UNEXPECTED GUEST 1947 (PLATINUM)

Very good entry in the Hopalong Cassidy series.

California (Andy Clyde) along with Hoppy (William Boyd) and Lucky Jenkins (Rand Brooks) head to a ranch for the reading of a will made out by one of California's late relatives.

The will states that the estate wil be split between 7 family members, but when one dies then that money is divided between the survivors. Soon there are several mysterious deaths.

Hoppy learns that the family attorney is embezzling money from the estate. Hopalong confronts him and then the trouble really starts. This is a fun entry and is a good combination of western and mystery film.

Una O'Conner has a great role as a housekeeper who believes she is hearing voices from the grave. Grand entertainment for any Cassidy fan. The rest of the cast includes Patricia Tate, John Parrish, Ned Young and Earle Hodgins.
