Documentary on film maker Akira Kurosawa

An updated version of John Mulholland’s making-of documentary that explores the remarkable 1952 film starring Gary Cooper, and the gripping story behind its troubled production. Though High Noon was originally seen as an attack on the blacklisting witch hunt gripping Hollywood at the time, it is now recognized as a damning portrait of civic complacency, democracy in peril. High Noon is today considered a classic of American cinema.
