Review of Destry Rides Again (1939) by Ronnie P — 26 Sep 2008
A classic American western that's surprisingly comedic. James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich are electric.
Stewart is his usual, brilliantly empathetic self as a peace-loving deputy recruited to help bring order to the lawless town of Bottleneck. Dietrich seems just a little out of place as a sultry saloon singer, but her chemistry with Stewart more than compensates for any slight of casting. Destry Rides Again helped set the standard for the long list of western genre films that followed. This is good stuff!
