Destry Rides Again

After the town’s sheriff is gunned down, corrupt saloon keeper Kent (Brian Donlevy) and his gal Frenchy (Marlene Dietrich) hold sway over the good folk of Bottleneck, as well as the local cattle ranchers. The call goes out for justice, and the answer comes in the form of gunless gunslinger Tom Destry, Jr. (James Stewart, in the first of many western roles), who brandishes only his unique wit and charm to bring order back to the town. Charles Winninger, Mischa Auer co-star; George Marshall directs from Max Brand’s novel. 95 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: Spanish, French.
