Weirdo Westerns 001: Johnny Guitar


This has to be the most avant garde western of the 1950s. The "Trucolor" photography still stuns in its vivid glory . Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden (the Johnny Guitar of The title) own every scene they are in. Mercedes Mccambridge plays the kind of alarmist villian that is all to real in our history. Nicholas Ray made a Western like no other, A true Weirdo movie.
