This work is a behind-the-scenes look at the making and influence of three classic Western movies bound together by the "code of honour" that they explore. "High Noon" (1952, directed by Fred Zinnemann), "Shane" (1953, directed by George Stevens), and "The Searchers" (1956, directed by John Ford), resonate with the rugged simplicity and honesty typifying the genre. The work examines the controversies surrounding the films, the problems experienced in their production, and the drama - or comedy - that occurred among the cast and crew members.
