James Garner leads charismatic cast including Walter Brennan, Jack Elam, and Bruce Dern in this light western comedy about a drifter committed to bringing law and order to a small gold rush town. Pleasant and memorably funny. A must for fans of Garner's Maverick television series, in which he plays much the same brains-over-brawn character. Followed by the unrelated variation Support Your Local Gunfighter, starring Garner and many of the same supporting actors.
