Camp is as camp does . . .

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. . . .
