Quotes:
Narrator: The legend of Chile Verde tells of men and women who became slaves to their passions. They paid the price here under the blistering, burning, blazing, scorching, roasting, toasting, baking, boiling, broiling, steaming, searing, sizzling, grilling, smoldering, VERY HOT New Mexico sun. For there is a saying in these parts: those who lust in the dust shall die in the dust. more

Camp is as camp does . . ., 2 May 1999
7/10
Author: Peter Burgess Griggs from Bloomsfield, New Jersey

This movie should be the cult kinky western of the 1980s, as Johnny Guitar is the kinky cult western of the 1950s.

Too bad Divine and Joan Crawford never did a western together - now THAT would be a sight to behold! Johnny Guitar Lusts in the Dust - with Mommie Dearest as Divine's divine mommie. . . .
