All of you who've seen Johnny Guitar have my envy.

[Raiders]

If anyone wanted to make a cheap blind buy, it would be rather easy to get a hold of Johnny Guitar. There are many VHS tapes on sale and you're not missing anything as the film was shot in Academy ratio.

It's on TCM sometimes, I'll just have to get lucky.

Yeah, I actually just ordered a Korean Region-free version of the dvd. Though it won't be here by the time the consensus ends, I rather love film responses to McCarthyism so I'm excited.

Why Bigger than Life also isn't available on the Region 1/free format, though, positively bewilders me.
