OVER-THE-HILL-GANG RIDES AGAIN, THE(1969)
The whole gang of heroes(minus Pat O'Brien) return for
this follow-up of the first OTHG movie! This is a good
thing! Even one of the bad guys shows back up, Andy
Devine! And as an added bonus, they've thrown in the
great Fred Astaire!! Fred plays The Baltimore Kid,
who was lynched for robbery and murder! Only thing
is, they hung the wrong man! When the gang finds this out,
they plan to clear him and find the real culprit(s)! As
others have mentioned at IMDb, this is Freds only
western, and as such he doesn't do any dancing or
singing! Doesn't matter, he's one of the best actors
to grace the silver screen!! Just as much fun as the
first OTHG!! A-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Former Texas Rangers Walter Brennan, Edger Buchanan,
and Chill Wills get back together in order to help
their old comrade Fred Astaire, who's apparently
landed in jail. Arriving, they find Astaire dead - dead
drunk that is and the jailed impostor lynched. The
gang decides to stick around to keep Astaire sober
and out of trouble, as he gets hired on as the new
town marshal.
Marginally better than the first film, this still
seems a little too much like a long episode of a
television series. Still, the cast of veteran actors
and old western stars are entertaining, especially
Astaire in his first and only western.
Eighteen years later, a new group of aging stars
stepped into Brennan, Buchanan, and Wills' shoes
for a second, much belated sequel, Once Upon A Texas
Train. - FightingWesterner
