I Desire Film

Im gonna Kill you......

Camp western classic with hidden Mcarthy agenda and subtle glbt themes
Vienna (Joan Crawford) has built a saloon outside of town, and she hopes to build her own town once the railroad is put through, but the townsfolk want her gone. When four men hold up a stagecoach and kill a man the town officials, led by Emma Small (Lesbian Icon Mercedes Mccambridge’ the Voice of Reagan in the Exorcist) come to the saloon to grab four of Vienna’s friends, the Dancin’ Kid and his men. Vienna stands strong against them, and is aided by the presence of an old acquaintance of hers, Johnny Guitar(Sterling Hayden), who is not what he seems,

This is a Watershed Lesbian Classic That the French critics have raved about  Calling its a ”Western” Beauty and the Beast Story..

Of Course the Beauty in this case is Sterling Hayden

There was not a lotta love lost between Crawford , Hayden and Mccambridge apparently , Crawford Wanted Claire Trevor for her arch Enemy Mistress who had been a big Feature in Westerns Featuring John Wayne (specially stagecoach 1939)and had an Oscar for her troubles in ”Key Largo”, But they Opted for ‘younger’ Mccambridge, which kind of makes the Animosity between the characters Believable

One of the last feature film produced by the Independent studio Republic Pictures better know for their John Wayne Movies

Like Destry and Ranch Notorious (both with Marlene Dietrich) The Woman Takes Center Stage in a Male dominated Gene .  and Does a Damm good Job of it!
