A fistful of film is back, this time with Nicholas Ray’s ‘Johnny Guitar’. Head down to the Ill Repute to watch the ‘Beauty and the Beast of Westerns, a Western dream’ (Truffaut). Joan Crawford is “Vienna”, a hard nosed owner of a saloon frequented by all the undesirables of the Arizona frontier and a past she’d rather forget. Nothing is as it seems in Vienna’s saloon, an upscale establishment offering roulette in a decaying western town where none of her customers will place a bet. The arrival of her ex-lover and infamous gunslinger “Johnny Guitar” (Sterling Hayden) coincides with a heist gone wrong. With a man’s death, trouble looms for Vienna as she faces a growing mob, vowing to take revenge on Vienna and her bar, even if they don’t have any proof. ++ Downstairs at The Ill Repute ++ Film starts at 7pm ++ Free entry - no admittance when all seats taken ++ Drinks available at the bar upstairs
