Director: Jean Yarbrough; Format: VHS/EP; Rating: NR; Length: 90 minutes (Color); UPC: 096009012939; MPN: 01293. Condition: Very Good. From private collection, NOT a previous rental. Cover and tape are both still in overall great shape. Same cover design as that shown here. Synopsis: One of the better and more diverting of ABC's first full season of made-for-television movies, Over the Hill Gang was a low-budget Western with a gimmick: Get a bunch of elderly actors, known either for their leading roles in the 1930s, or for playing comic sidekicks (and Walter Brennan was a lot of both categories) through the 1950s, and put them together in a plot. The result was this enjoyable oater about a quartet of retired Texas Rangers (Pat O'Brien, Walter Brennan, Chill Wills, Edgar Buchanan) who take on the corrupt mayor (Edward Andrews) of a small Nevada town where O'Brien's daughter (Kris Nelson) and newspaper editor son-in-law (Rick Nelson) live. Jack Elam represents the bad guys' muscle with his usual threatening aplomb, and Andy Devine gets a lot of mileage out of his role as a corrupt, inept judge. When O'Brien and company realize that they're no longer fast enough to do the job with guns, they decide to use their wits instead, outsmarting and outflanking the villains. The pacing by director Jean Yarbrough (whose own career went back to the 1920s, and whose last film this was) is a little leisurely, but the script is fairly clever and it's a lot of fun watching the veteran actors chewing up the scenery, with Devine having the most fun of all in an unusual role as a villain. One surprise in the cast is Gypsy Rose Lee, looking radiant as ever, portraying an admirer of the former rangers, in what was her final screen appearance. Also appearing are such familiar old faces as Myron Healey, William Benedict, and Elmira Sessions in supporting roles. Priority Mail delivery for this item costs $7.00 at the request of a buyer.
