Green or red neckerchiefs on deep black or bright yellow blouses, shiny purple capes, (pale) red shirts, glowing red rocks, a colorful night sky - Ray's color scheme for clothing and landscapes has a signaling effect. At once an emotional reflection and a means of emphatic stylization, it is an essential component of one of Hollywood's most unusual Westerns about the eponymous erstwhile gunslinger turned guitar player Johnny (Sterling Hayden) and his former lover, the now wealthy saloon owner Vienna (Joan Crawford).
