High Noon, the old black and white western about a retiring sherrif that just got married? How does that movie have any liberal or communist message in it?

The more direct message of High Noon was to leave the fighting to the professionals, they were the only ones who could be trusted.

Howard Hawks and John Ford hated High Noon because they thought it had values inconsistent with their view of society and of the old west. Some of their later films were viewed as comments on High Noon.
