Douglas, Jose Ferrer, Alec Guinness, and Wayne accepting for Cooper. Todays so called "actors" and even going back say 25 years, cant compare to these talented people. Look at how well dressed these people are. Tuxedos, gowns, not the freak show we have nowadays.
John Wayne: BOSS. He was always great when he picked up Oscars for his colleagues, and even though he wasn't really deserving of his own Oscar win for "True Grit," he was still very humble and gracious. I like to think his Oscar was for "The Searchers."
Gary Cooper- so most playing the best of man's qualities... "How noble and excellent is man if he only attain to that state for which he was designed. And how mean and contemptible if he close his eyes to the public weal and spend his precious capacities on personal and selfish ends." ~ ‘Abdu’l-Baha, Baha'i Faith Writings
It's well know that John Wayne didn't appreciate at all "High Noon". The last scene, the star in the dust was a punch to the gut for his patriotism and, most of all, Wayne was convinced that a sheriff must not ask for help to the people, he had to work alone. In response to this, in 1959 played in Howard Hawks's Rio Bravo where the situation was reversed. People offered to help him but he declined.
I think his point was more the fact that people DID offer him help, not so much about whether he accepted it or not. He wanted the frontier people to be portrayed as sticking together and uniting against a common enemy no matter what.
high noon was a commentary on REAL LIFE.. sheriffs do quit.. most people WONT help.. just look at gunsmoke .. the town never helped in 30 years and 300 episodes.. john wayne portrayed idealism.. high noon was realism.. get over it.. gary cooper was 10x times the man wayne was

People would defended him, and they would've stood together besides him. He and Howard Hawks made Rio Bravo based on that idea. I think both films are masterpieces.
The Nominees were Marlon Brando, Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Jose Ferrer, Alec Guiness all legends And to top it off John Wayne and Bob Hope were on stage. Nowadays you have 5 Schmucks nominated and you never heard of any of them nor do you care.
Not to mention they use the podium to virtue signal, talking at you about equity, lbgtq, BLM, blah blah blah. That's why I stopped watching the Oscars years ago.
t's all true friends... Gary Cooper was a fantastic actor but i think that the Duke in " Red River", " Fort Apache", " She wore a yellow ribbon"," The searchers" and " El Dorado" also did fantastic performances in old west movies...
What this proves is that friendship and respect go beyond ones political views and beyond ones supposedly declared view of a movie. John Wayne did not like the layout of the story regarding High Noon and did not like the director (during the McCarthy years) but that did not and should not have effected his respect for Cooper as a friend, a colleague, and an actor and in fact it didn't. We often confuse the two apparently diverse stated opinions, but true friendships allow for a difference of opinion but cannot interfere with honest, respectful relationships. In these shallow modern times some are unable to understand this common humanity.
+Kohl423 Wayne's dislike for High Noon was attributable to the screenplay by Carl Foreman, who was a victim of the McCarthy era, rather than an antagonism for Fred Zinnemann, the film's director, who won an Oscar [ his second Oscar for best director was for A Man For All Seasons.] Wayne believed that the story of a Sheriff who is deserted by the townspeople that he has protected, resulting in Cooper's character being compelled to face four gunmen alone, was un-American.
the great Mr. Zinnemann did not win his first Oscar-win for `High Noon´ (even of I Think he deserved it), he won hes firts deserving best directing Oscar for `from here to eternity´ in 1954! ;) ;D lol Thank for aslso mentioning him. one of the best directors EVER, imo.
Very true. Wayne disliked High Noon and thought it both inaccurate and un-American because it depicted a frontier town full of cowards (as an aside, he was probably right in that assessment -- in actual history, both the James Gang and the Dalton Gang were shot to pieces by armed townsfolk in Northfield, Minnesota and Coffeyville, Kansas respectively who unhesitatingly took up arms to to fight the gangs the instant they realized the gangs were in their towns attempting to rob a bank). But Wayne's dislike of the film and its message didn't affect his opinion of Cooper a jot. He also maintained friendships with liberal actors such as Henry Fonda and Paul Newman (with whom he liked to debate politics). Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart were also very close personal friends despite their diametrically opposed political views. This ability to be gracious and not let politics poison friendships seems to be a lost art in Hollywood these days. Now it's absolutely dominated by virtue-signalling ultra-leftists, who label you a bigot and hate you if you don't share their views.
I lived in a town with one not too well running cinema. So age and limits didn’t matter. I was 12 and daw the movie and fell for GK instantly. sometime I saw Casablanca, didn’t get a thing exept the nightclub, and thought I would never enter such a place,at 13yrs.
1952: It would take Wayne another 17 years to get his Oscar. Truth was, Cooper was still getting over the personal and professional damage inflicted by his affair with Patricia Neal, and wasn't welcome in some quarters. Paramount would not release "High Noon"; United Artists did. Cooper was considered 'washed up' in some quarters, but Stanley Kramer knew what he wanted, and Cooper delivered, surrounded by great character actors and a young Grace Kelly.
Harry Estes Your original post was wittier. Newsflash: John Wayne was a racist, uneducated man, who believed in white supremacy, and had the stupidity to actually say " I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from [the Native Americans] ... Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." Yup, that's classy.
I think I prefer this understated style of just reading the nominees names instead of the clips they show along with them these days. It gets on with it.

Not to mention they use the podium to virtue signal, talking at you about equity, lbgtq, BLM, blah blah blah. That's why I stopped watching the Oscars years ago.
Just splendid!
Un très bel hommage pour Gary
t's all true friends... Gary Cooper was a fantastic actor but i think that the Duke in " Red River", " Fort Apache", " She wore a yellow ribbon"," The searchers" and " El Dorado" also did fantastic performances in old west movies...
So deserved!
What this proves is that friendship and respect go beyond ones political views and beyond ones supposedly declared view of a movie. John Wayne did not like the layout of the story regarding High Noon and did not like the director (during the McCarthy years) but that did not and should not have effected his respect for Cooper as a friend, a colleague, and an actor and in fact it didn't. We often confuse the two apparently diverse stated opinions, but true friendships allow for a difference of opinion but cannot interfere with honest, respectful relationships. In these shallow modern times some are unable to understand this common humanity.
+Kohl423 Wayne's dislike for High Noon was attributable to the screenplay by Carl Foreman, who was a victim of the McCarthy era, rather than an antagonism for Fred Zinnemann, the film's director, who won an Oscar [ his second Oscar for best director was for A Man For All Seasons.] Wayne believed that the story of a Sheriff who is deserted by the townspeople that he has protected, resulting in Cooper's character being compelled to face four gunmen alone, was un-American.
Mr Zinnemann's first oscar was for From here to eternity.
the great Mr. Zinnemann did not win his first Oscar-win for `High Noon´ (even of I Think he deserved it), he won hes firts deserving best directing Oscar for `from here to eternity´ in 1954! ;) ;D lol Thank for aslso mentioning him. one of the best directors EVER, imo.
Kohl423 Duty and honor. The one against the many.
Very true. Wayne disliked High Noon and thought it both inaccurate and un-American because it depicted a frontier town full of cowards (as an aside, he was probably right in that assessment -- in actual history, both the James Gang and the Dalton Gang were shot to pieces by armed townsfolk in Northfield, Minnesota and Coffeyville, Kansas respectively who unhesitatingly took up arms to to fight the gangs the instant they realized the gangs were in their towns attempting to rob a bank). But Wayne's dislike of the film and its message didn't affect his opinion of Cooper a jot. He also maintained friendships with liberal actors such as Henry Fonda and Paul Newman (with whom he liked to debate politics). Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart were also very close personal friends despite their diametrically opposed political views.
This ability to be gracious and not let politics poison friendships seems to be a lost art in Hollywood these days. Now it's absolutely dominated by virtue-signalling ultra-leftists, who label you a bigot and hate you if you don't share their views.
Que estas en los Cielos...
What films to choose from. An abundance of riches.
Gene Kelly should have been nominated. He performed one of the most iconic dance numbers of all times in movies with the title song.
Hello Laura
Now THAT...was an American. The strong, silent type.
Lori , Gary Cooper wasn't dying of cancer in 1953 . He didn't die until 1960 at age 60 .
I was born 1999. I learn him by tony soprano (the sopranos). What a big tv series. Yeah ı dont know english 🙏
They were all winners back than.
Why couldn't Gary Cooper be there that night? Was he away on a film shoot somewhere?
I love John Wayne in I miss him badly.
I feel sorry for those who never saw a b and w film Cooper or Wayne Walter brenan etc when men were men
I lived in a town with one not too well running cinema. So age and limits didn’t matter. I was 12 and daw the movie and fell for GK instantly. sometime I saw Casablanca, didn’t get a thing exept the nightclub, and thought I would never enter such a place,at 13yrs.
he wasnt being sarcastic .. he was being funny.. even tho he hated the premise of high noon.. he joked that he was mad that he wasnt given the part
1952: It would take Wayne another 17 years to get his Oscar. Truth was, Cooper was still getting over the personal and professional damage inflicted by his affair with Patricia Neal, and wasn't welcome in some quarters. Paramount would not release "High Noon"; United Artists did. Cooper was considered 'washed up' in some quarters, but Stanley Kramer knew what he wanted, and Cooper delivered, surrounded by great character actors and a young Grace Kelly.
No color tv. Legendary
A very good actor! A real man!
A real man who's real name was Marion Morrison, who also wore a great toupee!

You can always tell when the jealous and class challenged show up.
Harry Estes Your original post was wittier.
Newsflash: John Wayne was a racist, uneducated man, who believed in white supremacy, and had the stupidity to actually say " I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from [the Native Americans] ... Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves."
Yup, that's classy.
Es mi actor favorito . aunque ya no esté en esta tierra
I think I prefer this understated style of just reading the nominees names instead of the clips they show along with them these days. It gets on with it.
Renee N. It is a television program that last a certain amount of time. They have clips to fill the time,.
Who was the lovely actress presenting the award to John Wayne fir cooper?
