Review of Destry Rides Again (1939) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Nov 2021

This is a black and white Western film, with the feel of a classic saloon depicted early on. I did think it had a charm to it. The sound quality is a bit unimpressive at times, with somewhat unclear dialogue but it is an old film, so this is perhaps to be expected?. There are some quirky characters and I liked the community feel to it - the characters seemed quite energised. The sheriff even has a banjo! It is certainly a bit cheesy but not really in a bad way. I thought the cast gave pretty good performances, primarily from James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich.

I also enjoyed the musical performances. It's perhaps a little cheesy but it's also amusing at times and I enjoyed it, so I'd recommend it, yes.
