Our International Women's Day Treat. When a lynch mob comes for saloon owner Vienna (a sizzling Joan Crawford), wrongly accusing her of murder, she doesn't need a man to defend her.
Nicholas Ray’s mesmerisingly strange western is fiercely unconventional and packed with double-crosses, outcasts, blazing fires and high stakes showdowns. Bold, dramatic and visually stunning - you won't want to miss it. Snubbed by American critics and audiences alike upon its original release, it found fans in Europe, notably Truffaut, who hailed it “a Western dream,” and Almodóvar, who references the film in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
