Review of Johnny Guitar (1954) by Matt H — 23 Dec 2013
It is the rarest of westerns, the revisionist one that is completely believable and utterly fascinating. Two extremely butch, strong-willed women are engrossed in a deadly , hateful feud against each other .
One is pure evil, the other is basically good but misunderstood. And both control the rowdy, violent men around them who choose which side to be on, through sheer willpower. Sure, it is ugly in its intensity, but it also impossible to resist.
