First saw this after my dad told me his dad loved this movie. Since my grandfather loved westerns, I gave it a go. Love this film so much I bought the DVD.
The war changed Jimmy stewart and with it the sort of characters he played. I know people who had seen many of his post war westerns who were disappointed when they saw Destry Rides Again because it wasn't like the post-war movies he did with Anthony Mann. Absurd comparison, but understandable if you look at his career as being all one seamless thread.

And it's yet another reminder of how good Stewart was.
Absolutely! Great movie.

That's a good point.
