     Произв. PAR (Уильям X. Пайи и Уильям С. Томас)

     Реж.  НИКОЛАС РЕЙ

     Сцен. Уинстон Миллер по сюжету Хэрриет Фрэнк-мл. и Ирвинга Равеча

     Опер. Дэниэл Фэпп (Technicolor)

     Муз. Хауард Джексон

     В ролях Джеймс Кэгни (Мэтт Доу), Вивека Линдфорс (Хельга Свенсон), Джон Дерек (Дэйви Бишоп), Джин Хёршолт (Свенсон), Грэнт Уизерс (Джентри), Эрнест Боргнайн (Морган), Рей Тил (шериф).

   50-летний Мэтт Доу и 20-летний Дэйви Бишоп едва успевают познакомиться друг с другом, как жители города Мэдисон, недавно пострадавшие от налета на поезд, принимают их за бандитов. Шериф и собранный им отряд обстреливают Мэтта и Дэйви, не давая им возможности сдаться. Их неминуемо бы повесили, если бы жители города не узнали в Дэйви своего. Мэтт отделался царапиной, но Дэйви опасно ранен в ногу. Его относят на ферму, где живет со своим отцом шведка Хельга Свенсон. Хельга и Мэтт выхаживают его. Дэйви оправляется от ран, но остается хромым. Чтобы искупить вину, обитатели Мэдисона предлагают Мэтту пост шерифа; тот соглашается и назначает Дэйви своим помощником. В это время двое неизвестных нападают на банк. Одного ловят на месте и отводят в тюрьму, после чего Мэтт пускается в погоню за вторым – бандитом по имени Морган – и вскоре привозит его в город. Однако, пока его не было, Дэйви не смог помешать жителям города повесить первого арестованного. Чуть позже Морган оглушает Дэйви и сбегает из тюрьмы.

   Мэтт просит руки Хельги у ее отца: за это время он узнал девушку получше и полюбил ее. Однажды утром в воскресенье, когда большинство горожан собралось в церкви, бандиты нападают на банк и подрывают динамитом сейф. Бандит по имени Джентри не подпускает прихожан близко. Когда-то он познакомился с Мэттом в тюрьме, куда тот попал из-за судебной ошибки, и теперь Мэтту приходится объясняться перед теми, кто избрал его шерифом. Вместе с Дэйви он преследует бандитов на территории команчей. Они попадают в песчаную бурю. Дэйви стреляет в Мэтта и ранит его в руку. Он признается, что вступил в сговор с Морганом и его бандой. Мэтт и Дэйви находят трупы бандитов, перебитых индейцами, которые не прикоснулись к деньгам. Мэтт готов снова поверить Дэйви. Им предстоит скрыться от индейцев, а затем ночью вплавь переправиться через реку. Доплыв до середины, Мэтт начинает тонуть и зовет Дэйви на помощь, но тот бросает его и плывет к берегу. Мэтту удается ухватиться за ствол дерева. Он выбирается к руинам индейского города и видит Дэйви в обществе Моргана, которого тут же убивает. Через несколько мгновений Морган собирает последние силы, тянется к револьверу и целится в Мэтта. Дэйви стреляет в Моргана, спасая жизнь Мэтту, но Мэтт неверно расценивает этот жест, полагая, будто юноша метит в него, и убивает Дэйви. Он слишком поздно осознает свою ошибку. Мэтт привозит деньги в город, говорит, что Дэйви вел себя отважно, и возвращается к Хельге.

   ►  После Джонни-Гитары, Johnny Guitar Николас Рей вновь переворачивает жанр вестерна с ног на голову и как в стиле, так и в характерах персонажей (в особенности Мэтта и Хельги) делает акцент на человеческие достоинства: мягкость, нежность, взаимопомощь, щедрость, умение прощать. В эти годы в Голливуде царит эпоха авторского кино, традиционные жанры становятся площадкой для творческих поисков и позволяют режиссерам развивать самые сокровенные темы. Рей построил этот фильм на взаимоотношениях отца/сына, которые часто рассматривал в своих картинах. Взрослый человек личным опытом, остатками сил и верой в жизнь пытается спасти юношу, катящегося в бездну. Юноша, неуютно чувствующий себя в собственном теле и окружающем мире, становится жертвой и неудачи, и общества, и своей слабохарактерности. Он трагический персонаж, и поэтому заслуживает уважения автора. Ни капли слащавости нет в этом нежном и элегичном фильме, который Николас Рей, пессимист поневоле, как и картину Стучись в любую дверь, Knock on Any Door, где герой Джона Дерека оказывался на электрическом стуле, снова завершает очень мрачной развязкой. Но параллельно с тем, как трагически обрываются его взаимоотношения с юношей, персонаж Кэгни, немолодой человек в конце длинного пути, усеянного бедами и разочарованиями, находит дорогу к любви и покою. Эта двойная и противоречивая сюжетная линия вызывает в повествовании глубокий надлом. По качеству вызываемых эмоций она характерна для мира Николаса Рея.
