By Henry C. Parke. In 1939, James Stewart, an actor who would become a war hero, played a pacifist lawman in a Western comedy called Destry Rides Again. In 1954, Audie Murphy, a war hero who had become an actor, would play that same pacifist lawman in Destry. Both films are terrific fun and important highlights of each actor’s career.
