Support Your Local Sheriff
1969, 89 minutes, Rated G
Armed with a wry sense of humour and a straight-shooting sidearm, Hames Garner fights for peace and justice - and fun in this outrageous, irreverent and "very funny" farce from the acclaimed director of The War Wagon.
On his way to Australia, frontier opportunist Jason McCullough (Garner) stumbles into a small gold-rush town and decides to earn a little extra pocket money by accepting a temporary assignment as the town Sheriff. Happily applying himself to his new position, McCullough manages to turn the town derelict into his deputy, outsmart the dreaded Danby clan and fend off the advances of the mayor's daughter - all without breaking a sweat or dirtying his shiny black boots!
In the tradition of films like Maverick and Cat Ballou and featuring top-notch performances from co-stars Joan Hackett, Walter BRennan, Harry Morgan and Jack Elam, Support Your Local Sheriff is "a classic comedy / western gem" that's "sheer entertainemtn from start to finish!".
