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.

Enjoyable Western. Some may be put off by the melodrama, but for it's time, Crawford was a ground-breaking female protagonist.

Come for the cowboys, stay for Joan Crawford in a full ballgown acting everyone else under the table

Intriguing protocol-feminist western. Joan Crawford is mesmerizing.

Melodramatic western, but it really works most of the time.

I just wanted all the characters to have a shoot-out and just it get over. The scenery and Technicolor saved me.

Joan Crawford tugs this slow moving ship of a film behind her every step of the way. Worth a watch for her but not for much else
