That’s an ironic application since the whole plot of High Noon is the absence of solidarity in the face of a threat. Rio Bravo was made as a rejection of the idea that Americans would behave like they do in High Noon.

Yeah, but I think under Communism people felt isolated; each person who went to vote felt like they might be the only one. I think the point was, even if you're the only one, you have to walk out to face the fire.

But then, that's my interpretation. I've never asked any Poles what they thought about it.

I'll have to watch Rio Bravo again. It's been decades.
