In Reply to: One of the classics; a brilliantly subtle cautionary tale of fear and disillusionment crafted during the McCarthy era. posted by Audiophilander on January 05, 2004 at 15:53:50:
Maybe you were thinking of "Bad Day at Black Rock"?
Follow Ups:
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!
