At The Projection Booth, friend of the Gutter Mike White discusses the classic, campy and Queer Western Johnny Guitar (1954). “Western Month continues with a look at Nicholas Ray’s Johnny Guitar. Released in 1954 the film stars Sterling Hayden as the titular Mr. Guitar. However, he’s outshone in the film by Joan Crawford as Vienna and Mercedes McCambridge as Emma, two women with a history. Andras Jones and David Kittredge join Mike to discuss this unusual Western.”

Great picture by a true cinematic genius. Sterling Hayden is the only actor I can think of who had the singularly strange honor of starring opposite both Bette Davis (in “The Star”) and Joan Crawford.
