Review of Johnny Guitar (1954) by Andy P — 03 Nov 2013
On the surface, Johnny Guitar is just another throwaway Republic Western. But watching it, I realized that something else is going on.
This movie has nothing to do with the Western genre and everything to do with sex. Like Ebert, I wonder if this movie was made to make fun of the censors. I honestly can't imagine anyone with any intelligence not seeing the erotic subtext.
I am not a big fan of Joan Crawford overall. But I sure love her in this role.
I happened to catch this on AMC. XBox has it available to stream for 4 bucks.
