In this made-for-TV action/thriller, ex-Flying Tiger pilot Harry Walker (David Janssen) now flies a helicopter as a traffic reporter for a Salt Lake City radio station.

The Over-the-Hill Gang Rides Again 1970  TV, 74 min.
Genre: Family / Western / Comedy / Drama
Director: George McCowan
Cast: Walter Brennan, Fred Astaire, Edgar Buchanan, Andy Devine, Chill Wills, Lana Wood, Paul Richards, Parley Baer, Walter Burke, Lillian Bronson, Jonathan Hole, Burt Mustin, Don Wilbanks, Pepper Martin, Eddie Quillan
The old-timer Texas Rangers (Walter Brennan, Edgar Buchanan, and Chill Wills–without Pat O'Brien) are at it again as they head to Waco to help another retired Ranger (Fred Astaire) in his rehabilitation–from being the town drunk. Again, it's fun, though inane. Astaire, in his only "western" role, is excellent–complete with mustache.
