Storyline

James Garner plays a ladies' man who ends up on the run from a conquest. He has an embarrassing problem that requires a doctor, but that is not immediately disclosed. He and a town barsweep form a plot to impersonate a well known gunfighter so that Garner can pay off his debts and skip town before the soon to come arrival of the real gunfighter. The cast is almost identical to Support Your Local Sheriff! and the humor is similar. Typical: "You hit him from behind!" Garner: "Just as hard as I could!"

Goofs

When it first shows the locomotive bringing the "real" Swifty Morgan to town it has "577" on the front and a red cattle guard. Later when the train pulls into the depot the engine now has "119" on the front and a black cattle guard. It's a completely different locomotive. See more »

Wonderfully Humorous
13 May 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A con artist arrives in a mining town controlled by two competing companies. Both companies think he is a famous gunfighter and try to hire him to drive the other out of town.

Another reviewer pointed out that even after all this time (42 years as I write this) the film is still funny and fresh. I have to agree with them completely. I never saw the film before now and I thought much of it was clever, original and just witty enough to be a solid film.

I have not seen much of James Garner's work, and now I think perhaps I should. Between this and "Maverick", he seems to be the unsung hero of the west. (Or at least under-sung, with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood holding the "sung" category down by themselves.)
