This movie was directed by Burt Kennedy, a man who directed a lot of westerns but this one wasn't as good as some of his other ones like The Rounders and The Good Guys And The Bad Guys. This is a pretty well known film that is well liked but i found it a bit overrated and i prefer Blazing Saddles to this movie. The movie has James Garner just drifting West towards Austrila but it's taken him several years and he hasn't gotten that far. Garner arrives in a town in which the three previous sheriff's have been killed or ran away and he decides he wants the job. Garner winds up hiring Jack Elam as deputy even though he doesn't it and the town is basically ruled by Walter Brennan and his three sons. You will be disappointed if you watch this movie expecting a masterpiece but it is a pretty good movie.
