High Noon: "Waiting for Frank Miller" Sequence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2010
- Brilliant waiting sequence from High Noon as Marshal Will Cane waits for his nemesis, Frank Miller, alone and abandoned by his friends.
Has there ever been a film which built up drama and tension as brilliantly as this sequence?
The empty chair for some bizzare reason sends a chill through me. Movie magic with the simplest of shots.
You’re not alone in that. It’s supposed to terrify us of what’s coming on the train. To be honest, the climax of the film is almost a letdown after such an amazing buildup as this scene. To quote Morgan freeman in Se7en, “If he turns out to be the devil, if he is Satan himself, that might live up to our expectations of him. But he’s not. He’s just a man.”
I really liked that shot as well. It seems to use the "less is more" approach by creating tension through ambiguity, which I think can be - and certainly was - extremely effective.
Yes. There is something about that chair.
From here on, I think is the very best part of a great movie.
If I remember correctly, Frank Miller sat on that very chair before being sent for prison and swore that one day he would return for Will Kane and end him.
A classic movie in all respects, from the lovely black-and-white cinematography to the perfect scoring. There are no false heroics here, he simply feels an obligation to the town he served as sheriff. The final showdown is realistic in it's gritty uncompromising nature. And who wouldn't do as he did with his badge at the end. Classic in every way.
Literally, THE Moment of All-time Western Genre History!
When I first saw this as a kid when the train whistle blew it scared the hell out if me, all these years later this scene still gives me chills lol
One beautiful shot after the next. Fabulous movie.
Look at the amazing cut from the shot of the train tracks to the shot of the Church interior. The perspective is exactly the same. The tracks going off into the distance form exactly the same perspective as the church pews leading to the pulpit down the aisle.
What a remarkable use of spatial composition!
I love movies (good ones, that is).
It's the chair in which the villain Frank Miller sat in when he was sentenced to jail and now he's coming back. It's an excellent and highly suggestive play with imagery.
My all time favourite Western, the stunning high contrast cinematography works so well throughout, as does Coop’s superb performance - surely his best!
I was all of six years old when I saw this with my parents. I was brought up listening to 'radio' shows and I did,all in the glorious color of my imagination. From the very start of the film my attention my riveted to the screen by the music . I had never heard anything like it or seen cinematography and film editing like this.This was the very first film that I had seen that had me crying at the end because I understood it. Its up there with Citizen Kane and the Seventh Seal along with many other B&W films that show the actors faces in amazing detail.
Absolutely one of my favorite movie moments. The zoom in on the empty chair gets me every time. The entire cast and story up till then is perfectly summed up in the two minutes the clip lasts.
One thing that always got to me was when the train is first heard. Amy, Will and Helen all react to it, but their reactions are shorter than the previous one. Amy turns her whole head, Will lifts his and shifts his gaze to the right, Helen flinches as she looks up.
I remember seeing this for the first time. When I heard the whistle of the train, the little hairs on my arms stood straight up. Great use of setting up tension.
The greatest western ever !
Concur 1000%
Very mindful movie, really gets under your skin, ie "what would I do if that was me ?"
Darren Morris EXACTLY, this is why John Wayne HATED this pic, cause it showed what TRUE COURAGE is not mere bravado
I know what i would want to do..but i also know what i would actually do..
@theman2017inc John Wayne did *not* hate this movie when it came out (whatever he may have said later, for his own movie publicity): ruclips.net/video/mZyA49IOXVk/видео.html
I think film students will be studying this sequence for many years.
x Millennia ahead of it's Time.
The Three baddies waiting at the train station is where the Italian screenwriters got the idea for the opening of Once Upon A Time In The West.
The direction and cinematography in this movie is incredibly 👏🏾
Classic Movie and this was the best part of the movie awaiting the classic gunfight.
Bobbnoxious, they don't write music like that anymore, because the composer of this music, Dimitri Tiomkin, died on Nov. 11, 1979. He also did Guns of Navaronne, and other classics.
Artfully quoted by Sergio Leone in the opening to "Once Upon a Time in the West"; he even uses a cameo from Jack Elam (the drunk in Gary Cooper's jail in High Noon) to underline the point.
Music’s perfect for anyone who faces the end.
The story of an hour, that simple and yet one of the best movies ever made...
A lawman stands ready to sacrifice his life to do that which is right... "How noble and excellent is man if he only attain to that state for which he was designed. And how mean and contemptible if he close his eyes to the public weal and spend his precious capacities on personal and selfish ends." ~ ‘Abdu’l-Baha, Baha'i Faith Writings
Best western ever
The world right now.... Jan 2022!
Last Will and Testament
"I bequeath to the townsfolk at large, the roundest part of my ass, which they all can kiss. Seriously, screw you guys."
Signed,
Marshall Will Cane
Still laughing at this sometimes
This scene and music gives me chills every time!
I never thought an empty chair could be so terrifying
I came to youtube with the purpose of searching for this scene. Fucking Epic.
just saw this movie today it has definatly been added to my top ten
Iconic
Es posiblemente el mejor western de todos los tiempos,
Y la perfección sublime de credibilidad absoluta del ícono más grande GARY COOPER hacen inrrepetible tanta calidad belleza y honestidad,
Honestamente saludos, 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If I remember correctly, it was the chair John Miller had sat in when he threatened the sheriff to come back for him.
Watched this beginning to end for the first time on TCM. Interesting portrayal of human nature. I understand why the Duke didn't care much for it, as the protagonist looks scared shitless the whole movie. I quite enjoyed it, though, and probably more realistic than a lot of Wayne's films. I'll talk Eastwood's stoicism any day. Never saw him skeered.
I Just cut this part of the movie to put on my face book, when I found it here... thanks for the great sequence... I just wish you had included the whole 3 seconds of the silence following the train's whistle...
Thanks Fred.
Someone please upload the entire film...or at least the last battle starting from this scene to the very end. Awesome clip, by the way. I love how tense the music is when the clock approaches noon and we see the empty chair just before the train blows its whistle.
Director Fred Zinnemann insisted on using real clock shots to build suspense in High Noon. No CGI here, just pure old-school filmmaking! ⏰🎞
Clock's pendulum at 1:33... magnificent mix of music and movie...
My Favorite Scene
brilliant observation.
SO POWERFULL!!!
Frank Miller was a bad Mo-Fo. I wouldn't mess with him.
That is how it's done.
Every vignette has a beat of 1234 in the music. Count it.
just stunning

Yes, I assumed "dolly in" and "dolly zoom" were synonymous - seems not - my mistake. I imagine it would have been too hard for early cameramen to zoom in and out during live action without view finders like we have today to aid in such functions, especially as modern cameras are also so much more compact and versatile. Yet, even with the lack of technology, many a classic has superior cinematography to some modern movies - which just goes to show how the industry has changed... for the worse.
perfect
This was also a clip on the Cinemania CD-Rom Disc
And you should have read my comment more carefully. I never claimed that there was a "dolly zoom" (with this term i guess you mean the vertigo shot), I said it's a dolly-in, meaning a simple frontal move with the dolly towards the object (in this case combined with a little tilt).
Yes, it's possible that zoom lenses were invented earlier (I was too lazy to consult wikipedia on this one), but that's not the point: Zoom lenses came to broad use in Hollywood only as late as in the 60s.
I’ve seen this movie about three times and I’ve seen the opening credits about 100 times the scene in the church with the towns people. They all look ashamed for themselves and the way the bad guys are dressed at the airport at the train station. I’ve seen these guys in dozens of movies and they usually dress like thisdressing, not like these modern cowboy movies, but everybody is so clean and shaven
Lon Chaney!! Played the best old time movie monster, The werewolf. I don't want to hear any Dracula bs so miss me with that.
This is a great movie. Lee Van Cleef and ironically starring Gary kickass Cooper. Point?
Just because you've got the numbers, it don't make you 'right'.
Where are the men of today who has courage and guts?
actually, it's not a zoom (zoom lenses weren't invented back then), it's a dolly-in = even more awesome.
Gary Cooper and Dimitri Tiomkin forever !!
Load and Lock.
They just don't write movie music like this anymore
I do. Sadly my scripts remain trapped inside a screen, desperate to escape and come to life. And no I'm not joking.
+Bobbnoxious Well, before they can be able to write the music...they have to be able to write a classic script/story. They can't do that today.
+john doe I can but nobody will give me a chance, I've written quite a few westerns now.
Dja Works Really? Im an actor. Maybe we should hook up. :)
+john doe Omg seriously?! Email me at dpullen97@gmail.com (I'm 18) I have a near complete screenplay aswell as short stories and synopsis for future screenplay (western)
That's not a dolly zoom - if it were the chair would remain constant, while the background "moved" to change the perspective - but the entire shot moves in towards the chair and wall simultaneously. The framing is probably too tight to achieve a dolly zoom, the chair is too close to the wall to create the effect.
Also, zoom lenses were invented - the first were used in 1932 - 20 years before High Noon, by Cooke Optics.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you need to check or relearn your facts. :)
My lasst will!
1:21 Jesus, Larry, what happened to you?
please explain!
For me, it wasn't really a ""cowboy movie""...It showed a man confronted his fears and mortality,
What I never got was why he didn't just go out there with a rifle and take them out outside of town under cover.
I have a question: What is the thing about the empty chair? I don't get it...
That's where Frank Miller sat when they sentenced him to hang and he swore he'd come back and kill Gary Cooper.
name of the song?
Miguel Medina 2 minutes to 12
Red dead redemption 2 looks great
katy jurado,sure is hot........................................................................
Hey! That is the same tension that we see in Lucky Luke’s Daisy Town anime!
the one person plan is for perish-fate condemned person////the two persons plan is for socialized good behavior persons[religious,good citizensetc]///the three persons plan is for the evil-triangle[from geometrical triangle-plans like einsenstein-1928 que viva mexico!]
Best western Ever! Cary Grant greatest Cowboy of All Time!!!
What! Better than Billy Connolly?
Aye!
Why?
Cos he fell on his ass in the middle of a Rodeo!🤣😂🤣😂
Right and wrong.simple
I know it's just movie -- and by all accounts a great one -- but weren't there blue laws back then in a town that was respectable enough to have a church and a justice of the peace? How can the saloon be open on a Sunday morning in red-state America? Even today, New Mexico prohibits liquor sales before noon on Sunday. Good movie -- just seems a bit incongruous. And nobody gets married on a Sunday.
i was a little disappointed at miller’s character i can’t lie
How so? I mean, I don't blame you. The actor who played him is not well know at all.
Waffle. That is all.
Gary Cooper looks like Grace Kelly's grandfather. Not her husband. He was far too old for the role.
There's several reasons to hate High Noon and not the least of which is Its premise. To think that in the frontier towns of the West the town folk wouldn't defend their community is ridiculous. Ever here of Northfield, Minnesota? How about Coffeeville, Kansas? Both involved the attempted robbery of two banks simultaneously. Both failed miserably. The Northfield raid destroyed the formidable James/Younger gang and the Coffeeville disaster was the slaughter of Daltons all by enraged townsfolk who shot them all to hell as they used to say. Either of these two gangs made the fictional Frank Miller and his brothers look like s Sunday school class. Was it Stanley Cramer that made that asinine film? Well shame on him.
