Górka's striking treatment in this work contrasts greatly with the photographic realism of American posters for such Hollywood Western films. The widespread Polish fascination with the mythic themes of the American West continued into the late 1980s; the most famous Solidarity poster for the first free elections in Poland, in 1989, featured Gary Cooper in his 1952 role as the sheriff in High Noon, carrying a ballot.
