Without Tex Ritter's performance of the Dimitri Tiomkin theme song, "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)," this copycat crime is just asking for capital punishment. Go to Full Review

alan g @agenser Mar 9 A pale copy of the original. Why does hokeywood think they can do better when all they do is waste time and money. See more Steve D 01/30/2024 Not as good as the original obviously but a solid remake. See more 04/26/2013 A stupid movie that just begs the question of why was it made. Starts off with a man getting married and than finds out that a man that he sent to prison is coming for him. Instead of being smart and leaving town he decides to stay much to the reluctance of his new wife who is determined not to become a widow on he wedding day and will leave him if he stays. Why he would insist upon staying is beyond me, in my opinion he should have left town along time ago. No shard of character development here just a reason to make a movie about nothing in particular. Leave town already!! The only reason why I even give this a star is because the ending gun fight was pretty good, but way too late to save this mess of a movie. See more 10/07/2011 A 4 Star rating only because I'm NOT a die-hard fan of Westerns. This was, however, worth the watch. The remake was to me, better than the original. See more 11/24/2010 The best of all the black and white westerns. Only dialogue that now sounds a bit stagey hinders a fifth star. See more 01/25/2009 not any where a good as the first See more Read all reviews
