Description

Johnny Guitar (Republic, 1954). Very Fine on Linen. Italian 4 - Fogli (53.5" X 77.25").
Nicholas Ray, one of Hollywood's most celebrated non-conformist directors, crafted this unique Western just a year before Rebel Without a Cause. In a bold twist on the genre, Johnny Guitar centers on two formidable women, Joan Crawford as Vienna and Mercedes McCambridge as Emma Small, locked in a fierce battle for revenge, and whose aggressive on- (and off) screen interaction has been interpreted over the years to have particular LGBTQ persuasions. This stunning Italian large format poster features a striking portrait of Crawford alongside scenes from the film. A first-time offering from Heritage and one of the most attractive posters for the title. There are small edge tears, pinholes, light touchup at spots, and a few small paper repairs.
