Like I said, Destry does it right. The look in Stewart's eyes could melt through plate steel in that scene. And then the bittersweet little coda with the kids singing... I tear myself up just thinking about it.
And thinking of Marlene Dieterich as the Spike character really does give you an interesting spin on that film.
