The Best Western Movies Ever Made
Destry rides again (1939)
The combination of Jimmy Stewart playing lawman Tom Destry and Marlene Dietrich as Frenchy the bawdy singer is enough to bring so many memorable scenes in Destry Rides Again. The movie is quite short, but that’s because many lines were cut due to censorship at the time.
Movie Plot: Deputy sheriff Destry tames the town of Bottle Neck, including saloon singer Frenchy.
