Actually, I intentionally refered to the Producer of High Noon, rather than the Director.

Stanley Kramer was very involved with getting "High Noon" made, Fred Zinneman's contribution notwithstanding. My understanding is that Kramer was very "hands-on" in the production of this carefully crafted film because of it's subtext reflecting the paranoia of McCarthyism without directly offending those in Washington DC, who had already taken aim at the film industry. "Bad Day at Black Rock" is also an excellent film; I'm glad that you brought it up! This movie was also somewhat controversial at the time of it's release because it dealt with the touchy subject of racism and the forced internment of Japanese-American citizens. Another excellent movie!
