I don't see how this picture can be considered controversial--even for the '50's. From a filmmaking standpoint it's awkward, with stiff acting, overwrought music, and a small production aesthetic. But what's more infuriating is the lack of a story. There isn't an escalation or complication to the plot that captivates the audience. It starts with a white dude who swears he's in the right and ends with a final shot that confirms his beliefs. Although, given the audience, maybe that's the point?

The appeal of the western is diminishing among younger generations, young adults were only exposed to them by their parents and kids don't play cowboys and Indians these days. This one might be lauded as one of the best westerns of all time, and while it might be pretty good, that is an appraisal likely limited to people who already like westerns, and not one for the uninitiated.

The tension, clocks, performances: great. That theme song: WHY?!? Seriously, that theme song manages to undermine so much of the momentum the film has going for it every time it jarringly appears.

Is this a leftist allegory, decrying pacifist protest in the face of a violent fascist threat, or a conservative one, heroicizing law and order, police violence and the mightiness of the individual? The fact that both seem like valid interpretations is what makes this film so interesting, and politics aside it's an exciting film. The score, the real-time narrative, the efficient script, the ticking clocks all build an atmosphere of tremendous tension.

Has some great dialog in certain scenes and some cool editing, but the plot meanders on its single thematic which doesn't coalesce into anything interesting while also making the film drag at times. The climax and ending are a total wet fart - they spend the entire film building up the villains but nothing they actually do in the shootout is menacing nor is he given much characterization in general. The fact the hero actually prevails with no qualms takes away a lot from the central thematic.

Reevaluated as a parody of those who refused to stand up for people who were accused of disloyalty by McCarthy. It's not quite as bad as I first thought.

Tbh, I can't consider myself a big Cooper fan, but this is either way well-directed and has a good sense of spatial suspense as it denies as much as it can the final shootout -- which is the less interesting thing about this. Influential and canonic as hell, but not a masterpiece on my opinion.

Constantly ratcheting up of pressure. Cool shots and lighting. Gary Cooper got a lot done in an hour. Great villain set up. I liked the lack of an overly extended shootout. Grace Kelly was fine but Katy Jurado was the real scene stealer. Goes against a lot of western conventions, mostly shown in the unsupportive townsfolk and cowardly deputies a la Hollywood blacklisting. Fav scene: Kelly discovering the town didn't much care for their marshal.

Killer cinematography, especially the dynamic camera stuff. Great score. Stiff acting.
