Charles Bronson has the good fortune of having his horse step into a chuck hole and it having to be destroyed. Good luck because he was a member of Douglas Fowley's gang on the way to rob a bank. The gang parks him with romantic widow Jill Ireland and they have a romantic idyll of sorts From Noon Till Three.
Ireland, a widow who is well fixed did not have much romance in her life while her much older husband was alive and none after he died. She's full of all kinds of notions of true love and Bronson comes along admirably suited to fulfill those notions. But the romantic idyll they create soon overwhelms them.
Bronson and Ireland as real life husband and wife certainly loved working together. They certainly have a familiarity that translates well on screen. When Bronson is her "guest" for those hours you're never quite sure if he's pitching a line to this obviously love starved widow. After a while you don't care and are rooting for him to hit a home run.
Fowley and the rest meet a sad end, but Bronson and Ireland create their own story. I can't say much more, but From Noon To Three is a great tribute to the John Ford maxim from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
Print the legend they certainly did.
