"In 1952 McCarthyism was in full swing. The House Un-American Committee had had many people in Hollywood blacklisted for either real or imagined Communist ties. Some in Hollywood felt that those who supported McCarthy were deserting their friends in their time of need. They decided to put that metaphor into a movie and made High Noon."
