WIDE OPEN TOWN 1941 (PLATINUM)

A sure winner in the Hopalong Cassidy series.

Hoppy and his friends come to the town of Gunsight looking for cattle that was stolen from the Bar 20 ranch.

Hoppy, California and Lucky find the toewn has no sheriff and when Hoppy stops a gang of thugs from destroying the local newspaper he is elected sheriff, much to the dismay of the gunslingers running the town.

He sets a trap for the rustlers and then lets them go in hopes of them leading him to the rest of the gang.

The plots to these films are always very simply and straight forward and that is what makes them fun and good for the entire family. The film moves along quickly and at 80 minutes is longer than most of these films run.

The top notch cast includes William Boyd, Andy Clyde and Russell Hayden as Hoppy, California and Lucky respectively and also includes Victor Jory, Evelyn Brent, Marris Ankrum, Roy Barcroft, Glenn Strange and Cara Williams.

I can easily give this my highest recommendation.
