Support Your Local Sheriff (1969)
Armed with a wry sense of humor and a straight-shooting sidearm, James Garner (Maverick, My Fellow Americans) fights for peace, justice and fun in this outrageous, irreverent and "very funny" (Los Angeles Times) farce co-starring Joan Hackett, Walter Brennan, Harry Morgan and Jack Elam. Support Your Local Sheriff is "sheer entertainment from start to finish" (Boxoffice)!
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 its sheriff. Happily applying himself to his new position, McCullough manages to turn the town derelict (Elam) into his deputy, outsmart the dreaded Danby clan (led by Brennan in a hilarious comic performance), and fend off the lusty advances of the mayor's daughter (Hackett) – all without breaking a sweat or dirtying his shiny black boots!
"Anyone who doesn't laugh himself goggle-eyed at the antics in Support Your Local Sheriff has got to have lockjaw!" The Hollywood Reporter

James Garner was born to play this role. If you loved him in his TV roles, then you will love him in this. Great backup cast and a storyline that isn't too hard to follow. Great fun night in!

This is some of James Garner's best work. It sends up the Western genre in a very witty way. The supporting cast is excellent, and the whole movie is a giggle.
