“That’s Right, You’re Wrong” original trailer

TCM has no trailer or clips on “Destry Rides Again.” But the one they have on “That’s Right, Your’re Wrong” is a hoot.

I LOVE Destry Rides Again. Course I’m a huge Jimmy Stewart fan, so that’s easy.

I love both of these movies!

I have never seen “Destry.” I should get it by this weekend from Netflix and after reading the review I am looking forward to it. I will check back afterwards.

I watched “Destry” Saturday night and enjoyed it. My only regret is that I missed the line about “gold in them hills” referred to in the review. (I read it as “ear rings” not “earnings.” So I didn’t pay attention when the gold coins went into the cleavage.) From what Nugent writes Stewart already had the nice-guy, easy going image he would hold all his life. I wasn’t sure he had the reputation during his prewar career.
