Frenchie – Western Movie – starring – Joel McCrea and Shelly Winters

Frenchie Fontaine sells her successful business in New Orleans to come West. Her reason? Find the men who killed her father, Frank Dawson. But she only knows one of the two who did and she’s determined to find out the other. Joel McCrea and Shelly Winters star in what some consider a re-make of the Jimmy Stewart movie Destry Rides Again. It’s an exact remake but it does have plenty of common elements. This is a solid, entertaining Western! Also with Paul Kelly, Elsa Lanchester, John Russell, George Cleveland and Marie Windsor.
