*That was one reason John Wayne hated High Noon. I think he called the film “Communist.”*
Can’t imagine that. Cooper was a better actor. Great. John Wayne, my hero, played characters. Reminds me of when Richard Harris said Paul Newman and Robert Redford were ‘not actors’. They played characters who got ahead based on their looks.
Harris may have very well been underrated based on that criteria. Safe to say he was a serious actor.
