Johnny Logan, un antiguo y brillante pistolero que ahora lleva guitarra en lugar de revólver y ha cambiado su apellido natal por el de Guitar, recorre en solitario las montañas. Una explosión provocada por los trabajadores del ferrocarril interrumpe su camino. Entonces, desde lo alto de una colina, observa cómo un grupo de bandidos asalta una diligencia en una explanada. La operación se salda con un muerto. Poco después, llega Johnny Guitar a un insólito y solitario bar casino cuya dueña, Viena, que cinco años atrás fue la amante del pistolero, acude a su llamada. Para Viena, su garito constituye la culminación de sus sueños de estabilidad; ahora pretende promocionarlo gracias a que aproximadamente pasará el ferrocarril por los alrededores.. (Filmin)

This is exactly the type of film that makes me love Joan Crawford so much. She’s strong, confident, and in her own way, extremely beautiful. Plus, you have the intriguing presence of Sterling Hayden and the story about the cruelty of people and how life can be unjust even in the Wild West. A great western with fantastic colors that's definitely worth watching.

Johnny Guitar is a western from another world occupying the allegorical space between reality and a bad dream (or do we find ourselves squarely in the characters’ subconscious?). It is at times a tense psycho-thriller (the opening scene with a spinning roulette wheel and the wind howling outside), at other times a satanic horror flick (a night-time lynching, obviously reflecting McCarthy’s witch hunt), and at its core a heavy melodrama, but one in which it is not entirely clear until the climax who longs for whom. The cynical and mentally unstable protagonists (as in most of Ray’s films) are a representative sample of post-war American society, with Vienna as an emancipated woman to whom a man, ignorant of the new conditions, returns from the war. The crucial motif of the circle (roulette wheel, chandelier), the colour symbolism emphasised at the boundary of camp (Crawford constantly changes costumes), the formalistic virtuosity and the riveting pace of the narrative. This is a film in which so much happens and that can be "read" in so many different ways that the first viewing will be just the beginning of a beautiful friendship for any lover of the dark side of classic Hollywood. 85%

A western movie named after a typical dandy who thought that he was the king of the wild west but who was easily overtaken by two usurping dominatrices. One glance at them is enough to see who the true ruler is. Certainly an interesting piece within its genre where the only memorable thing are the two girls. They’re not something you get to see everyday.
