I dislike the picture, it just doesn't make sense. Cooper could'a just bushwhacked the guys waiting for Miller and then Miller too.
Plus western people of the time were ready, willing and able to take on outlaws, look what happened to the James-Younger Gang in Northfield Minnesota and the Dalton Gang in Coffeyville Kansas----they were shot to bits by the townspeople.
It's said that Howard Hawks disliked High Noon so much he made Rio Bravo (one of the best Westerns IMO) as a response.

I agree, Rio Bravo is a much better film. I'm a Cooper - Wendell Narrod 12:55:37 08/30/08 (0)
fan but this movie never did it for me. The main character's actions just didn't make any sense and the pacing was so slow.
