Movie Reviews of Hopalong Cassidy
Movie Review: Hoppy Plus California Equals Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
My love of Westerns started with Hoppy movies released to TV in the late 1940s. The fact is that William Boyd was among the first film producers to recognize television as an entity unto itself and not necessarily the death knell of motion pictures. I don't know if he owned all of his feature films by that time, but he did eventually, and he released many of the 25 featured in this collection to TV.
But you won't find any of them playing on your box now or anywhere else in the condition of the prints represented here. They are almost pristine and nearly perfect and certainly struck from carefully preserved negatives. It is such a joy to watch these films again, some fifty years after first seeing them, and especially in better shape than the first time around.
Hoppy is, of course, the ultimate hero to me, but he is almost eclipsed in this collection by his sidekick California Carlson (Andy Clyde.) Clyde is so funny in some of these films that I had a hard time not watching more than one in one sitting just to see what kind of trouble California would get into next.
Hoppy had other sidekicks over the years, including Gabby Hayes, but California strikes gold with me and that makes this particular collection of 25 Hoppy films a terrific gift for old timers who barely remember the man on the white horse (Topper) and also a perfect starting point for buckaroos just starting down the trail with Hopalong Cassidy!
