JOHNNY GUITAR (Special Price)

[Machine Translation] A unique western revived with "Janey Guitar," a melancholy masterpiece that has captivated the world! Directed by Nicholas Ray ("Rebel Without a Cause") ('55), this unique Western centered on a conflict between two women who burn with hatred, and stirs the emotions of the viewer. It was the first color film in which the great prewar actress Joan Crawford appeared, and the only western film of its kind. The theme song "Janey Guitar," composed by Victor Young and sung by Peggy Lee, made this film unforgettable. --The film takes place at a time when ranchers and railroad companies were at odds with each other as the sound of railroad construction echoed throughout the West. In a remote Arizona valley, a man named Johnny Guitar (S. Haydon) arrives at a gambling parlor with a guitar on his back. The proprietress, Vienna ( J. Crawford ), knows about the construction of a railroad in the area and is determined to make a success of her business here. She calls her former lover, Johnny, and hires him. Then, a group of the town's landowners arrived in a violent manner, accompanied by the sheriff. Emma ( M. McCambridge ), a strong woman who lost her brother in a daytime stagecoach attack, decides that the attackers are the Dancing Kid ( S. Brady ) and his gang, and she urges the sheriff to arrest them and Vienna, who refuses to cooperate. The landowner, Ana, is a stranger to the area and hates the settlement of Viena. In the midst of this unsettled atmosphere, the Kid appears on the scene. Please note that some parts of the film may be difficult to see due to the condition of the existing film.
