This western comedy suffers from a plethora of overly familiar character actors. You've got Harry Morgan in angry Colonel Potter mode, James Garner in blank faced Rockford mode, Suzanne Pleshette doing the crazy southern gal bit, Chuck Connors as a well-dressed, bald gunslinger, Jack Elam and his lazy eye as Garner's good-natured sidekick, Joan Blondell as a saloon girl, and more. All of them are exactly what you would expect, no more and no less. The film is also horribly lit, most of it taking place at night under garish white lighting in an obvious back lot setting. It's occasionally funny, but never as much as you would hope.
