I had no idea HIGH NOON is commonly regarded as a brave liberal counter-attack on McCarthy-ism....

But according to Kyle Smith, apparently it is... at least among film enthusiasts on the Left, anyway. Oh the things you learn if you manage to live long enough.

You'll note that The Commander made almost exactly the opposite argument a year ago. Interesting fact, that. I guess it just goes to show that part of what's great about movies is that everyone can take something different away from them.

Ultimately Smith is making a similar argument to the Commander's, though from a slightly different perspective.

Still... interesting.
