Does no one remember Garner's work in "Maverick" in the 1960s? Some episodes of that western series were hilarious!

Maverick... ah yes... great early 60s TV western.
Later revived as a film with Jody Foster as the pretty
Riverboat Gambling Queen who steals his heart and
most of his hard won money.
But his ultimate role was in Grand Prix - still the
ultimate racing film after 50 years.

Not seen much of the original Maverick but I do remember when they did new ones in colour and everything.
From reading about him over the weekend apparently a lot of the Rockford Files episodes were rewordings of Maverick episodes
I remember being fascinated by the Rockford Files starting sequence as a kid. What is this answer phone device, new fangled technologee!

Garner's body of work was substantial. Some highlights, besides "Maverick" and "Rockford Files" [and don't giggle at his involvement in "Twilight" ]:
Battle for Terra 2007
The Notebook 2004
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood 2002
Atlantis: The Lost Empire 2001
Space Cowboys 2000
Twilight 1998
My fellow Americans 1996
Maverick 1994
Murphy's Romance 1985 [Oscar nomination]
Victor/Victoria 1982 [see Guide entry on the front page]
The Americanization of Emily 1964
I've seen all but two of the films listed above, and there were many worthy ones that came along while I was too young to see anything much besides Disney films....
