A great book that covers the story of High Noon and the Blacklist with aplomb. I remember watching High Noon at least once a year when I was young - a truly great movie. Now this book fills in the gaps on how it was made and the political climate of the time. Much of the book describes how the main players (Foreman, Zimmerman, Kramer and Cooper) interacted with the HUAC and the red-baiting world of the early fifties. The book is balanced but paints a clear picture how so many people were hurt by the House committee. Also featured is how cowardly Hollywood was at standing up for the true principles. Read the book.
