Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969)
This tongue-in-cheek western is only for the very silly at heart. If you’re just looking for a good ol’ Randolph Scott type of western, you’ll probably end up turning this off. It’s about a lawless western town that gets a new, different type of sheriff (James Garner) who’s just in it for the money. But he wants to stay alive, so he puts the bad guys away and lets everyone know who the real boss is.
Harry Morgan is the corrupt mayor, Walter Brennan is, well, Walter Brennan, and Joan Hackett is Harry’s extremely awkward and socially unkempt daughter. Naturally, she’s Jimmy’s love interest, but everything she says and does is just ridiculous. Jack Elam is pretty funny, as Jimmy’s sidekick, whose previous job was shoveling horse manure, as is Bruce Dern, the bad guy. He shoots someone in a saloon at the start of the movie, and instead of looking the other way, Jimmy insists on arresting him and putting him in jail. The jail doesn’t have any bars on it, but with a splatter of red paint and a cryptic threat, Jimmy manages to convince Bruce to stay inside the jail. Bruce is Walter’s son, and when he whines to his dad about being locked up, it’s amusing.
If you love James Garner in his western garb, and you like to laugh about inept criminals, try this one out. You can fast-forward through Joan’s scenes if they seem too silly.
