Is there one in which he dies on screen? If so, that one. His characters die in MALAYSIA and in BANDOLERO. |

I should have remembered The Glenn Miller Story. Never heard of any of the others. I won't bother to hunt down any of them, though a short compilation of James Stewart death scenes might be watchable. The only movie in which I can tolerate him is The Naked Spur (1953) dir: Anthony Mann. |

Actually, Jimmy is one of those cynical and grumpy cusses that you like so much in all of the five Mann Westerns. |

I have never been disappointed in a Jimmy Stewart performance. I almost got to meet him in person … almost being the operative word  . Did get to see him on stage in Harvey which is one of my notorious forever films. If absolutely forced to choose just one …. Elwood P. Dowd would probably be the one … but ONLY if forced to choose.   |

Love them all. My favorite actor of all time followed by Heston and McQueen. If I had to pick a favorite it would be: Frank Towns  His dialogue with Dorfmann (Hardy Kruger) are just classic. |

Good call, Man-X -- it was said that 1950 audiences were shocked at that violent scene when Lin cleaned Waco Johnny's clock.
Is that our nice guy Jimmy?
Also earlier when Lin and Dutch Henry first spot each other in the Dodge City saloon and immediately reach for their guns -- forgetting that their six-shooters are hanging up in Wyatt Earp's office!
Another great scene from this classic and important Western.
