The movie might not be anywhere near as good as its reputation suggests, but as a straight-up cowboy flick with moments of light comic relief, it's a fairly fun picture.

Destry Rides Again (1939) is a popular, marvelous Western comedy spoof/farce from Universal Pictures.

The conceit of the seeming milksop who’s actually tougher than the hooligans was already a cliché when the movie was made, but Destry has a few twists to keep things interesting.

A close-to-brilliant comedy-Western ... until the end.
