At the tail end of Nicholas Ray's 1954 alt-Western Johnny Guitar, a moribund old hand utters a triumphant alas to his boss, Joan Crawford: "Look... everybody's looking at me. It's the first time I ever felt important." Appreciation for the outsider ripples across Ray's oeuvre, from the running lovers of his inspiriting debut, They Live By Night, to the torn-apart adolescents of Rebel Without a Cause. Film Forum reminds New York cineastes why this auteur merited that famed bouquet from Godard ("le cinéma, c'est Nicholas Ray") with 14 films over the next two weeks. Other essentials include the marvelous noir-in-snow, On Dangerous Ground, and the jazzy, Technicolor palette of Wind Across the Everglades.
