Customer Reviews of Johnny Guitar [Region 2]

Western where women rule
I first saw this movie some years ago and completely fall in love with it. The story, the actors, the directing, cinematography, et caetera. <

>Joan Crawford's Vienna & Mercedes McCambridge's Emma are the most unbelievable woman characters in Western movies. At first we see them both wearing colours for each state of the spirit. Vienna in black. Emma in green. It's a diversion from Nicholas Ray. In the course of the film the costumes colours are changed to match the true nature of the characters. <

>I think Emma is THE most evil woman character in cinema history. Those evil eyes when she spread fire over 'Vienna's Saloon' is speechless... And - now - she wears black and Vienna a long bright white dress. <

>In a very fabulous 'camp' aesthetic, 'Johnny Guitar' is unique.

Guitar... Johnny Guitar.
This is an old school western with a tough as nails lady who owns a saloon against a town of overbearing, gas bag, judgemental townsfolk. The movie is a wonderful trip back in time to a simpler hollywood where good guys are tall rugged and handsome and play a mean guitar. The women are as rough and tumble and can sling a six gun as fast as any man and Ernest Borgnine is a big old barrel chested gorilla that will brawl with the hero toe to toe, fist a flyin'. Sterling Hayden is the perfect hero and Joan Crawford with her big eyes and quick draw delivery is perfect as the heroine. This movie is a fun western and I highly recommend it.
