Johnny GuitarPG

Directed by Nicholas Ray | USA | 1954 | 1h 50m | Starring Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden, Mercedes McCambridge, Ernest Borgnine, Ward Bond

On the edge of town, Vienna runs a saloon that attracts a clientele of outcasts and drifters. After a spate of violent robberies, she finds herself fighting for her life and her livelihood when a rival stirs up a lynch mob and frames her for a crime she didn’t commit. Dismissed by American audiences at the time of its release, the film found champions among European critics and has since been hailed as one of the greatest westerns ever made, rich with feminist themes and ripe for Freudian interpretation.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
