Wow, not a single comment?
JOHNNY GUITAR was one of those “essential cult movies” that I somehow never got a chance to see when I was in film school or later – I’m thinking that, now that it’s available on DVD and Blu-Ray, I should see if Netflix has it, or buy it if it’s not too expensive….
How have I never heard of this movie before?!?!?! It seems to hit all the “Rachel” buttons!
Wow. I had no desire to listen to this episode at all. Now, I really wanna see this movie. Thank you.
Rachel, it’s one of those “cult movies” that you hear about in film school – or did in the Seventies when I went. I’d heard about it, but it was largely unavailable then, so I never saw it.
I ordered the Blu-Ray, so we’ll see if it lives up to its reputation….
