Review of Johnny Guitar (1954) by Michael D — 30 Aug 2007
Rich , complex and riveting horse-opera from Ray that probably went on to inspire a million feminist film-theory essays, Johnny Guitar still stands as a brilliant piece of work and one of the greatest American movies of all time.
All the cast are fantastic but Mercedes McCambridge steals the show as the evilest bitch to ever walk the face of the earth. Never mind Hopkin's Hannibal - this lady is PURE INSANE HATRED.
A masterpiece among masterpieces - watch it and pine for days when Hollywood had the guts to make movies like this.
