James Stewart is an American national treasure who deserved much more recognition during his lifetime. He's one of the most intriguing actors in the sense that you simply enjoy watching him. When he's in a film, you believe it'll be good just because he's in it. And then it does indeed turn out to be a good film. He was suited for westerns like everything else, and he turned this one into a great comedy that's as rugged as it is playful and feminine. Marlene plays second fiddle here.

A lot happened in Marlene Dietrich's life between 1937 and 1939. She became an American citizen, ended her association with Paramount, and enjoyed a very long vacation in Europe. She even got a tan while doing it. If she was to return to the imaginary top of Hollywood heaven, she was taking a big risk by starring in a western. But it’s not going to turn out bad if it’s a production with Marlene. After all, Universal had firm footing, and one of its assets was a young Jimmy Stewart. If the perfect rendition of "You've Got That Look" and "The Boys in the Backroom" became another beacon of support, Marlene had little choice but to rise to the top again in her new Shirley Temple-parodying hairstyle, proving to America that a western could never be more American without Europeans.
