  • The small town of Bottleneck is under the control of Kent (Brian Donlevy), a power-hungry boss who gets control over the local cattle ranchers by winning a rigged game of cards. When the local sheriff questions the legitimacy of the game, Kent has him killed and names the town drunk, Dimsdale (Charles Winninger), as sheriff. What Kent doesn't know is that Dimsdale knows legendary lawman Tom Destry, who in turns sends his daring son Tom Destry Jr. (James Stewart) to Bottleneck to save the day.

  • There is complete mayhem in the wicked town - raucous riders shoot their guns into the sky and gallop on horseback into the gambling bar through swinging doors.

  • Destry Rides Again (1939) is a popular and marvelous Western comedy spoof/farce from Universal Pictures. Director George Marshall parodies and satirizes the classic Western with its stereotypical elements - a lawless Western town with a saloon and a sheriff, with three saloon/musical numbers! The film's well-paced, brisk screenplay by Felix Jackson, Gertrude Purcell and Henry Myers was based on Jackson's original screen story, suggested by Max Brand's novel of the same name.

  • Donlevy is eigenaar van de saloon in het stadje Bottle Necks. Wanneer hij dreigt te worden gearresteerd wegens corruptie, laat hij de sheriff uit de weg ruimen en stelt aartsdronkaard Winninger aan als nieuwe wetsdienaar. Een misrekening, want de man zet zich ervoor in en laat zelfs de zoon van een oude vriend (Stewart) overkomen als deputy. Alhoewel hij niet in geweld gelooft, is deze laatste vastbesloten de moordenaar te vinden van de vroegere sheriff. Nog steeds genietbare westernsatire met een schitterende Stewart en een betoverende Dietrich als saloonzangeres en liefje van de 'bad guy'. Het razendsnelle scenario van Felix Jackson, Gertrude Purcell en Henry Meyers is gebaseerd op een roman van Max Brand, eerder verfilmd in 1932 met Tom Mix. Andere versies verschenen in 1950 als FRENCHIE en in 1954 als DESTRY, maar geen enkele ervan kan tippen aan deze uit 1939. Knappe fotografie van Hal Mohr.
