The last on my "Western" themed movie, "High Noon" with Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly, Lloyd Bridges and a very young (and underutilized Villain) Lee Van Cleef, whom you'd recognize as the Villain from "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" Trilogy.

The hook for this one is that it's filmed in "Real Time", or rather, the action of the film is supposed to be the hour and half leading up to the showdown. A Marshal gets married (Middle aged Gary Cooper, Young Grace Kelly), and when about to leave for his honeymoon is forced to stay back and deal with some outlaws arriving on the Noon train. 

OK, the hook of "real time" is of course a little overstated, while the clocks in the movie keep pace with the time, action is condensed to fit the narrative.

Better than "The Searchers", but I'm rather done with the Western Genre...
