Episode description
In episode 3, Jimmy and Andy watch 1954's "Johnny Guitar", directed by Nicholas Ray (best known for directing "Rebel Without a Cause"). Joan Crawford is butch and dazzling as a gun-toting, strong willed saloonkeeper in this underappreciated classic that Francois Truffaut called a "hallucinatory" western. Roger Ebert felt the film contained a hidden commentary on the McCarthy witch-hunts, and The New Yorker called it a "proto-feminist masterwork".
