Hoppy, Woodbury head up a wonderful cast and story
William Boyd as Hop-a-long Cassidy has a great story and cast to work with. The movie starts off when Pablo's (George Mari) parents are killed by Big Henry's ( Addison Richards) gang. Luckily for him, and us Joan Woodbury comes to the rescue. None other than George Hayes, as the bartender Spike has a gag order put on him, but he isn't called Gabby for nothing. Hoppy actually starts out in quicksand followed by a great scene with William Farnum. An early performance by western's favorite Paul Fix as henchman Steve and Hoppy's trusted sidekick James Ellison is always there when he needs him. Great to see silent screen staple Dorothy Revier as Dolly, John Merton, Frank Shannon and the Bucko brothers.
