*** This review may contain spoilers ***
*Plot and ending analyzed*
From Noon Til Three is a pretty lousy movie. Not only is the acting not up to par, the script isn't that convincing. It seems like a cross between a comedy and a play, with disastrous results. Charles Bronson is annoying to watch, since he's a wooden actor, and if he's not in constant action, then he'll wear you down really quick. He's not likable at all here, switching his clothes with an innocent dentist, who later gets shot by the posse who was after him (Charles Bronson).
Jill Ireland is his love interest. Jill Ireland is wooden as well. She sleeps with him right off the bat, why, I'm still trying to figure that one out. Probably because in real life they were married and Bronski put it in the contract that she had to be in every movie that he did. Unfortunately. They have three hours before his gang comes back so they spend their time in bed, or near a pond, or in a parlor. Sounds about as much fun as having sand poured over your head.
Jill Ireland thinks he gets shot and a book is written about their love romance, which becomes famous. Charles Bronson was actually put into prison for a year and when he comes back, no one believes it's him. That's pretty much it. It's not believable at all and makes for a long viewing because of the tedious scenes.
Charles Bronson was better in Breakheart Pass (1975), Chato's Land (1972), or The Magnificent Seven (1960).
You are probably better off rewatching those movies again, or just rereading Elmore Leonard's Western books, or chopping firewood for the next cold season.
