James Garner is perfect in this Western comedy. This film was the very first project Garner picked for his production company, Cherokee Productions. The clever, humorous script was written by the eclectic screenwriter William Bowers (who wrote everything from the excellent noir THE WEB to the gritty Gregory Peck western THE GUNFIGHTER). Garner is joined by the wonderful Joan Hackett (who sadly died way too young from cancer at the age of 49). They are joined by a top notch supporting cast of Walter Brennan, Jack Elam, Kathleen Freeman, Jack Elam, HenryJones, Harry Morgan, etc. Highly recommended.
