Western Collector's Set (Once Upon a Texas Trail / The Desert Trail / The Dawn Rider / The Over the Hill Gang / The Over the Hill Gang Rides Again)

As issued by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, this collection presents five westerns produced between 1935 and 1988. It opens with the telemovie ONCE UPON A TEXAS TRAIN, which finds parolee Willie Nelson teaming up with his old posse to rob a locomotive, and pursued by determined lawman Richard Widmark. The set then includes two John Wayne vehicles from the 1930s: THE DAWN RIDER (1935) - with Wayne as a young man intent on pursuing the homicidal thief who murdered his father - and THE DESERT TRAIL - with Wayne as an unfortunate character who gets framed twice, first for murder and then for robbery. The set concludes with two made-for-television comedy westerns: the 1969 comedy western THE OVER-THE-HILL GANG and its 1970 sequel, THE OVER-THE-HILL GANG RIDES AGAIN, each one about an elderly group of ex-Texas Rangers who attempt to thwart the villains intent on taking over their town.
