The Over-the-Hill Gang is a 1969 American made-for-television western comedy film about a group of 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.

Plot
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.”
