I actually never heard about this 1968 comedy Western from writers James Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum. I stumbled upon "The Shakiest Gun in the West" by random luck in 2022, and I have to admit that the movie's synopsis definitely sounded like a fun movie. So of course I sat down to watch this movie from director Alan Rafkin.
And I must admit that I was genuinely entertained by this movie. It was a great combination of comedy and traditional Western, and it was written in a way that just worked out nicely. So sitting through "The Shakiest Gun in the West" was an enjoyable affair.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, aside from Dub Taylor, but I will say that Don Knotts was really well-cast for the leading role, and he carried the movie phenomenally well with his performance. It is only now that I am perusing IMDb that I see that Pat Morita was in the movie.
If you haven't already seen "The Shakiest Gun in the West", and find yourself with the chance to do so, you should. This is a funny and entertaining movie from start to end. I was genuinely entertained by this movie from director Alan Rafkin.
My rating of "The Shakiest Gun in the West" lands on a six out of ten stars.
