The Slowest Gun in the West (1960)



Mild Laughs at Western Cliches
Phil Silvers was a great comedian. He pulls a few laughs from this ridiculous story of a cowardly man who pretends to be a gun fighter. When Jack Benny shows up for a few minutes at the end, there are a few more laughs.
The humor is absurdist. mainly poking fun at Western televsion and movie cliches. One can see this as a much too long sketch on a variety show or more generously as a precursor to "F Troop" the quite hilarious Western series spoof that ran for a few years, a few years after this.
This is strictly for Phil Silvers and Jack Benny fans.

The Slowest Gun in the West
What's not to like? A classic Phil Silvers comedy - and maybe it's corny. But still great fun to watch.

old comedy
