For a real crazy ride with Hayden and Joan Crawford, look for "Johnny Guitar" Directed by Nicolas Ray, 1954. Shows up every so often on TCM or when Crawford is featured on a film review weekend. Has an uncredited appearance by Dennis Hopper (Ray later put him in Rebel Without A Cause).

Hayden is one of those actors, like Robert Mitchum, who were better than their press.
