Boxcars711 Weekend Matinee - The Lux Radio Theater "Destiny Rides Again" (11-05-45)

Destry Rides Again - This is a comedy and a drama from a 1939 western film directed by George Marshall adapted for radio by Lux Radio Theater airing November 5, 1945 starring Jimmy Stewart and Joan Blondell. It is about how a corrupt and violent town can be cleaned up without relying entirely on physical force. Tom Destry, son of a legendary frontier peacekeeper, doesn't believe in gunplay. Thus he becomes the object of widespread ridicule when he rides into the wide-open town of Bottleneck. A good one!
