Jack was great as James Garner's sidekick in "Support Your Local Gunfighter" and "Support Your Local Sheriff". Two completely different movies directed and written by the same people, with pretty much the same exact cast in both of them. Classic comedy Westerns, not quite in the same class as "Blazing Saddles", but great anyway.
OK, I'm crying now...but they are tears of laughter!
This is even better than the original Kansas City Confidential.
Besides the hard talkin' and hard hittin' tough guy acting, the best part of the film is watching a young jack Elam chain smoke AND get bitch slapped all over the place.
You get a 5 star/ AWESOME rating from me. I'm saving this.
JACK ELAM, was wären viele meiner geliebten Western/Gangsterfilme ohne ihn! Wann immer ich seine Visage auf dem Bildschirm erblicke, bleibe ich hängen. Einer der grössten Film-Bösewichter aller Zeiten und in meiner persönlichen Hitliste zusammen mit Lee Van Cleef und Dan Duryea ganz oben!!!
