It is really for Lone Ranger fans of the fifties who can remember Moore and Silverheels in the TV role. One has to overlook some serious acting shortcomings because this was in the early days of T.V. Moore is careful to pronounce all his "ings" and every sentence seems carefully rehearsed. But then he "is" the Lone Ranger and our childhood hero. Tonto is as we remembered him - the loyal companion with an expressionless voice.
(The story line is as we have been told it many times but today's audience would be critical about how so much happened within a few days and the dialogue seems very primitive).
Some little things to notice - the Lone Ranger has only a one gun holster and Silver's saddle was not the silver saddle and martingale that was used later on.
The action is pretty good even if the acting isn't. Good horsemanship by Moore and Silverheels. The introduction is'nt the same as the TV series but when you see Moore at the beginning galloping along on Silver and the big letters THE LONE RANGER appear, you feel the lump in your throat.
My son bought this video for me as a Christmas gift and I have watched it 3 times. It runs for just over an hour. A must for all you Lone Ranger fans.Good value.
