After the release of "Support Your Local Sheriff!" (1969), James Garner told an interviewer that Walter Brennan was “the consummate professional who respects everyone in the production. He does his thing, and you know what to expect. You don’t have to worry about him doing things behind your back.” When Garner was asked again for a comment on Walter Brennan, he replied, “He was old before he actually was & he was an unbelievably talented actor. He was a very nice guy.” Brennan’s memories of the picture were pleasant. He enjoyed working with director Burt Kennedy, also “a nice guy,” and seemed pleased to be playing a “dirty old man.” Garner remembered that Brennan was the first actor he had ever seen use cards: “He knew the dialogue and never flubbed a line, but I guess he just needed to know that his words were there as backup. He put a card up here and another down there and just kind of glanced at them to make sure. You couldn’t tell, though.” Brennan also had a great deal of respect for the lines as written. Even in old age, he refrained from indulging an actorly desire to “improve a script.” The major exception, of course, had been his work with Howard Hawks, who treated screenplays as a template designed to be modified.

It is said that the bison is the only animal to turn and face a storm. To get through the blizzard faster. To not hide. To face difficult times head on. To meet the moment. For the moment is all we have.
