Michael Lehmann on

Johnny Guitar

Released 1954
Distributor Republic

Nick Ray’s wild “revisionist” western must be the most critically dissected Republic Picture ever. Pure fifties hysteria with Mercedes McCambridge at her most terrifyingly overwrought. Great cast and terrific score by Victor Young.
