Support Your Local Gunfighter is a 1971 comic western film starring James Garner and Suzanne Pleshette. Supporting players include Harry Morgan, Jack Elam, John Dehner, Kathleen Freeman, Joan Blondell, Marie Windsor, Dub Taylor and Chuck Connors. The movie was directed by Burt Kennedy and written by James Edward Grant.
The film shares many cast and crew members and plot elements with the earlier Support Your Local Sheriff!, but is not a sequel.
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! (1969)_(qv) and the humor is similar. Typical: "You hit him from behind!" Garner: "Just as hard as I could!" Written by John Vogel
