WESTERNS: Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969)

from Have a Good Movie Hosted by Macintosh & Maud

We’ve been on a run of serious films, so it was time to mix in a Western comedy. At least, that’s what this movie is supposed to be, but this is a comedy without a whole lot of jokes. We have some diverging opinions on this one, mostly coming down to the script, because this should be a much better movie than it is. But you can bet we both agree that James Garner is one of the most charming cutie-pies ever. Make sure to order the bars for the jail while we watch Support Your Local Sheriff! on Have a Good Movie!
