HOPPY SERVES A WRIT to Robert Mitchum & George Reeves! Saddle up with William Boyd in 4K

Описание: It’s a Hopalong Cassidy western with an exceptional cast. William Boyd is Hoppy, Andy Clyde is California and Jay Kirby as Johnny. Victor Jory, George “Superman” Reeves and Hal Taliaferro are the evil Jordan brothers. In their gang is a very young Robert Mitchum. He doesn’t have much to do in this film but it’s fun to see him at this very early stage of his amazing career. Mitchum made a total of 7 Hopalong Cassidy westerns and his parts got bigger and bigger with each movie.

As usual, this Hopalong Cassidy entry has a larger budget than most B westerns and was a superior genre entry. You’ll also spot character actors Byron Foulger running the hardware store and Earle Hodgins, not as slick barker this time but cast as the bartender. Future Republic Pictures bad guy Roy Barcroft is also in the movie. HOPPY SERVES A WRIT was not shot in Lone Pine, as most of the Hopalong Cassidy productions were, but the spectacular Kern County, California location.

Stick around after the movie because Robert Mitchum’s son, Chris, joins me to talk his Father’s Hopalong Cassidy films. Chis was a guest on our Sunday interview series A WORD ON WESTERNS and his full interview is available on our channel.
