I am somewhat shocked by "From Noon Till Three". I had never seen this film until today and I had no idea what to expect except that I always want to like Charles Bronson films but I often have a tough time doing so as they are mostly too dour and violent. But "From Noon Till Three" did not fit into the typical Bronson mold. It was not excessively violent nor sad, at least until the end. I had really hoped for a happy ending but be forewarned that this story's ending is well unique.
This film shows that a man can't always live up to his legend; that there's a difference between men and myth, reality and fantasy, and some people prefer one over the other. This film also features nice cinematography and good music with one ditty sung by Jill Ireland herself. She does a nice job playing a stoic beauty who is perhaps overly romantic. Also I must say once again that this film is ultimately a fantasy or fairy tale, not to be taken too seriously, but as stated be forewarned that it doesn't have the happiest of endings.
Though the real life famous couple of Ireland and Bronson surely did know a thing or two about fame and its effects, on both the stars and the fans, so were in a qualified position to spin this interesting yarn which may actually say a great deal about fame, myth, and legend and how various persons view it and value it. So all in all, I will rate this unique western a 6/10.
