    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      At one point, Johnny says, "I'm a stranger here myself." This was Nicholas Ray's own personal motto, a recurring theme in his movies, and reportedly the working title for just about every movie he directed.
    • Goofs
      When Johnny has the shootout with Bart in front of the hill-top cabin, Vienna is standing on the deck of the cabin, her body all the way to the timber railing. She is in sunlight. Then the view of her goes to a closeup, but now she is standing inside the door opening, in what is obviously a studio shot. This is probably connected to the fact that Joan Crawford insisted on her closeups only being filmed in the studio, where the lighting could be rigidly controlled. No closeups of her were shot on location.
    • Quotes
      • Vienna: [Spoken to Johnny Guitar, with a certain scornful bitterness] A man can lie, steal... and even kill. But as long as he hangs on to his pride, he's still a man. All a woman has to do is slip - once. And she's a "tramp!" Must be a great comfort to you to be a man.
