As I go thru the set of Hopalong Cassidy films I am always fascinated by the casts and the lively adventure of each one.
This story concerns a man named Dan Slack (Victor Jory) who is involved with cattle rustling. He and his men will stop at nothing to get their way.
Johnny Travers (Jay Kirby) of the Bar 20 ranch calles in Hoppy William Boyd) and California (Andy Clyde) to investigate. Hoppy has some close calls as he is challenged in a bar to a fistfight with a gunman and it goes Hoppy's way and it is a well staged fight. I thought it was interesting that the man William Boyd was fighting was Robert Mitchum.
The film comes to a good end, as usual and once the brief running time of 58 minutes has run its course you feel disappointed it's over. It's a great action film with top notch cast that also includes Ellanora Needles, George Reeves, Bobby Larson and George Givot.
Nothing new here, just good clean fun with Hopalong and his friends.
