Saw "High Noon" for the first time while in college and liked it, and I'm not really into Western films. Had this song in my head for a while. Deserved its Oscar for best song.
The original movie is a classic western without peers. Tex Ritter's original movie theme is likewise without peers. If you have never seen the movie, do so now.
Unglaublich guter Western, und eine tolle Version des Titelliedes in Stereo! Ohne diesen Western hätte es die anderen mit John Wayne und Clint Eastwood in der Hauptrolle nicht gegeben!!!
@@amd64alan The only Stagecoach I know is the old one starring John Wayne, I think before he was a star, maybe. I thought it was just me, but It's on MY best-ever list. I must've watched it a dozen times .....In fact, I'm gonna watch it now. You made me hungry for it !
Sencillamente sublime western, con el gran ícono más grande de todos los tiempos, el gran gary cooper, y que decir del western es posiblemente el mejor de la historia, y solo para los mejores cinéfilos del mundo, juezdeoeste, 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎⭐
If I'm a man I must be brave And I must face that deadly killer Or lie a coward in my grave These words have a special meaning for me. My deadly killer is terminal cancer. I have faced my deadly killer like a man, not like others who have given up like cowards and died.
Why the Frankie Lain version that became the most famous has changed the original lyrics of the film? For instance , the original goes ,for I must face a deadly killer, and Frankie sings and I must face a man who hates me and at the end , Frankie sings although you're grieving don't think of leaving ,now that I need you by my side and Tex Ritter says , although you're grieving I can't be leaving untill I shoot Frank Miller dead
Amazingly, in view of its eventual immense success, initial previews of High Noon did not have those audiences cheering. United Artists got cold feet and held off releasing the Movie. Dimitri Tiomkin was certain however that the theme song was something special. So while United Artists hesitated he bought the rights to the Song and arranged for it to be recorded by Frankie Laine who gave it his full throated turbo drama best. To make it a succesfull hit he changed some words to make the song independent of the movie. Some months later the movie was released and achieved great success, so tex ritter recorded again the song with frankie laine version words. The original movie song was never released until 2013, when it was released on cd., following the discovery of an intact original acetate vinyl disc of the full soundtrack recording.... monophonic www.amazon.com/High-Noon-Soundtrack-Dimitri-Tiomkin/dp/B0011MGHI0
his voice is good but the rendition and the arrangement are too slow. better is Frankie Laine 1961 version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6ZIiaSx51g.html&ab_channel=MrMazins1
Robert Horton's version is similar to peter tevisi rendition ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KJBnZvjzPJ8.html&ab_channel=filmscoremaniac
Sorry. I do not like these songs in their re-mixed style. The originals with all their scratchy bumps are simply wonderful and such scratchy bumps add to the depth and sincerity of the movies of these days. As Jay Kavanagh said in another post, I also remember growing up with these movies . In all their Glorious Black and White there is still something magical about them and their simplicity.
