Tom Destry, son of a legendary frontier peacekeeper, doesn’t believe in gunplay. Thus he becomes the object of widespread ridicule when he rides into the wide-open town of Bottleneck, the personal fiefdom of the crooked Kent.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Every movie that Marlene Dietrich done quite often she not portrait the character very well...she play itself in almost all movies...in this case happened the same she played a singer who knew all about what's going on table of cards...so suddenly appears the handsome like James Stewart and she turn back to your old pals....frankly is hard to believe,this why Dietrich wasn't take seriously in cinema,apart Rancho Notorious and Blue Angel which she was great...so in my opinion Dietrich was Overrated in your career,she also was arrogant and unfriendly most of actors and actress didn't like to work with her...l know why!!

This was very interesting and I enjoyed it significantly. It's weird watching very early James Stewart--he's not what one would consider a conventional romantic male lead--and this is a very bizarre Western/comedy/musical. Anything starring Marlene Dietrich of this vintage is priceless, no doubt. Very weird, especially considering America's ever-present right-to-bear-arms controversy, watching a film like this, too. A purely magical film that's essential to own and re-watch for any Stewart, Dietrich or Western enthusiasts--and a strong reason why 1939 was the greatest year ever for American cinema. A fine feather for director George Marshall's cap, to be sure.

It's a FUN film from start to finish. Jimmy Stewart - Marlene Dietrich - Brian Donlevey - Charles Winniger - Micha Auer and a gaggle of classic character actors hanging out in the Last Chance Saloon in the rough, tough town of Bottleneck. Who could ask for anything more ? Well, if you insist on more, there is the classic cat fight with Marlene and Una Merkel that left them both bruised for weeks. There's a mighty large fight at the end with all of the townsfolk, the bad guys and the women folk of the town involved. The town has a awful large population at this point. It looks like Times Square on New Years eve only with broom and mops.Dietrich SINGS a couple of songs including "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have" and she square dances with Stewart. this alone is worth a peek. If you somehow have not seen this one ... make an effort to find it. It's worth the search.

George Marshall directs this popular western comedy as Jimmy Stewart plays Tom Destry Jr., son of a famous lawman whose former deputy(now town drunk) is made Sheriff of the corrupt western town of Bottleneck, run by a ruthless man named Kent(played by Brian Donlevy)and aided by saloon singer Frenchy(played by Marlene Dietrich) who just murdered the most recent sheriff, who had been asking too many questions about Kent's corrupt gambling house. When Destry Jr. arrives, people are shocked at the mild-mannered man they see, who doesn't like to use guns, but instead his wit! They then dismiss him as a threat, but that turns out to be a mistake...OK western spoof(of sorts) is amusing but hardly a comedic gem, and not very credible either, with an all-too predictable romance between Frenchy and Destry. Still, it's amiable enough, and Stewart is quite good.
