''The Over-the-Hill Gang'' is a 1969 TV-movie Western comedy about aging Texas Rangers starring Walter Brennan and Pat O'Brien. Chill Wills, Edgar Buchanan, Andy Devine, and Jack Elam play supporting roles. The film was written by Richard Carr and directed by Jean Yarbrough. The plot concerns a young newspaper editor who is conducting a campaign to unseat the town's "tinhorn mayor." The mayor is backed by a "gun-happy sheriff" and a "whiskey-soaked judge." The editor's campaign receives a boost when he is joined by a former Texas Ranger and "three of the fightin'-est straight shooters around."〔TV Guide, October 4–10, 1969, p A-58〕 The movie premiered on October 7, 1969, as the ''ABC Movie of the Week''.〔 A sequel called ''The Over-the-Hill Gang Rides Again'' was produced the following year, with Brennan, Wills, Buchanan, Devine, and Burt Mustin reprising their roles while Fred Astaire replaced O'Brien as the second lead. Both movies doubled as a pilot for a projected weekly series, but ABC ultimately passed on the idea. In 1971, George Allen became the head coach of the Washington Redskins and he began to acquire many veteran players to bolster the Redskins depleted roster. In reference to this movie, the Redskins were nicknamed, "The Over-the-Hill Gang." ==Cast== *Walter Brennan as Nash Crawford *Pat O'Brien as Captain Oren Hayes *Chill Wills as Gentleman George Asque *Edgar Buchanan as Jason Fitch *Gypsy Rose Lee as Cassie *Andy Devine as Judge Amos Polk *Jack Elam as Sheriff Clyde Barnes *Edward Andrews as Mayor Nard Lundy *Ricky Nelson as Jeff Rose *Kristin Harmon as Hannah Rose (as Kristen Nelson) *William Smith as Amos *Myron Healey as Deputy Tucker *Rex Holman as Deputy Dolby *Bruce Glover as Deputy Steel *Allen Pinson as Deputy *Burt Mustin as Old Man *Almira Sessions as Mrs. Fletcher *Robert Karnes as Sheriff *Dennis Cross as Sheriff *William 'Billy' Benedict as Joe (Telegrapher) *Don Wilbanks as Big Red Connors (Mayor Lundy's New Recruits) *Robert F.
