STAGECOACH WAR 1940 (PLATINUM)

Lesley Selander directed this entry in the Hopalong Cassidy series, and this one has a bizarre twist to it.

Hoppy (William Boyd) and Lucky (Russell Hayden) are driving a shipment of horses to a stageline when they run into trouble.

A band of men are intent on stealing the horses and they succeed, at least at first. What is unusual about this entire film is that there are 3 songs, which a more than I can recall for any Hoppy film, and the songs are sung by the bad guys!!

The leady bad guy is named "Smiley" (Rad Robinson) and it is unusual to have the baddies sing as it makes them appear to be the good guys!!

I enjoyed this film, but it is the oddest entry I have seen so far and I have a lot of Hopalong films left to write about so who knows. Check it out for something completely different.
