It was produced by Republic Pictures and shot in the candy-coloured Trucolor format.Vienna (Crawford) is the owner of a saloon in a town in Arizona that's in a period of transition. A successful businesswoman, she is the object of envy by Emma Small (McCambridge), a cattle baron's daughter who loathes Vienna and the new level of influence she would have at the onset of a railroad that Vienna supports against the interest of the cattle owners. Things change for Vienna with the unexpected arrival of two men. The Dancin' Kid (Brady), the leader of a band of outlaws, who is accused of holding up a stagecoach and enjoys flirting with Vienna, the other is Johnny "Guitar" Logan (Hayden), a drifter with a guitar who is also an Old Flame that Vienna hoped to forget. The explosive relationships between the characters soon get out of control, plunging them into chaos.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Famous in later years for being an "avant-garde" Western, Johnny Guitar is known for its bright colours and visuals, its unusual set design, strong female protagonists and anti-authoritarian sentiments; rare for Westerns of The '50s. The theme song is also remembered for appearing in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bizarrchitecture: Vienna's Saloon is oddly located and carved into the base of a canyon above a mine shaft. It's especially obvious in the interiors of the saloon and see natural canyon rock formations in the interiors used as a rear wall. Film critics noted that it was especially reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural philosophy blending natural and man-made materials.note The director Nicholas Ray as a young man, did apprentice under Wright's Taliesin community of artists.
