Review of Johnny Guitar (1954) by Rory P — 13 Nov 2014
One for the "So bad, it's hilarious" pile. Once you get past the notion of Joan Crawford, a former hooker (suggested, not actually stated), so successful, she bought a saloon/casino joint and the two men who vie for her heart, The Dancing Kid and Johnny Guitar, (even the young gun-slinger, Turkey, has a thing for her.
- Man, it must've been real lonely in the old west) the real star of this show is Mercedes McCambridge. Her female James Cagney-esque character seems like it was created and played by Martin Short, even down to that weird, crazy smile.
