''On this our wedding day.''|'''''The Ballad of High Noon'''''}}

 

* [[Cowboys and Indians]]: Kane runs into kids who imitate the battle between him and Miller, with him shot to death.

* [[Crapsack World]]: Hadleyville. Marshal Kane ask the town's help for stopping a returning villain and his gang. Only a 14-year-old, a half-blind old man and his pacifist wife tried to help him. His deputy wanted to help... but only to get Kane to appoint him as the next marshal. Lampshaded by...

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: While it doesn’t hurt that color wasn’t in vogue for serious/art films at the time, the black-and-white color schemes are suggestive of a good-vs.-evil conflict in a morally-complex story. The photography was intended to look 19th-century, and especially intended to resemble the solemn palettes from photography of the [[The American Civil War|Civil War]].

* [[Divided We Fall]]: Will's deputy refuses to help him unless Will agrees to him being the next marshal.

* [[Meek Townsman]]: Just about everyone in town.

* [[The Missus and the Ex]]: Amy and Helen. Although Helen Ramirez clearly still carries a torch for Kane, she helps persuade Amy to be the partner she knows he deserves:

'''Helen''': He is not my man. He's yours. }}

* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Frank Miller]]
