What critics compared Rancho Notorious to
It’s as if Branagh and Blanchett view her as a glammed-up criminal matron like Marlene Dietrich in Rancho Notorious , or as the femme fatale of matriarchs .
Johnny Guitar is sometimes called a "Freudian" Western, for its backwards sexual motivations, and belongs to a fascinating subgenre of movies with strong matriarchs: Marlene Dietrich in Fritz Lang's Rancho Notorious (1952) and Barbara Stanwyck in Samuel Fuller's Forty Guns (1957).
It's a superb achievement, and it led to two more similar Freudian masterworks, Nicholas Ray's Johnny Guitar (1954) and Samuel Fuller's Forty Guns (1957).
