1952: Is "High noon" the best western ever?

Where does "High noon" rank?   My vote is for one of the best westerns ever, somewhere between John Wayne's "The shootist" and "Gunfight at the OK corral".  

The cast is extraordinary:  Gary Cooper, Lloyd Bridges and Grace Kelly.      The film is from 1952 so I don't know if this was Grace Kelly's first major movie.

Excellent movie and the ending scene is fantastic.
