Radio review – Lux – “Destry Rides Again” (1945) ***

James Stewart is again perfect as Destry, Hollywood’s equivalent of a pacifist, i.e. one who picks up his guns in the last act. Joan Blondell steps in for Marlene Dietrich, and although Blondell is as always brassy fun, she’s just no Dietrich. Even without her, his remains a fun story, well done.
