Director Burt Kennedy’s Western parody, Support Your Local Sheriff (1969), stars the always-fun James Garner (The Great Escape) as a sheriff who pops up out of nowhere to shape up a rowdy frontier town (villainized by The Driver‘s Bruce Dern, of course), aided and abetted by a scruffy local (Jack Elam).

Distaff humor is provided by Joan Hackett (Sheriff) and Suzanne Pleshette (Gunfighter), and veteran character actors are here in abundance, including Harry Morgan (Inherit the Wind), Walter Brennan (Red River), Marie Windsor (The Killing), and Joan Blondell (The Cincinnati Kid).

Special features on Twilight Time’s Blu-ray double-feature include the following:
-Isolated Score Tracks
