SECRETS OF THE WASTELAND 1941 (PLATINUM)

This is another fine entry in the Hopalong Cassidy series.

It has been a while since I watched any Hoppy movies, and it was very good to return to these films.

Actress Barbara Britton masde her debut in this fine western about a group of Chinese immigrants who have a beautiful piece of lane across the desert and are fighting to keep it a secret.

Hoppy (William Boyd) leads a group of archaeologists to a site digging and the bad guys follw them. Upon arrival they also discover this hidden land the Chinese own, but they have not sighned the proper papers as of yet.

Hoppy fights for the rights of the Chinese and manages to outsmart the crooks. This is a fine western with a very different kind of plot. The rest of the cast includes Andy Clyde, Brad King, Douglas Fowley, Richard Loo, Lee Tong Foo and John Rawlins.

A simple and fun film that really delivers the goods.
