Movie Reviews of Hopalong Cassidy - Call of the Prairie / Heart of the West

Movie Review: "just how I remembered Hoppy on the Big Screen"
Summary: 5 Stars

With "Heart of the West" another Paramount release in 1936, based on "Mesquite Jenkins, Tumbleweed" (Clarence E. Mulford) with the guiding hand of director Howard Bretherton and our fine cast of William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy), Jimmy Ellison (Johnny Nelson), Sidney Blackmer (Big John Trumbull), Lynn Gabriel (Sally), Charles Martin (Jim Jordan), but wait ~ enters one of our favorites in all of westerns George "Gabby" Hayes (Windy Halliday). Hoppy and Johnny save Windy from drowning...thus the adventure begins with rustlers, stampeding herds and outlaw take-over ranches for their own profit. Mixing dynamite with a cattle stampede does the trick for Hoppy and the rest of the good guys.

Must mention that it was sure good to see one of my all-time-favorite sidekicks George "Gabby" Hayes throw in with Hoppy. The added special features are simply great ~ Coming Attractions:"Hopalong Cassidy:Public Hero #1", plus a poster gallery, still gallery and my favorite is original materials from "Merchandising King of the Cowboys" museum exhibit. Hope "Image Entertainment" will keep releasing this outstanding series featuring Hopalong Cassidy in glorious black & white. I'll be standing in line for the next adventure with the Bar-20 wranglers ~ William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy), they'll never be another like him ~ gotta love it.
