Originally released as a motion picture in 1939.
Special features: interview with critic Imogen Sara Smith; interview with David Dewey, author of James Stewart: a biography; video essay featuring excerpts from a 1973 oral-history interview with director George Marshall, conducted by the American Film Institute; Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1945, featuring actors James Stewart and Joan Blondel; an essay by critic Farran Smith Nehme.
Marlene Dietrich, James Stewart, Mischa Auer, Charles Winninger, Brian Donlevy.
As the brawling, rough-and-tumble saloon singer Frenchy, Dietrich shed her exotic love-goddess image and launched a glorious career comeback, while Stewart cemented his amiable everyman persona with a charming turn as a gun-abhorring deputy sheriff who uses his wits to bring law and order to the frontier town of Bottleneck. A sparkling script, a supporting cast of virtuoso character actors, and rollicking musical numbers come together to create an irresistible marvel of studio-era artistry.
DVD, full screen (1.35:1); monaural.
