Publisher's Synopsis

Double bill of classics starring Marlene Dietrich; In 'Destry Rides Again' (1966) the son of a famous lawman, young Tom Destry (James Stewart) is considered something of a joke when he takes up the position of deputy in the lawless town of Bottle Neck. Refusing to carry a gun, and preferring milk to alcohol, hardly makes him a match for gunslinging saloon owner Kent (Brian Donlevy), the real power behind the town. However, with the aid of drunken sheriff 'Wash' Dimmsdale (Charles Winninger), the soft-spoken Destry sets about cleaning up Bottle Neck in his own inimitable manner, winning the admiration of Kent's blowsy, bar-room singer girlfriend, Frenchy (Marlene Dietrich), along the way. 'A Foreign Affair' (1948) is set in postwar occupied Berlin and tells the story of Erica (Marlene Detrich) a café singer with a Nazi past. She seduces Captain John Pringle (John Lund) in the hope he can help her find her former Nazi lover. A U.S. Congresswoman played by Jean Arthur, is investigating GI conduct in the city and discovers Erica's questionable past.
