This page used to have the wonderful western movie Support Your Local Sheriff starring James Garner
James Garner is a nothing short of a delight in this western spoof. The film takes place in the small western town of Calender, a town that experiences a gold rush when gold is discovered in an open grave by Prudy Perkins (Joan Hackett). As gold prospectors flood in and out of town, the Danby clan, anxious to take advantage of the situation dispatch three sheriffs and they control the town. Into this situation, on his way to Australia, rides Jason McCullough (Garner). McCullough is an easy-going sort who just happens to be a crack shot. The town rapidly makes him sheriff. His first line of business is to break up a fight and to arrest Joe Danby (Bruce Dern) for murder.

Sunset in the West – Roy Rogers and Trigger
A decent enough film, but I am not a fan of these modern day mixed up westerns
Telephones, electric hair clippers, ceiling fans.hot dog sellers and trucks in he old west, nah.
and I am not sure that people walked around wearing six shooters in the 1940s
Just GREAT! I’ve always been a fan of Roy Rogers and Trigger. Its always a pleasure watching his movies as well as his TV episodes. Keep up the good work, just love westerns!
A great spoof of typical westerns! I really think Jack Elam is better as a comedian than a villain.
