Fred Zinnemann’s quintessential 1952 Western—at Film Forum in a new 35-mm. restoration—stars the pained, powerful Gary Cooper as a sheriff who must wait, as the clock ticks away in real time, for the return to town of the very bad man he put away. If you think 24 is nerve-racking, you’ll be devastated by this. (1 hr. 25 mins.; NR) — LOGAN HILL AND BILGE EBIRI

Opens April 30 at Film Forum, 212-727-8110
