German label Koch Media has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director George Marshall's
Destry Rides Again a.k.a
Der große Bluff (1939), starring Marlene Dietrich, James Stewart, Mischa Auer, Brian Donlevy, and Charles Winninger. The release will be available for purchase in Germany on March 20th.
The son of a famous lawman, young Tom Destry (Stewart) is considered something of a joke when he takes up the position of deputy in the lawless town of Bottle Neck. Destry refuses to carry a gun, and prefers a glass of milk to alcohol, which hardly makes him a match for gunslinging saloon owner Kent (Donlevy), the real power behind the town. However, with the aid of drunken sheriff 'Wash' Dimmsdale (Winninger), the soft-spoken Destry sets about cleaning up Bottle Neck in his own inimitable manner, winning the admiration of Kent's blowsy, bar-room singer girlfriend, Frenchy (Dietrich), along the way.
