Give it a chanceOffbeat western, with great performances. Don't be put off by the title.Score: 1/5

Overwrought angst-fest of endless clichesThis is a real pot-boiler of a overcooked hamfest, with a script so sodden with adolescent aggression that every character behaves like a juvenile delinquent, ready to explode. This is a western cousin to Petrified Forest and just about any angry,overwrought, dialogue-heavy film you have ever imagined. Every one of the cast and crew must have been on a diet of a half-gallon of maalox a day. I can't iagine how Ward Bond sould stand doing this picture. It reminds one of how much they don't like Joan Crawford and indicates of how much booze Sterling Hayden required to stop from tearing her head off..Score: 2/5

Deutsch
Der ehemalige Revolverheld Johnny „Guitar“ Logan hat der Gewalt abgesagt, wird aber von seiner ehemaligen großen Liebe Vienna um Hilfe gebeten. Diese hat in einer kleinen Wüsten-Stadt Land aufgekauft um in weiser Voraussicht die Eisanbahn-Industrie zu unterstützen. Aufgehetzt durch die intrigante Großgrundbesitzerin Emma setzten die übrigen Rancher Vienna unter Druck ihr Land abzutreten, woran die stolze Frau nicht im Traum denkt. Grund für den Hass zwischen Emma und Vienna ist Johnny Guitar, der sich vor Jahren für Vienna entschied, mit ihrem früheren Lebensstil als Hure aber nicht zurecht kommt. Als sich Vienna mit Unterstützung von Johnny und einigen weiteren Männern gegen die Erpresser stellt kommt es zum entscheidenden Kampf zwischen Emma und Vienna…

Viena fica firme contra eles, e é auxiliada pela presença de um velho conhecido dela, Johnny Guitar, que não é o que parece.

Dansk
Nicholas Rays western, der har Joan Crawford, hendes mand Sterling Hayden og Mercedes MacCambridge i hovedrollerne, er nok mest kendt for de næsten dyriske slagsmål mellem de to kvinder i filmens historie. Crawford spiller saloonejeren Vienna, der har planer om at bygge en hel by omkring sit værtshus, når jernbanen kommer. Men der er mange, der vil hende til livs, og til sidst kommer en gammel ven, Johnny Guitar, hende til undsætning.

Pусский

svenska
Johnny "Guitar" Logan kommer tillbaka till sin gamla flamma Vienna, och får reda på att traktens starka kvinna, Emma, försöker driva Vienna från stan och stänga hennes saloon.

Český
Americký western Johnny Guitar, natočený podle stejnojmenného románu Roye Chanslora z roku 1953, byl v době své premiéry v červnu 1954 jednoznačně odmítnut odbornou kritikou i diváckou veřejností. Prvním, kdo se filmu zastal a rozpoznal jeho kvality, byl francouzský kritik (a později slavný režisér) Francois Truffaut, který ve své dobové recenzi mj. napsal, že mu snímek připomíná Krásku a Zvíře s tím, že Kráskou je tu Sterling Hayden (představitel titulní postavy) a Zvířetem Joan Crawfordová, která s gustem ztělesnila majitelku saloonu Viennu. Dnes je Johnny Guitar právem pokládán za klasické dílo padesátých let, které svým příběhem i zpracováním předběhlo dobu. Příběh tvrdé Vienny a její bývalé lásky, pistolníka Johnnyho Logana, který si teď říká Johnny Guitar, se sice odehrává ve westernových reáliích (natáčelo se v okolí arizonského městečka Sedona s proslulými červenými skalními útvary), ale svým laděním spíš inklinuje k tehdy populárnímu filmu noir.

ελληνικά
H Vienna (Joan Crawford) είναι ιδιοκτήτρια ενός σαλούν κάπου στην Aριζόνα για τους άγριους και τους απόκληρους μιας μικρής πόλης. Ανάμεσα σ' αυτούς, ο επικηρυγμένος ληστής Dancing Kid (Scott Brady) και η συμμορία του, θανάσιμοι εχθροί της φαμίλιας που διοικεί την πόλη και επιδιώκει με κάθε μέσο τη διατήρηση της θέσης της. O Johnny Guitar (Sterling Hayden) είναι ο πρώην εραστής της ο οποίος επιστρέφει, δηλώνει ερωτευμένος μαζί της και αναλαμβάνει την προστασία του μαγαζιού της. H ζωή δείχνει να βελτιώνεται, μέχρι τη στιγμή που θα φτάσει στην πόλη ο Dancing Kid με σκοπό να ληστέψει την τράπεζα. Oι κάτοικοι της πόλης υποψιάζονται πως η Vienna έχει σχέση με όλα αυτά κι αποφασίζουν να πάρουν το νόμο στα χέρια τους. Όταν τέσσερις φίλοι της κατηγορούνται άδικα για φόνο, η Vienna και ο Johnny θα κάνουν τα πάντα για να αποδοθεί σωστά η δικαιοσύνη.

Born to Be Bad (1950) summary, synopsis, reviews
Born to Be Bad (1950)Drama1950

Man hunter Christabel Caine (Joan Fontaine) sets her traps for Nick Bradley (Robert Ryan) and Curtis Carey (Zachary Scott) in director Nicholas Ray's scandalous tale of lust and betrayal, costarring Joan Leslie and Mel Ferrer. If Christabel ever drew an honest breath, she'd probably choke to death. Innocent and sweet on the outside, Christabel is a conniving liar who'll do anything to anyone for her own gain. Stealing away her roommate's fiancé (Scott) so she can marry him for his money, Christabel entices her former lover (Ryan) into continuing their affair, an act of reckless passion that could topple all her schemes. Noted for its biting dialogue and Fontaine's chilling performance as a ruthless femme fatale, Born to Be Bad is wickedly subversive, "a lively, vicious and daring film" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader).

Bitter Victory summary, synopsis, reviews
Bitter VictoryDrama1958

A World War II drama starring Richard Burton (Academy Award(r) nomination for Best Actor, Equus, 1977 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?, 1966) and Curt Jurgens (The Spy Who Loved Me) as Captain Leith and Major Brand, a pair of British Army officers assigned to execute a daring commando raid on the Libyan stronghold of General Rommel. Before the mission even begins, the tension between the two is evident, a situation that is only exacerbated when Brand learns that Leith was once romantically involved with his wife, Jane (Ruth Roman, TV's Knott's Landing ). Once the operation is underway, Brand's cowardice forced Leith to step in and kill a German soldier. This act only adds to Brand's hatred for his second-in-command and as it grows, a series of disasters threaten the men and the success of their mission. Who will live, who will die, and what price honor?

We Can't Go Home Again summary, synopsis, reviews
We Can't Go Home AgainClassics1973

Restored and reconstructed from its 1973 Cannes version, legendary director Nicholas Ray’s experimental masterpiece WE CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN embodies the director’s practice of filmmaking as a “communal way of life.” Made with his college students in upstate New York, the film features Ray as mentor, friend, and reference point to his students and their stories of love, sex, rebellion, and lost innocence. With its expressionistic colorization, the film exemplifies Ray’s groundbreaking approach to multiple-image storytelling, providing a unique, almost anthropological perspective in recording the “history, progress, manners, morals, and mores of everyday life” at a critical moment in 1970s America.

The American Friend summary, synopsis, reviews
The American FriendDrama1977

Wim Wenders pays loving homage to rough-and-tumble Hollywood film noir with The American Friend, a loose adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel Ripley’s Game. Dennis Hopper oozes quirky menace as an amoral American art dealer who entangles a terminally ill German everyman, played by Bruno Ganz, in a seedy criminal underworld as revenge for a personal slight—but when the two become embroiled in an ever-deepening murder plot, they form an unlikely bond. Filmed on location in Hamburg and Paris, with some scenes shot in grimy, late-seventies New York City, Wenders’s international breakout is a stripped-down crime story that mixes West German and American film flavors, and it features cameos by filmmakers Jean Eustache, Samuel Fuller, and Nicholas Ray.
