Details

• Release Year: 1971
• Genre: Comedy, Romance, Western
• Plot: The Wild West just got wilder...and a whole lot wackier! James Garner (Support Your Local Sheriff) is back in the saddle again in Support Your Local Gunfighter, a powder keg of laughs co-starring Suzanne Pleshette, Jack Elam, Harry Morgan, Joan Blondell, Marie Windsor, Henry Jones, Dub Taylor and Chuck Connors. Hustling gigolo Latigo Smith (Garner) arrives in a mining town for an operation, but while in town he overhears that the local mining baron Taylor Barton (Morgan) is looking to hire the notorious gunman, Swifty Morgan to wipe out his competition. Seizing the opportunity for an easy con, Smith passes off a reprobate cowhand, Jug (Elam) as the dreaded Swifty...with bankroll in-hand; he plans to head for the hills at first opportunity. Complicating matters are Barton's suspicious pistol-packin' daughter, Patience (Pleshette) and the arrival of the real Swifty Morgan (Connors). Now, can Smith come up with a scheme to save Jug's hide, stop the mining feud and win over Patience or will he end up blowing up the entire town! Directed by western legend Burt Kennedy (The Train Robbers).
