1939 film by George Marshall

The image of the sheriff is deeply embedded in American culture – from pacifist Jimmy Stewart in Destry Rides Again and gun averse Roy Scheider in Jaws to those more comfortable wielding power like Gene Hackman in Unforgiven, Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men, and Gary Cooper in High Noon. In the United States, more than 3,000 sheriffs occupy a unique position in the political and legal systems. Sheriffs oversee more than a third of law enforcement employees and control almost all local jails. They have the power to both set and administer policies, and sheriffs can imprison, harm, and even kill members of their communities. Although sheriffs are elected by voters, these elections are usually noncompetitive and low-visibility. Sheriffs enjoy a degree of autonomy not seen by other political officeholders. In The Power of the Badge: Sheriffs and Inequality in the United States (U Chicago Press, 2024), Emily M. Farris and Mirya R. Holman draw on two original surveys of sheriffs taken nearly a decade apart, as well as election data, case studies, and administrative data to argue that the autonomy and authority granted to sheriffs in the United States create an environment where sheriffs rarely change; elections seldom create meaningful accountability; employees, budgets, and jails can be used for political gains; marginalized populations can be punished; and reforms fail. Drs. Farris and Holman track the increasingly close linkages between sheriffs and right-wing radical groups and demonstrate how sheriffs holding negative views of marginalized groups leads to unequal policing and discriminatory policies that fail to protect marginalized groups – particularly in the areas of intimate partner violence, racial profiling in traffic enforcement, and immigration enforcement. If the sheriff does not like your group, he structures hiring, training, and policy in his office to punish you. Farris and Holman also interrogate the ways in which sheriffs extract resources to maintain and profit from the carceral state. The book contributes to scholarship on local politics, American political development, federalism, political behavior, sociology, criminal justice, public administration and policy, and political extremism. Dr. Emily M. Farris is an associate professor in Political Science and core faculty in Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies at Texas Christian University. Her research focuses on urban and racial and ethnic politics. Dr. Mirya R. Holman is an associate professor at the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston. She is an expert on gender and politics, urban politics, and political behavior and has published widely in these areas. Both Emily and Mirya have been cited widely in outlets like the New York Times, The Atlantic, and other important public facing venues. Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul and Erin review two classic Western comedies: Mel Brooks' gleefully offensive 1974 spoof BLAZING SADDLES, and the underrated 1939 James Stewart/Marlene Dietrich vehicle DESTRY RIDES AGAIN.
With this podcast, Couch And Coffee Table wrap up their Westerns month. This podcast presents Lux Radio Theatre's adaptation of the 1939 film Destry Rides Again starring Jimmy Stewart reprising his role from the film. Lux Radio Theatre's adaptation of Destry Rides Again starring Jimmy Stewart aired on November 5, 1945. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-perry6/support
Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! It seems a Westerns series has started on the main show as Morgan and Jeannine have decided to take the next few weeks to celebrate this often-times misunderstood and undervalued genre. We had a rollicking romp last week with Jimmy Stewart's first Western 'Destry Rides Again' and he's back this week too with the final of his five Westerns he made with director Anthony Mann as Morgan and Jeannine talk THE MAN FROM LARAMIE (1955)! A deceptive and subtle movie, visually beautiful yet full of characters straining their true feelings. Tragedy, revenge, romance and a charming stubbornness from Jimmy Stewart make this one particularly special!

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! A chaotic, often comedic romp of a Western, but not without it's genuine emotional undertone on this week's main show as Morgan and Jeannine talk DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939) starring the inimitable Marlene Dietrich alongside Jimmy Stewart in his first foray into a genre he would become very comfortable in! Another example to show why 1939 was arguably the strongest year in Old Hollywood, it's a movie that comes at a very interesting time in both our leads' careers and see them shine playing off each other with Dietrich playing an evolved version of her past mysterious siren roles and Stewart being the perfect calming presence for the bar-brawling, connivingly corrupt town of Bottleneck, ran not so subtly from the background by the delightfully menacing Brian Donlevy!

To steal (and completely spoil) Mike's joke from the very end of this episode: we hope that you're ready to listen to three men discuss 3 Women. Because we're joined this week by Patrick O'Riley from the Vintage Video Podcast, who brings us Shelly Duvall and Sissy Spacek in Robert Altman's mind-bending, identity-shattering, dream of a film. Or film of a dream? This is, apparently, up for debate. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store. T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more! If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing George Marshall's Destry Rides Again (1939).

There was only one person in Hollywood who could pull off a top hat and tuxedo as good as Fred Astaire and that was Marlene Dietrich. Despite the fame of Marlene's black tie ensemble, the two movies we will be discussing in this episode will feature the legendary actress in much less formal outfits. The first film, Destry Rides Again (1939), is a Western with equal combination of slapstick and gun toting. Dietrich portrays a cabaret singer in a corrupt saloon in the Wild West where if you just lose your money you've done ok. Jimmy Stewart is also in this film doing a fantastic job as the new sheriff in town who spends more time whittling than shooting. The next film is Touch of Evil (1958), a film noir directed and starred in by Orson Welles as well as Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh. The film begins with what is perhaps the greatest single-take scene in history. Marlene Dietrich, portraying the long-term owner of a brothel frequented by Welles' character, only makes a relatively short appearance in this film. But those few minutes are all she needs to make a glamorous entrance and exit. Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. We apologise for any disruptions in audio caused by our needing to record remotely to comply with COVID conditions.
Cinco Paul (co-writer of the Despicable Me movies) welcomes special guest Julie Klausner (creator and star of Difficult People) back to the podcast! He makes her watch the 1939 classic comedy-western Destry Rides Again, and she makes him watch Quentin Tarantino's 1997 blaxploitation homage Jackie Brown. What did they think? Check it out on this latest episode of MAKE HIM WATCH IT!
In a year of many cinematic milestones, the comparably modest aspirations of the comedy Western Destry Rides Again still manage to stand the test of time to prove an enduring and vital classic of the Western genre. At the same time luminaries such as John Ford were revitalizing the genre with prestige films such as Stagecoach, director George Marshall and the genre-specializing producers at Universal sought to upend the genre in a notably different manner, flipping the script on typical melodrama plots with a distinct sense of raucous parody that would influence countless spoofs to come. Destry Rides Again remains the zenith of these satiric efforts, though, thanks to its ability to function as a straight Western drama at the same time it parodies its most ridiculous tropes. James Stewart's turn as the charming stalwart sheriff with an uncommon approach to justice sizzles with the enigmatic European allure of Marlene Dietrich in this chaotic Western watering hole, matched by a compelling supporting cast of colorful characters. The film is vibrant and engaging, with a very unique set of sensibilities that remains unmatched by anything to come of the genre ever since. An unforgettable and joyous romp with a litany of comic subversions make Destry Rides Again one of the true paragons of the early wave of Western classics.

Singing Guns was aired by Studio One on October 21, 1947 starring Myron McCormick and Gary Merrill. The story is dramatized from the novel Singing Guns by Max Brand, who you may remember created the Western character Destry, featured in several filmed versions of Destry Rides Again, and his character Dr. Kildare was adapted to motion pictures, radio, television, and comic books.Singing Guns is about a sheriff, Owen Caradac, who is saved from certain death by the legendary killer Rhiannon, and the two forge a bond that changes Rhiannon's life.This is a top notch story and the acting is outstanding in this one hour western drama.Studio One 471021 26 Singing Guns
Late in the run of his Broadway turn as Tevye in "Fiddler On The Roof", Alfred Molina discusses his role in that much-discussed production, recalls meeting his wife-to-be in the musical "Destry Rides Again" and his culture shock at being plucked from a small London theatre to appear in the film "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", and shares the challenge of his manic monologue in the Broadway debut of Yasmina Reza's "Art". Original air date - November 19, 2004.

Unknown to many, including me, Jimmy Stewart loved radio drama and appeared in almost as many radio broadcasts as he did movies and stage plays. His radio career spanned over seven decades, starting with Yellow Jack in 1934 and ending with his last performance in a Thanksgiving special, which aired on November 22, 1990. He was best known for his appearances in the Lux Radio Theatre, which first broadcast in 1937. Lux Radio Theatre, a CBS showcase, played to a weekly audience of over 36 million people. Hosted by Cecil B. DeMille, programs consisted of feature length films compressed into one-hour radio plays. Stewart starred in such classics as Destry Rides Again, It’s a Wonderful Life, Winchester ’73 and the Philadelphia Story, to name a few.
