High Noon

High Noon is a 1952 Western film starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly, in which a marshal faces a confrontation at noon and finds the cowardly townsfolk have all deserted him. Meanwhile, his new bride waits for him. The movie's theme song, "Do Not Forget Me O My Darling," won the Academy Award for best song. The film itself has become one of the most iconic Westerns and ripe for parody and referencing.
