Western Movie Review: The Over the Hill Gang (1969)

The Over the Hill Gang: TV Movie:  This was originally a TV movie and I have watched it on the Western Movie Channel.    In this movie we have an ex captain of the Texas Ranger whose son-in-law is being bullied in his attempt to unseat the mayor.  The mayor has the sheriff and judge under his thumb.  The son-in-law is a newspaper man and would like to expose the mayor, but the law forces him out of this.  The Captain calls some of his old Ranger’s to help.  They are all old men, and at first they don’t succeed.  However, they take up the strategy of divide and conquer.  The influence the officials to get away or to kill each other.  However, the mayor has already hired replacements who appear even more ruthless.  Walter Brennan, Edgar Buchanan, Pat O'Brien and Chill Wills star as the Texas Rangers.
