Smart city gals (Hepburn, Sullavan, Jean Arthur, Rosalind Russell, Dietrich, Ginger Rogers, nearly the whole fabulous constellation of '30s star actresses) would toy with this bumpkin, only to find he had magically restored their emotional virginity. In his private life--which he kept private--Stewart was a responsible grownup, a bachelor until 1949, when he married Gloria McLean.

Luke is an irresistible figure, the country bumpkin with just the right tough of idealism and starstruck awe to endear him to any audience. He saves the day of course, hitting the heavily protected weak link in the planet-fortress of the Empire that reduces the forces of evil to a pyrotechnic starburst signaling...
