Love your description of the big scene between Destry and Frenchy (the best scene in the movie?). I just realized that Marlene plays a character named Frenchy here and is loved by a character called Frenchy in RANCHO NOTORIOUS. It's not like Frenchy is a common name either!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-5140048183887268242015-04-30T17:27:33.091-07:002015-04-30T17:27:33.091-07:00I love the idea of this powerful woman playing suc...I love the idea of this powerful woman playing such a strong role--one of the reasons I have finally warmed to westerns: so many interesting female parts.

Stewart's presence in a western at this point in his career is a bit startling (who knew of things to come?), which makes it all the more engaging. I am also not a big Dietrich fan, but here I can more take her than leave her. And thanks for some good info on Mr. Marshall.
