M . P . A . S . High Noon is a classic Western film that was released in 1952 by United Artists. It centers around the town marshal, played by Gary Cooper, who must face a gang of outlaw killers alone. The marshal is torn between his sense of duty and his new bride, protrayed by Grace Kelly. The events in the movie take place in real time. This drawing depicts the marshal walking down the deserted street of the town. This graphite drawing on frosted mylar is by Production Designer Rudloph Sternad, whose career spanned over three decades, and included the films Judgment at Nuremberg, Inherit the Wind and, The Caine Mutiny. The movie was filmed on location in Columbia, California, a preserved gold rush mining town (today, a state park near Sonora), and on the Columbia Ranch lot, which is now the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, CA. The town, Hadleyville, is never spoken in the film, but can be seen on signs in the train station and the town bank.
