Double-Bill of 2 great westerns from the 1950's.
HIGH NOON is one of the all-time classic westerns.
Retired marshall Will Kane (Gary Cooper, - Beau Geste, Sergeant York) is just about to marry his fiancee (Grace Kelly, - Dial M For Murder, To Catch A Thief ), when news comes that three killers are on the noon train to town seeking revenge. As the townspeople desert him he must decide whether to stand and fight or leave before the men arrive.
THE AMERICANO, is a less well-known , though still very excellent western starring one of Hollywood's greatest 'unsung' stars, Glenn Ford (Gilda, 3:10 To Yuma, Day Of The Evil Gun). Here he plays a rancher transporting his 3 prize bulls to their new owner in Brazil, and facing everything from piranha-infested rivers to bandits along the way.
