Black & White; Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English DESTRY RIDES AGAIN will forever be remembered for Marlene Dietrich's performance as Frenchy, a crooked saloon waitress with a heart of gold. Her rendition of "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have" is one of the highlights of her career. But DESTRY RIDES AGAIN has much more to offer than just Dietrich's performance. This hilarious satire carries Jimmy Stewart in the lead as Tom Destry, a supposedly tough law enforcement man who doesn't like guns. Stewart's comic touches are brilliant as he eagerly gives out educational anecdotes anytime an opportunity affords itself. The plot concerns the efforts of a saloon owner and a corrupt Mayor to rob the local cowpokes blind. Frenchy's on the payroll of the bad guys, but when sparks fly between her and Destry, her loyalty becomes a deciding factor in whether it's Destry or the bad guys who will ride off into the sunset. DESTRY RIDES AGAIN was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1996.
There is a 1932 DESTRY RIDES AGAIN starring Tom Mix. In 1950 another version of the story was made, entitled FRENCHIE. It was directed by Louis King and starred Joel McCrea and Shelley Winters. In 1954 yet another version came out, entitled DESTRY. George Marshall once again directed, and Audie Murphy and Mari Blanchard starred.
Marlene Dietrich has one of her most famous moments in this movie singing "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have."
Casting of the lead roles was unusual for the time. Stewart had never played a Western, and Dietrich had previously played the high society gal. Her rough and tumble appearance in DESTRY RIDES AGAIN revitalized her career.

$9.69 In another of his classic Westerns, John Ford again reflects upon the advance of civilization on the receding frontier, recounting the events leading up to and including the legendary gunfight at the O.K. Corral. As they drive their cattle toward California, Wyatt Earp (Henry Fonda) and his brothers, Morgan (Ward Bond), Virgil (Tim Holt), and young James (Don Garner), stop outside Tombstone, Arizona, where they refuse an offer for their stock made by Old Man Clanton (Walter Brennan) and his son, Ike (Grant Withers). The three older brothers ride into town, and, after Wyatt subdues a drunk, return to the wagons to find James dead and their cattle stolen. With little doubt about who the perpetrators are, Wyatt decides to accept the offer to be marshal of Tombstone that he had just recently refused. Despite Wyatt's tense first encounter with melancholy gambler and gunslinger Doc Holliday (Victor Mature), a wary, tacit friendship grows between the two men, which is soon complicated by the arrival of Doc's former love, the demure Clementine Carter (Cathy Downs). Although ostensibly focused on the famed gunfight, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE's more concerned--like many of Ford's films--with the creation of a community, the rule of law, and the civilizing influence of women on the wild and woolly West. When the showdown finally comes, it's without blood lust, as the Earp brothers conduct themselves with the ritual solemnity of samurai warriors. Given Samuel Engel's terse, elliptical screenplay, Fonda gives a subtle, brilliantly understated performance ...

Destry Rides Again review
$22.09 Told with much compassion, two stories from Nobel Prize-winning writer Luigi Pirandello are brought to the screen from Italian masters the Taviani Brothers (PADRE PADRONE). In the first, an aging baritone singer in the opera is forced to give up his profession due to heart trouble. As he attempts to give up his dreams, his wife notices a strange phenomenon that literally keeps her awake at nights. Her husband, despite his personal sadness, is laughing uproariously in his sleep. The retiring singer tries to remember what tickles him so during his slumber and in turn analyzes what makes him laugh and what makes him live. The second story compares two kidnappings in Sicily that took place a century apart.
Felice can't remember his dreams, but they must be funny because his big belly laughts keep his wife awake. A he tries to recover his dreams, both his literal ...

| | Richard Pryor 4 Movie Collection DVD (1976) Widescreen; Digipak
Destry Rides Again video
$15.29 WHICH WAY IS UP?: A seriocomic tale of love, seduction, and betrayal in the strife-torn farm country of central California. Richard Pryor plays several roles here, most significantly a migrant worker who works his way up the ranks in the agricultural company controlling one of the farms.
BREWSTER'S MILLIONS: Director Walter Hill tries his hand at this adaptation of the often-filmed novel by George Barr McCutcheon. Richard Pryor stars as Brewster, a penniless struggling pitcher for a minor league baseball team. His luck changes when he is informed that a wealthy uncle has died, leaving him a vast fortune under one condition: in order to inherit the full amount, he must first spend 30 million dollars in 30 days. The caveat: he may not give it away, spend it frivolously, or tell anyone about the arrangement, and at the end of the 30 days, no tangible assets may remain. Richard Pryor and John Candy both turn in excellent comic performances as two bush-league baseball players who are suddenly thrust into the world of the wealthy--helping make BREWSTER'S MILLIONS a winner.
CAR WASH: Director Michael Schultz follows up his critically acclaimed and commercially successful COOLEY HIGH with this hilarious day-in-the-life tale set in modern-day Los Angeles. At Sully Boyar's car wash, a motley crew of young city-dwellers "work their fingers to the bone" waiting on the eccentric and sometimes haughty clientele. Throughout the day, the young men find time to indulge in personal pursuits: one fellow fantasizes about the pretty waitress working at a local restaurant, a militant preaches politics, and more disgruntled workers find a way to justify their laziness. As the day wears on, the many levels of oppression that control each individual's life gradually become apparent. Luckily, Schultz and screenwriter Joel Schumacher don't dwell on the potentially depressing aspects of their subject matter; proving that sometimes laughter is the best medicine, they stuff their film with enough verbal, visual, and situational humor to keep the audience laughing throughout. This can also be attributed to the performances by the all-star ensemble of performers, including Franklin Ajaye, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Duke, and Garrett Morris. Cementing the deal is the film's soundtrack, which features the soulful music of diva Rose Royce.
BUSTIN' LOOSE: Foulmouthed Joe (Richard Pryor) breaks his parole, but is given a chance to prove his worth by a schoolteacher (Cicely Tyson). She hires him to drive a bus full of Special School kids from Philadelphia. Joe is a bit unnerved by their various ...
