Plot: Marlene Dietrich purrs through sexy songs, and Jimmy Stewart succumbs to her sultry, androgynous ways in this seminal Western with more than a touch of comedy. He plays your average nice guy who turns...( read more read more... )

    James Stewart stars as the son of a famed law man Tom Destry who happens not to like violence as the answer to every situation. Stewart is gives one of my favorite performances of his, my favorite of him in a western setting and Marlene Dietrich, in a career reviving role, is stunning and funny. Brian Donlevy plays the bad guy and does it with his usual great smugness. This is a good western which I recommend if you can find it.

    A number of wonderful Dietrich performances ('You've got that look!") and a lovely character played by by Jimmy Stewart. And there's a fabulous scene where the women revolt and take over the town!

    I'm asking myself why I waited so long to watch this one, being a James Stewart western that has a 7.8 on IMDb. Stewart's character is somewhat dorky, yet extremely badass at the same time. It's hard to explain, so I'm just telling you to watch this. This shot up into my Top 15 westerns, that's for sure.

    Superior comedy Western and one of Stewart's best early roles. Outside of Warner Bros, studio-era Hollywood didn't get much better than this.

    One of my favorite westerns cause the good guy doesn't use guns, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how.

    Marlene Dietrich is a very strong woman, I would have liked to have seen how Jimmy got on with her off-set. A comedy western that will run through your emotions like an olympic sprinter (most of the time with a smile on your face).

    The brilliant partnership of Stewart and Dietrich supplies the laughs and romance, a timeless story of a pacifist gunslinger forced to fight by a ruthless gang supplies the action. Classic.
