In a Lonely Place was a on a top 5 list the very first episode of Filmspotting I listened to back in 2013. Not that it needs the boost over Johnny Guitar, but that would be it
What an unfair and heartbreaking match-up! The deep loneliness and pathos of In a Lonely Place versus the hysterical Johnny Guitar. My head has to go Lonely, but my heart goes Guitar.
I was born when Sam kissed my inbox with the 50s play-in polls. I died when they left IN A LONELY PLACE out in the play-in cold. I lived a few days while the cruel results weren’t yet available to me.
The only way I’d have even considered JOHNNY GUITAR over IN A LONELY PLACE is if it had been given its proper name—VIENNA. Joan Crawford chews up the old west but Bogey and Grahame are unbeatable.
"That's a lot of man you're carryin' in those boots, stranger!"
oh MY.
There was something about that Gloria Grahame performance that I loved in In a Lonely Place, let alone the Bogart performance. Those melodramatic cowboys were too much.
In a Lonely Place all the way. Really I'm commenting so I can recommend Dorothy B. Hughes's original novel. While the film is melodrama noir, the novel is moonless midnight noir. A recent edition has a fantastic and insightful afterward by the reigning queen of noir, novelist Megan Abbott.
Bogart's best performance next to The Treasure of Sierra Madre. Do the right thing folks.
It's hard to believe a movie as meaty as In a Lonely Place has to suffer the indignity of a play-in, but fortunately it's up against thin gruel. And as bad as Johnny Guitar is, it loses still more points for wasting the always-excellent Sterling Hayden.
Disappointing that these are in play in round, considering some of the movies not in it.
In a Lonely Place - a perfect film that shows the dark side of being an artist.
But Johnny Guitar is better then perfect - it has many flaws and weird choices, but all of the craziness create something truly powerful -could be my favorite western, or favorite film of the 50's'.
One of my favorite films ever versus a film that's pretty awesome. Classic Madness.
