Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969)

Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969), directed by Burt Kennedy.

A light and silly western comedy with the always personable James Garner. Many familiar faces, including Bruce Dern and Jack Elam. They do a bunch of recognizable scenes from other films such as Winchester '73 and My Darling Clementine (1946). Walter Brennan repeats his Old Man Clanton character from the latter film 23 years later. Same hat?

It was probably wackier at the time than now. Some of the musical bits are just terrible, like children's circus clown themes. It hurts the humor, which doesn't need the assist.

Waterhole #3 (1967) is still my favorite western comedy.
