INSIDE HIGH NOON also explores the film itself: why it has aroused controversy among critics, how its treatment of women and of masculinity was ahead of its time, and why High Noon has come to be seen as a masterpiece of American cinema. The documentary weaves together clips from High Noon and analysis and commentary from Tim Zinneman (son of director Fred Zinneman), Jonathan Foreman (son of screenwriter Carl Foreman), Crown Prince Albert of Monaco (Grace Kelly’s son), Maria Cooper (Gary Cooper’s daughter), President Bill Clinton, and many film critics and historians.
