Jimmy Stewart stars with top-billed Marlene Dietrich in George
Marshall's comedy-Western Destry Rides Again (1939, Universal,
$14.98), in which he plays the non-violent son of a famous gunfighter
who falls for the lure of a barroom singer (Dietrich). While not a major
film, it's one of those odd Hollywood mixtures where everything comes
together just right.
