| Support Your Local Sherrif | | This is one of those old comedies that you can watch over and over again. My family has worn out a VHS copy, so I'm happy that a DVD release is coming up. This movie not only stars James Garner, but several other popular actors from the 60's & 70's. Walter Brennan, Harry Morgan, and Jack Elam to name a few. When Jason McColough, played by Garner, rides into town, he finds it right smack in the middle of a gold rush- and right smack in the middle of the problems that too much too soon can bring. There is fighting in the streets, gunmen shooting up the town, not to mention the revelry going on at Madam Orr's place. Needing work to finiance his gold prospecting Garner accepts the job of sherrif. The Mayor (Morgan) happens to have a pretty but accident prone daughter. Her misadventures while trying to attract the new sherrif's attention add great comedy to the plot. The sherrif's work is cut out for him when the Danby's led by pa Danby (Brennan) try to spring the youngest Danby from jail. He makes the town drunk (Played by Elam) his deputy and from there things just get funnier. When the dust settles everyone is alive and happy. Not the most complicated plot ever written, but light comedy is not supposed to be. Easy and fun to watch. |
| Support Your Local Sheriff - | | A Fine Light Comedy | | "Support Your Local Sheriff" is a good comedy western. That's not necessarily saying a lot. There are lots of comedy westerns around. This is one of the best of the bunch, though. It's not the cleverest or most original comedy you'll ever see, but it doesn't try to be. It succeeds admirably by delivering simple, unpretentious humor with a little romance thrown in on top. It stars James Garner, who gained fame playing Bret Maverick in the classic comedy western TV series, "Maverick". Garner plays Jason McCullough, a man on his way to Australia and just looking for a way to earn a little money along the way. As luck would have it, he rides into Calendar, a wild and woolly frontier town that finds itself in need of a new sheriff every few days. Joan Hackett plays the mayor's daughter, who's very "accident-prone", but knows an eligible bachelor when she sees one. McCullough coolly takes on the task of introducing law and order to the town, while keeping Hackett's klutzy character at bay at the same time. With veteran actors Walter Brennan, Harry Morgan, and Jack Elam providing great support, this flick keeps the laughs coming in a steady stream from start to finish. It's good fun for audiences of all ages. Recommended. |
| - Support Your Local Sheriff |  | 60 for who and 40 for who? | | Down through time it is easy to get the "support your local" films mixed up. This is the first. This is an educational film teaching you everything from sharing to proper gun pointing etiquette. Everyone has his or her favorite part in this movie. It contains sight gages and puns and jokes (some take time to think about.) I will not go into detail incase you have not seen this as it is fun to watch the story unfold. However it is several overlapping stories tied together by Jason McCullough (James Garner) who has spent four years on his way to Australia and stops for a little gold prospecting. He needs a job to buy food while prospecting, as the position of sheriff is available. O.K. I can not help it. He is handed the badge with a dent from a bullet in it. James Garner: This must have saved his life. Harry Morgan: It would have, if it weren't for all those other bullets. This movie may not have all the DVD goodies you look for but it is DVD so it will last as long as the technology. |
