over the hill gang ride again . western . 74 min and tv movie of the week and circa 1970. i be sure i saw this movie a a kid and mainly because i be such huge a fan of walter brennan and fred astaire and chill will and edward buchanan . this be a solid a or b list cast of actor and all in the twilight of their career at the time this movie be release . this be a review of the dvd edition release by gemstone entertainment and it ain not gon na be pretty . with regard to plot or script and quality of act . this be a typical film factory production from aaron spell production . a i mention earlier and all the actor be real pro and deliver solid performance . the script be nothing spectacular and be indicative of tv movie script that be crank out in the 70 . it be fill with tired cliche and predictable plot line and complete with the hero wear a white hat and the villain wear a black hat ( it the only comment i will make regard costume or wardrobe ) . this dvd movie and have be in release for about a year and deserve well treatment by the folk at gemstone entertainment . the film to dvd transfer be absolutly horrible . i suspect that film student from the university of southern california would have do a much good job then the allege industry professional work at and or for gemstone . the film appear soft or slightly out of focus during much of the 74 minute . the transfer have wildly shifting color hue and opacity rate . several scene be overly dark and obscure detail while other scene be wash out and again and to the point of obscure detail . on still other occasion and object that be suppose to be white appear on screen a be pink . do not adjust your tv . it be the poor production value of the film to dvd transfer . there be absolutely no extra on the disc . we and in the dvd collect public and have come to expect the extra normally put on the disc . would it have be to much to ask that short bios of the principal actor be include . how about a teaser from the film that this sequel be base on ( the over the hill gang ) . the absence of extra can be forgive . inaccurate information on the dvd cover be another story . when i stumble across the factory seal box of this movie and i figure i have uncover a true gem ( no pun intend ) . the box list a cast that include pat obrien and jack elam in addition to the folk i discuss earlier . imagine my shock and disappointment when i find out that pat and jack be not in this sequal . ( a quick check of the imdb show me that pat and jack be in the first movie but not in the second . thanks imdb . at least your site be accurate ) . i pay $ 6 . 99 for the disc so money be not the issue . be it worth the money . you will have to make that decision for yourself . i wont throw this disc away but i might use it in trade . on a very thin positive note and the disc be release for world wide view so it be not encode a region specific . a real plus for fan all over the world . be it possible that gemstone new this be a horrible transfer and be not concern about dvd pirate copy the disc for the black market .
