Robert Mitchum stars as old-hand rodeo rider Jeff McCloud in director Nicholas Ray’s flavoursome, rather special, character- and atmosphere-driven 1952 Western drama. It is one of Ray’s lesser-known but best movies. Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy, Arthur […]

Joan Crawford stars in Johnny Guitar as the strong-willed, gun-toting saloon queen called Vienna in her first Western since 1928’s The Law of the Range. Nicholas Ray’s 1954 camp, kitsch Western is irresistibly strange, indeed quite outlandish, and […]
