On the outskirts of town, the hard-nosed Vienna owns a saloon frequented by the undesirables of the region, including Dancin’ Kid and his gang. Another patron of Vienna’s establishment is Johnny Guitar, a former gunslinger and her lover. When a heist is pulled in town that results in a man’s death, Emma Small, Vienna’s rival, rallies the townsfolk to take revenge on Vienna’s saloon – even without proof of her wrongdoing.

Viewing Notes
This was a Filmspotting recommendation and also only seen on the TCM channel (no DVD release). So I recorded thanks to the tweet reminders and watched when my work day finished. Damn, Joan Crawford plays a real mean bitch. Surprised? I began to wonder if that scowl was permanently affixed to her face. Real entertaining watch and gun play. Always like a man that wield guns and guitars with equal mastery.
