	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| Nicholas Ray: Johnny Guitar
		Sterling Hayden, an actor who wasn't exactly a major star but certainly had an unforgettable screen presence, is Johnny Guitar, a gunslinger who is summoned by his ex-lover Vienna (Joan Crawford) to protect her saloon from the violent opposition of the locals, who fear her plans to build a rail station.
		It is difficult to describe what makes Johnny Guitar so fascinating, except to say that Ray's orchestration of Philip Yordan's almost literary screenplay gives a small budget film, made for Republic Studios, a kind of heady but clipped dignity which renders Truffaut's remark about a "hallucinatory Western" seem a good deal less daft than Godard's.
		Johnny, who no longer carries a gun, is still in love with Vienna.

	Johnny Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnny Guitar is a 1954 Western, famed for its unusual storyline and colourful cinematography.
		Truffaut was especially impressed by the film's extravagance: the bold colors, the poetry of the dialogue in certain scenes, and the theatricality which results in cowboys vanishing and dying "with the grace of ballerinas".
		The style Johnny Guitar of is very different from the realism that dominates the work of classical Western directors such as John Ford and Howard Hawks, and this expressive boldness can be looked at as a form of allegory.

	Images - 30 Great Westerns
		Johnny Guitar (1954) is a film about the House Un-American Activities Committee, the fear of communists and the drive to have members of the Hollywood community name names.
		Johnny’s gun crazy obsession and a desire to leave the past behind may have resonated with Hayden’s own need to find peace from his tortured conscience.
		But the biggest highlight for me is in an odd-bit of casting: Ward Bond (a true offscreen heavy and friend of HUAC who during the early '50s ferreted out industry "commies" as his patriotic duty) portrays a hate-mongering ideologue who ultimately seems to feel remorse for what he and his kind have wrought.

		In fact, Johnny Guitar was always considered a classic in that country; Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard both praised and were inspired by the film.
		The title character Johnny's role in the film's proceedings is almost immediately negligible: He's on hand for Vienna's early saloon confrontation with the angry town-mob and the subsequent tussle between them and the outlaws who have sought refuge from a sandstorm...
		Even after Johnny and Vienna---former lovers in the story---have reunited and Vienna starts symbolically wearing a white dress rather than her former fl pants ensemble (leading us to believe she's gone all passive and femme), Johnny is still incapable of action.

		It is my opinion that these guitars were 1958's due to the more squared off horns on each cutaway (the later 59's and 60's horns were a bit smaller and more rounded).
