Why so much hype?

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Destry is a great western that came out in 1939, one of the best years in film history. It's a great western drama with a lot of comedy elements about a gunless deputy who comes in to clean up the town of Bottleneck.James Stewart was an interesting choice for the lead as young Destry, the son of a lawman who's given up his guns and wants to clean up the town peacefully. (You'll have to watch the movie to see how that works out).The supporting cast is great with a lot of comedic characters and classic old west bad guys. I fell hard for Marlene Dietrich when I first saw this movie as a kid. If you're a fan of classic westerns, this one should be in your top ten.

Kent, the unscrupulous boss of Bottleneck has Sheriff Keogh killed when he asks one too many questions about a rigged poker game that gives Kent a stranglehold over the local cattle rangers. The mayor, who is in cahoots with Kent appoints the town drunk, Washington Dimsdale, as the new sheriff assuming that he'll be easy to control.The film was James Stewart's first western (he would not return to the genre until 1950, with "Broken Arrow" and "Winchester 73"), and was also notable for a ferocious cat-fight between Marlene Dietrich and Una Merkel, which apparently caused a mild censorship problem at the time of release. Stewart is strong here, and while good in any genre, he really seems at home in westerns.According to writer/director Peter Bogdanovich, Marlene Dietrich told him during an aircraft flight that she and James Stewart had an affair during shooting and that she became pregnant and had the baby surreptitiously aborted without telling Stewart. (This has nothing to do with the film itself, but what a juicy tidbit.) This is a great film in general, even if it has not aged as well as it maybe could have. I could not help but wonder while watching it if it was the inspirational for the "Andy Griffith Show" episode about the sheriff without a gun...

Destry Rides again is a cool western comedy about a town called Bottleneck having no place for law and order. Tom Destry, son of town's heroic ex-sheriff comes into Bottleneck to become new deputy. Destry's naivety and non-violence makes him joke of the town not aware of his intelligence. It is about how young Destry turns the whole town upside down. It has a wonderful cast featuring young James Stewart in a role which always plays consummately. Marlene Dietrich is also one of the chief attraction of the film, playing a bold and recklessly stunning bar singer. Movie delivers some great laughs and also maintains the seriousness of the story. Overall, it's a solid entertainer. Highly recommended for all Jimmy Stewart fans.

The age of the movie made me at first think that it would be boring. However, it went over all my expectations. The acting is solid, especially thanks to Stewart on that. The cast for the characters couldn't have been any better. Maybe part of the charm of the movie is in that the characters are a bit stereotypical. We have the charming, strong willed and pretty woman, the typical western hero and the evil guy and his dim henchmen. One would think you've seen all this kind of setting has to offer once you have seen one movie with the said setting, but here somehow everything clicks together perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle and you end up rooting for the hero and the heroine who makes the life of the hero difficult. The whole process is somehow magical, but at the same time oddly natural and familiar. Time has not eroded this film at all.The story is fun, while at times predictable, but the smoothness of the ride makes you really enjoy it. The sets are nice and well done and serve this kind of movie and its events well. The music was good. Some old movies and the low quality of music in them (I don't like the "grain" of old records) makes me annoyed, but here the musical score flowed smoothly and supported the visual events.
