Well, nothing special here, so you might as well move on. This is a black & white Western centered around James Stewart, although he doesn't show up for a good portion of the beginning. Tom Destry Jr. (James Stewart) is a pacifist who is called in to be the deputy of a lawless town called Bottleneck when the Sheriff Keogh (Joe King) mysteriously goes on a permanent vacation and no one wants to talk about why. The crooked mayor of the town (Samuel S. Hinds) appoints the town drunkard, Washington Dimsdale (Charles Winninger), to be the next Sheriff. As Washington's first act, besides giving up the bottle (a noble decision), he calls for Tom Destry Jr. from the East to be his deputy, hoping to show the others who's boss. However, Destry arrives and makes a bad first impression on everyone; he doesn't even own a gun, much less want to use one! Becoming the town laughingstock, Washington and Destry decide to clean up the town without using guns after all. You'll see how they do it by seeing this movie yourself. Being an older movie, there are some politically incorrect situations, but whatever. The acting in this movie was fairly strong; I mostly liked the performance by Marlene Dietrich, playing the wicked showgirl Frenchy. She only was a unbearable when she was singing, which I found very deep-pitched and atrocious (but, I guess it was considered good back then...)! I found myself laughing frequently at the comic relief, Mischa Auer, playing the foreign (Russian, I believe?) cowboy Boris Callahan. So, in all, this movie should be rented unless you are a fan of these old Westerns.
