If you loved In a Lonely Place, try Johnny Guitar

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Nicholas Ray, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to In a Lonely Place, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Johnny Guitar is

Nicholas Ray here appears to be making a Western. A saloon owner is blamed for a crime actually committed by her lover, so she has to defend herself from the locals. It's a handy way to get Joan Crawford into some trousers, for sure.
