I'd better stop right here. The smog of apt contemporary metaphors in this description is getting so thick that I'm about to choke.

I don't understand this article, but I wanted to point out that High Noon (the Gary Cooper movie) was indeed made by Democrats, and is little more than pro-Communist propaganda.

I haven't seen The Silver Star, but a commentator over at the Internet Movie Database had this to say:

Although this nifty little western drama is seldom available for viewing, it remains as one of the better western character studies of the 50s. Perhaps the lack of action, and the stark reality of the picture account for the poor reviews it received upon it's release, however, in hindsight, it remains one of the better "High Noon" inspired quickies, and is perhaps in some respects even better than it's insparation. Lyon shows signs of real acting brilliance as the cowardly Sheriff, only willing to fight when he is shamed into it. The great title song by Wakely is unforgettable.
