This is truly fun stuff and even today holds up as a great western hero. William Boyd is Hopalong Cassidy. For over 60 Movies he was our hero & now once again because of film preservation and this restored digital DVD we can escape to old west. Great package and family entertainment.
Hoppy was and still is my favorite cowboy of all time. The only cowboy who rode a white stallion (named "Topper"), wore 2 silver six shooters, wore all black, never drank, smoked, was always a gentleman and tried to solve situations peacefully. Imagine that for a role model!!! He was mine. Enjoy.
