...classic Western justice film directed by Fred Zinnemann. Marshall Will Kane (Gary Cooper) is ready to retire and leave town to spend the rest of his life with his wife Amy (Grace Kelly). But Kane’s intentions are delayed when he receives news that a deadly outlaw he sent to prison is due to arrive on the noon train. Everyone knows the outlaw has come to seek revenge on the sheriff, but all are too frightened to help him fight. Although John Wayne harshly criticized the film upon its release, it has since garnered acclaim and was remade...
...surefire way to whip up a crowd this summer: "All governments are liars and murderers," says the voice of the late American outlaw-comic Bill Hicks, in a sound loop repeating over and over as 6,000 fans watch a giant screen flash images of George W.

The government claims the ban will effectively boost the number of skilled workers. But trade unions suspect a different motive. "People don't want to work longer," says Derek Simpson, general secretary of the Amicus...
...straight out of classic Hollywood, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Anglo-American spy spoof. If Bond and Matt Helm outrageously flout social norms, MM seems to follow an inverted morality, almost defying the reader to accept him. Yet there's something charmingly retro about Bahal's "outlaw" approach. His closest literary parallel is with the Beats: the grim, druggy surrealism of William S. Burroughs, the headlong rush of Jack Kerouac...
