Viewing Notes
After viewing SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF I was happy to find the “sequel” on Prime (it’s not a sequel but after the success of the first film Garner wanted to do another story in the same vein of comedy western and use a lot of the same cast as different characters). This story is another very loose spin on Yojimbo.
Coincidentally both films have a reference to Chicago. In the first movie Garner tells Elam about reading books on Australia in the Chicago library. In this movie the hotel manager (Kathleen Freeman) tells Garner that this hotel is as good as the Palmer House in Chicago. (It’s not, lol)
I’d like to know which train it is at the end of the movie bc that would be a fun trip through the mountains.
