Call of the Prairie

This is one of my favorite Hoppy movies. I love the theme song and believe it to typify that era of the Lonesome Cowboy. I just wish one of today's Country singers would record a new version sticking to the original, of course. I can't find the music anywhere unfortunately. Another element of this movie I found endearing was Willie Fung as Wong. In mu opinion, Willie Fung should have a star on the Hollywood boardwalk. He did numerous movies without being credited and did 6 to 9 movies a year. He was a hardworking actor who fit the bill of the times as an Asian character. I can't leave a review without mentioning my favorite horse of all time, Topper. He was not only beautiful, he had personality and was the best partner a cowboy could have. When watching Hoppy movies pay close attention to Topper's interaction with other horses especially Lucky's horse Copper. Topper was an intelligent and affectionate horse as well as a fine actor. In the movie Three Men from Texas pay attention to the beginning of the film where Lucky and Hoppy are riding along and come to a halt. Watch Topper's interaction with Lucky's horse in this one. It's the call of the prairie in my heart.
