Support Your Local Sheriff earns most of its laughs by subverting western clichés; a mayor referring to his daughter says to Garner, "She takes after her dear departed mother." "Mother died?" Garner says with appropriate sobriety. "No, she just departed," says the mayor dryly, exiting screen left. The film abounds with set-up/tag-line jokes which work well, carrying it through a story line which parodies both Hawk's Rio Bravo and Ford's My Darling Clementine (Sheriff holds murderer despite efforts of murderer's family).

She has also been initiated into the perils of her new trade: at Aqueduct two weeks ago, Jockey Willie Lester cut her off out of the gate, an unchivalrous act that caused Tuesdee to finish eighth and earned Willie...
...mother took a dim view of my ambitions," she recalls. "She threw at me a copy of The Carpetbaggers. 'Read this,' she said, 'and tell me if that really is the kind of career you want.' " Raquel studied the book like a road map. "It was a tremendous help to me," she says, "because from it I learned what not to do. I made up my mind that Hollywood is not a place filled with sinister characters lurking in half-shadows waiting to seduce virgins. It's a place filled with hardheaded business people...
