Movie Reviews of Destry Rides Again
Movie Review: EXCELLENT PRISTINE PRINT
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that just about every film made in 1939 was great and "Destry Rides again" is certainly no exception to that claim..1939 was truly the Golden Age of Hollywood.I won't bother to review the plot as it is well covered in the many other reviews. I hesitated to buy the DVD as there were a few reviews claiming that the transfer was not up to par,overexposed,scratches etc. but I always loved this film and was willing to chance it and was glad that I did purchase it as the transfer to DVD was excellent,clear as any film made today if not clearer..I can only surmise that the reviews that claim that it was a poor transfer were referring to the VHS version and not the DVD.It certainly held up well for all it's 69 years and to see and hear Marlene Dietrich sing " See what the boys in the backroom will have" was worth the price of the DVD.

Movie Review: Destry Rides Again - and again
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who are not aware of the brilliant comedy western genre, this DVD will be a delight. The quiet, straight guy, James Stewart, the typical dance hall queen, Marlene Dietrich, and the superior comedy of Mischa Auer, combine to keep the action moving, while the 'bad guys' get found out and peace is restored to the town again.
All of this with humour and fun, which makes it rank as one of the true classic westerns of all time.
If you have never seen Stewart or Dietrich on the screen, or even if you have never heard of them, this film will give you a glimpse of the hay-day of the American Cinema, when Hollywood was turning out hit after hit in 1939.
I highly recommend it to anyone of all ages.
Movie Review: More than brilliant!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
With 2 entertaining couples (Dietrich-Stewart & Merkel-Auer), 2 excellent actors (Donlevy & Winninger), a very good supporting cast, all directed by one of the best (George Marshall) with a perfect mix of seriousness and fun with (more than) a touch of self-derision, my only wonder is how could anyone (including Marshall) think they could get a remake to be worthwhile, and how come it does not rank in the top 10 of the genre: 7 years before 'My Darling Clementine', it showed much more invention and acting???Movie Review: Destry Rides Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Contagious western comedy features Stewart at his most appealing, and Dietrich's also in her element, singing the famous "The Boys In The Back Room". You cannot top Donlevy as a villain, and the forgotten Mischa Auer is a scream as the sheriff's brother-in-law, one Boris Callahan. Smooth direction and supremely clever script round out this winning film. Note: this picture helped inspire "Blazing Saddles".Movie Review: Classic Jimmy Stewart
Summary: 5 Stars
Destry Rides Again DVD
Destry Rides Again is a classic Jimmy Stewart movie. Jimmy Stewart happens to be one of my favorite cowboy stars. In this movie Stewart plays a deputy who does not believe in guns.
Recommended for fans of the Western Movie.
