You cannot watch just one.

*** Support your local Sheriff *** 60 for whom and 40 for who? Throughout 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 gags, puns, and jokes (some take time to think about). I will not go into detail in case 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 cannot 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 a DVD, so it will last as long as the technology. *** Support Your Local Gunfighter *** "Have you seen Elmer?" Latigo Smith (James Garner) barely escapes marital bliss with Goldie to find himself in a situation without money but with an excellent opportunity. The town he has escaped to (Purgatory) has rival mining companies digging for the motherload. Latigo teams up with Jug May (Jack Elam), who poses as Swifty Morgan, a hired gun. Latigo is his agent and handles all the money. The fun in this movie is the interaction of the characters, much more than the story. One thing that struck me as funny is the scene where Col. Ames is stretching over in his stiff boots to see if Taylor Barton (Harry Morgan) is hiding under his sister's bed. Another is when Jug sees Latigo asking a woman for money, he says that he was brought up not to ask women for money. Latigo suggests that it is because a woman raised him. Who will get the load and who will get the shaft? Will the real Swifty show up? What about Goldie?
