Bonanza: Vendetta (1959)
"High Noon" turned into "Shootout at Tea Time."
I will keep this simple: if you watched, "High Noon," you will be able to guess what happens in this "Vendetta" episode. Saloon girl with a heart of gold, all of the townsfolk who talked the talk couldn't "walk the walk." The point was made that Ben financially helped someone in town; he saved the life of another. However, where were they when Ben needed him the most? Poor Hoss had to rely upon the town drunkard to help him, just like in "High Noon."
The only difference seems to be that Ben doesn't have a young filly like Gary Cooper had in "High Noon" to try to leave him behind. It goes to show how "friends" really are there for you, doesn't it?
This is one of the better knock-offs of "High Noon," however. And we get to see a young Chuck Bronson.
