Support Your Local Gunfighter
Although SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GUNFIGHTER features the same director and many of the same cast members as SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF, the film isn't a sequel to the later movie. Instead, it's another delightful collaboration between director Burt Kennedy and leading man James Garner. This time around Garner plays Latigo Smith, a wandering gigolo con man who arrives in the town of Purgatory. When two competing mine owners mistake him for Swifty, a hired gunman, Latigo sees a chance to get his hands on some of their ill-gotten gains. He must contend with the beautiful pistol-packed Patience, and further trouble arises, however, when the real gunslinger comes to town. A light-hearted, bar-room brawl of a conniving comedy western.

Good old fashioned humour of the trigger finger smashing type makes this quaint film very dated but quite amusing in places.

It's funny with Cowboy films - either they work and are classics or they're lame. And any twist on the genre (e.g. 'Cowboys and Aliens'), let ...
