Roger Ebert: differenze tra le versioni

:[...] ''I wonder if they even openly spoke of the movie's buried themes. One is certainly bisexualism; Crawford's tavern-owner Vienna is, it is claimed, in love with "Johnny Guitar" (Sterling Hayden), but has not seen him in five years. She effortlessly turns tough hombres into girly-men, and her bartender observes to Johnny, "I never met a woman who was more man." Her archenemy Emma (Mercedes McCambridge) is allegedly in love with "The Dancin' Kid" (Scott Brady) and is jealous because he is allegedly in love with Vienna'' [...] ''But there is hardly a moment when Emma can tear her eyes away from Vienna to glance at the Kid. All of the sexual energy is between the two women, no matter what they say about the men. Crawford wanted Claire Trevor for the role, but the studio, perhaps having studied the script carefully, insisted on McCambridge, who was not a lesbian but played one, as they say, in the movies.''<ref name="Johnny Guitar"/>

Since the heroes and the gimmicks tend to repeat from film to film, only a great villain can transform a good try into a triumph.''<ref>{{en}} Da ''[http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/star-trek-ii-the-wrath-of-khan-1982 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Movie Review (1982)]'', ''Rogerebert.com'', 1 gennaio 1982.</ref>
