William Jefferson Clinton
42nd President of The United States
“It’s no accident that politicians see themselves as Gary Cooper in High Noon. Not just politicians, but anyone who’s forced to go against the popular will. Any time you’re alone and you feel you’re not getting the support you need, Cooper’s Will Kane becomes the perfect metaphor.”
Crown Prince Albert of Monaco
Son of Grace Kelly
“Of course my mother was nervous. It was her first major role, and to have to act in Gary Cooper’s shadow was very intimidating for a young actress.”
Maria Cooper
Daughter of Gary Cooper
“My father kept seeing this young man off to the side, studying his acting, day after day after day. It was James Dean!”
Jonathan Foreman
Son of Writer Carl Foreman
"My father had been a member of the Communist Party.He sat down with Cooper before filming began and discussed this. Cooper told him his politics were his business and his alone. Cooper backed up his words with action after that. And that's why Cooper was a God in our house growing up."
Tim Zinnemann
Son of Fred Zinnemann
"My father was not going to buckle under when he was threatened with being blacklisted. He even said he’d walk off the film if Carl Foreman’s name was removed as screenwriter.”

“The fact that High Noon was a metaphor for the blacklist when it first came out means nothing to an audience today. What makes High Noon relevant, what makes it so timely, so powerful still today, is that its real focus is civic complacency. The danger of civic complacency.”
Stephen Prince
Virginia Tech
“The moment when Cooper realizes the young boy has seen him cry is brilliant. Cooper snaps straight in the chair and puts on his masculine face. It so beautifully captures the complex public façade that is masculinity.”
Meir Ribalow
Fordham University
“In most westerns, the Mexican woman, the so-called dark lady, takes a bullet at the end so the hero can ride off with the blond-haired virgin. Not in High Noon. Katy Jurado’s Helen Ramirez is always in charge. She even has a boy-toy, talk about being ahead of its time. Helen Ramirez doesn’t die. In the end, she rides off!”
Brian Garfield
Author, "Western Films"
“Cooper is heart-stoppingly splendid. One of the most intense performances by any actor ever to have been filmed.”
