    James Garner is a nothing short of a delight in this western spoof that stands western clichés on their ears. The film takes place in the small western town of Calender, a town that experiences a gold rush when gold is discovered in an open grave by Prudy Perkins (Joan Hackett). As gold prospectors flood in and out of town, the Danby clan, anxious to take advantage of the situation (since their ranch blocks the main road out of town) levies a 20% tribute on every gold shipment that passes through. Three sheriffs have been dispatched by the Danbys, and they control the town. Into this situation, on his way to Australia, rides Jason McCullough (Garner). McCullough is an easy-going sort who just happens to be a crack shot. The town rapidly makes him sheriff. His first line of business is to break up a fight and to arrest Joe Danby (Bruce Dern) for murder. As McCullouch settles down in the Perkins boarding house, Pa Danby (Walter Brennan) plots to spring his son from jail. But when all his mechanizations fail to gain Joe's release, Pa Danby gathers together all the Danbys in the surrounding countryside to head into Calender to get rid of McCullough.

    August 27, 2009: This is a Very funny movie. James Garner is the coolest cowboy to ever ride into down. Walter Brennan does a comedic take on his Old man Clanton character from "My Darling Clementine" (here called the Danby clan) that should not be missed. Jack Elam plays against his "bad guy" typecasting and does a very funny deputy to Garner's Sheriff. Joan Hackett (who is still missed very much) does a wonderful job as the love interest. And the rest of the cast is filled with great character actors from the 1960's, including M.A.S.H.'s own Harry Morgan (obviously Years before that role). And don't forget the girls at Madam Orr's House. If you have not seen this one, do yourself a favor and pick it up. This is much better than its sequal "Support your local Gunfighter" (which is an ok movie) so don't confuse the two.

    January 15, 2004: If you are looking for a movie that will provide some lighthearted entertainment, this is it. James Gardner plays a sheriff who will remind you of Bret Maverick (an earlier Gardner TV character) By pure chance, Gardner becomes the sheriff of a wide-open gold-rush town. Bruce Dern is a dim- witted villian, with Walter Brenan as his father. Jack Elam (a former stable-cleaner town- character) plays the reluctant deputy. The plot is pretty standard: a sheriff is hired to clean up the town, encounters and overcomes difficulties along the way, marries the richest and weirdest girl in town, and lives happily ever after. However, the characters are varied and entertaining; and the situations will keep you laughing. This is movie you can enjoy with your children without any worries about inappropriate language, violence, or sex.
