Frenchie (1950)

I wasn't expecting this movie to be any good, but not having seen it previously, I thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt.  Well, I was right.  It's a not very successful riff on "Destry Rides Again" with a young but still chubby and rather blowsy Shelley Winters in the Marlene Dietrich role, but without her charm or songs.  She has come to avenge her father's death some years early and takes over the local saloon.  The pacifist sheriff (not called Destry) is played by Joel McCrea; he's no Jimmy Stewart granted, but I do think he is a remarkably under-rated actor and he has a certain appeal in this role.  Elsa Lanchester, one of filmdom's great eccentrics, has a pretty nothing part as Winters' sidekick.
