Summary: Support your Local Sheriff
Review: This is one of James Garners finest movies . It is very funny and I still to this day love watching it over and over again .

Summary: A classic Western spoof
Review: This is the sequel to the outrageously funny Support Your Local Sheriff. In this film, James Garner plays the con-man Latigo Smith, a man with a passion for foolish bets at the Roulette table and who has just ditched his boisterous fiancee. As far as Smith knows, his biggest problem is getting the tattoo of her name off his chest, but things quickly become more complicated for him when he loses all his money and decides to help a local cowhand (Jack Elam) impersonate a famous gunfighter. Hilarity ensues as the scheme is found out and Smith has to concoct plan after plan to cover himself.
Many members of the comedy troupe from Support Your Local Sheriff are in this movie. Besides Garner and Elam, the very funny Harry Morgan stars, again, as a mining tycoon. Suzanne Pleshette is the love interest this time, and stars as Patience, a half-crazy tomboy whose name is ill-deserved and who is a lousy aim with a gun (fortunately for Smith). This movie never quite reaches the comic peak of the prequel, mostly because the former movie touched on so many of the contemporary Hollywood cliches and seemed a fitting parody of the sheriff common in most of those films. Still, this is a funny movie, a fitting sequel. Watch them both--you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Very good Comedy
Review: This movie is not quite as good as Support Your Local Sheriff, but it is so close that you can't mark it down here. It's a very funny movie.

Summary: Support Your Local Garner
Review: Well now, you know James Garner is the go to man. He scores big with most all of his movies because he does his homework. In fact he's so good that over the years he's been taken for Garner... I mean granted.Where are the Oscars he sorely deserves? That's right, they usually haven't given the gold to light comedy pros, and they're not about to switch horses in midstream now. But that doesn't stop us from enjoying the fine Support duo of Sheriff and Gunfighter. (BTW, in Gunfighter co-star Suzanne Pleshette is super hot looking, as always.) And let's not forget mini-classics like Murphy's Romance, and the hoped for DVD sets of his TV series' Nichols and Maverick. We also shouldn't leave out his non-western tinged work like The Thrill Of It All, Boy's Night Out , Barbarians At The Gate, Twilight and The Rockford Files TV series. Yessir, ol' Jimmy done all us viewers real proud. Not bad for a Southern California boy who started out modelling Janzen swim trunks, that's a for sure.
