Disguising himself as a milquetoast Easterner who writes Western novels, Hoppy enrolls in a dude ranch in order to unmask the murderer of the owner's husband.
Movie executives said that Mr. Boyd, who couldn't ride a horse, had made Hopalong too much of a gentleman. But,‐he persisted, became a good rider and adopted Topper who would be his mount for 19 years. He sure made riding look easy for him. Love Hopalong.
Hoppy's iconic white horse was named Topper. Hopalong Cassidy movies (66 of them) from the 1930’s and 1940’s were shown on early TV in the 50’s adding to his popularity! William Boyd and Topper appeared in parades around the country in the 1950s that would easily draw 100,000 people! A documentary hosted by the western actor Dennis Weaver (who played Chester on ‘Gunsmoke’) said Boyd made two world tours and was seen by 20 million children! For us kids who grew up then, we had Hopalong Cassidy gun belts, lunchboxes, watches, trading cards, comic books, etc.! The Hoppy movies had high production values for western films of that era. The consummate western hero! As they say, a "straight shooter!' And that laugh!!! The best laugh in the westerns!!! Hah-hah-hah!!!
I love watching Hop Along Cassidy William Boyd was a great actor and played his part just the way he lived his life great movies he made and I watch them every day they make me feel good
Love Hoppy, simple straightforward and a character that ran constant through all the movies and tv shows Brings me back to my childhood every time I watch
some of the best series ever made...i would absolutely love to have an original 1940's tv set with all these great Hopalong Cassidy series on, and i would religiously watch them...i love this! so many great laughs, and supreme acting...
I absolutely love the time long ago whete the good guys wore white hats and always won the battles over the bad guys without the blood and gore as well as the cruising. Our children learned what the meaning of "GOOD GUYS MEANT". Thank you so much for remembering such wonderful entertainment!
The daughter Dorrie was played by Jane Clayton who was the mother for the first 4 seasons in TV's "Lassie." She and Hoppy's sidekick Lucky - Russell Hayden - were actually married to each other when this picture was made!
I met and shook hands with Hoppy at the Canadian Ex ,he looked ten feet tall every garbage day my mother would throw out my Hoppy hat and the next day I would appear wearing it .
I like to make a correction, HC disguise himself as easterner specializing in Rat Traps! Not a writer of Western novels. I wish Charlotte Wynters, had performed in more than 2 episodes.
@@timothyplonk4266 Clayton Moore who played The Lone Ranger on the TV series did not ride Topper. William Boyd bought Topper in 1937 and after that only Hoppy rode him. Before that he rode a horse called King Nappy that belonged to the studio stables. King Nappy had an injury and could not be riden and Topper was the replacement in 1935. Hoppy bought him and his wife, Grace, named him. After that only Hoppy rode him. There was an actor by the last name of Hart that played The Lone Ranger in early movies and he rode King Nappy also but after 1937 no one rode Topper but Hoppy. Hoppy has a Museum in Cambridge, Ohio where he was raised in early life. Topper died in 1961 and is buried in Calabasas at the Pet Memorial Park. It can be found on Find-a-Grave website Hoppy rode Topper thru The Pumpkin Show parade in Circleville, Ohio in the mid to late 50s. I got to see him and meet him thru his sponsor, for which he was in advertisements for, MED-O-PURE DAIRY. He was a striking figure in Black with his silver trimmed guns, holster and saddle and that silver hair when he lifted his hat to wave it and always with that big, beautiful smile of his. Ohio is proud to claim him!

I love Hoppy so much and watch him daily.
What a great and funny actor Hopalong Cassidy is playing the wimp. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish movies like this were being made today. Still have the memories. Hoppy is still The Man.
Back in 1938 Hoppy was on top of the world.
Gabby, was the best sidekick ever,
🤠🏇😇✌🎥
One of my favorite Hoppy films. Loved it!
Love Hoppy, simple straightforward and a character that ran constant through all the movies and tv shows Brings me back to my childhood every time I watch
I watch him daily he helps me thru the day; he was swift at catching the bad guys !
They cannot stop the old time western just luv them
some of the best series ever made...i would absolutely love to have an original 1940's tv set with all these great Hopalong Cassidy series on, and i would religiously watch them...i love this! so many great laughs, and supreme acting...

Thanks Again Though.
A 1938 movie with Hop Along Cassidy !
thank you, good entertaining movie.
I love hoppalong Cassidy he's the best
Hoppy had the greatest laugh ever. Thanks for showing.
The All Time Best in the business [men, along with Dezi Arnez]; And for the women: Bea Benaderet (My opinion).
There were a lot of great western heroes, but for me Hoppy was number one. I love his card game scenes.
I absolutely love the time long ago whete the good guys wore white hats and always won the battles over the bad guys without the blood and gore as well as the cruising. Our children learned what the meaning of "GOOD GUYS MEANT".

I never realized Boyd was such a good actor. His "dude" is a hoot.
He had a career before the Hoppy series, he was one of the highest paid in Hollywood. Read his story on Wikipedia.
@@bethdavis7812 Like Gene Autry, he was no dumb cowboy, buying up all his movies which again made him a very wealthy man.
The daughter Dorrie was played by Jane Clayton who was the mother for the first 4 seasons in TV's "Lassie." She and Hoppy's sidekick Lucky - Russell Hayden - were actually married to each other when this picture was made!
Wow I never knew that! How interesting
Wow I never knew that! How interesting
Thanks for the interesting text about Russell Hayden
I kinda liked Hoppy coming in as a tenderfoot! People underestimating me is one of my favorite ploys! 🤭🤫
my opinion 🦂🍻
This is as good a movie as any of the 100's I have seen. Well made, good action, good story line, excellent acting, and very nice music.

Ken McCurtain ,m,
Hoppy in his “get up” as someone else is as good as The Lone Ranger was.
Riogi!I know so do I but it’s not easy watching alone in your old age! Lol
“There are still men in this country that will lay down their lives FOR THE RIGHT!” I pray we can get those men in Congress and clean it up!
TUBI has Hopalong Cassidy TV shows Free with ads 👍👏👊
I think it's a good movie. I'll watch.
Jan Clayton as Dorrie Marsh.

Thanks, I enjoyed this film
During the fight scene between Steve and Windy, the girl kept calling Windy "Lucky". They sure let that slide. Lol.
I met and shook hands with Hoppy at the Canadian Ex ,he looked ten feet tall every garbage day my mother would throw out my Hoppy hat and the next day I would appear wearing it .
I only met one actor in my life. A guy named Ronald Reagan. I think he was running for something when I met him in 1980.
I met Jaime Farr (Klinger from M.A.S.H.)
What a memory of an all around wonderful actor and role model for children in the 30-40-50’s. Enjoyed your post.
Movies with R. Hayden ' appeared ' better than with Ellison !
LOVE,THAT CASSIDY LAUGH.

I like the lauh he had and topper

She remembers the serial numbers on the stolen money. Baloney!

In my opinion, California stole the show. He was hilarious as the English man. And as I stated below, so was Hoppy.
Hey don't chase gabby he never has any money
when he says, do you want to come with me, he means your paying
I see bailed hay , funny bailed hay wasn’t invented until about the 1930 s
This is labeled 1938. However I’m pretty sure the release date was February 24th 1939.
Mance Rayder you are correct,the correct release year for this movie is indeed 1939.😎🇱🇷👍😎
i keep telling glenn, go get a job at the longbranch, he will listen one day
Watch Hopalong Cassidy’s Topper bite some hairs out the mane of another horse at 9:52
Duuuuuude!
WTF FREESES UP AND GOES BLANK HALF WAY THROUGH SUNSET TRAIL
Do you think this is the moment " sang him the cow girl being lonely song" Lucky fell in love with the daughter? I know he married her.
Você que é inteligente, deveria legendar os filmes antes de postar!!!
where' john wayne when you need him to ride shotgun on the stage

let's hope it's your taylors bill, then they can share payment
Just curious- Does anyone know what type of horse Topper was? Looks to big for a quarter horse. Possibly Andalusian?
@sgbobsg spot on prof
Not sure the type of horse,however I did read that Hopalong and The Lone Ranger both rode the same horse.

The Lone Ranger rode Silver and Silver was a different horse from Topper, the horse that Hopalong Cassidy rode. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hoppy Rules. There isn't a western today -- not a recent one with its foul mouthed grammar and failed humor attempts that can begin to compare👍🇺🇸
what do you know somebody taught windy to read
a pity she can't sing an aria
He kills me being English almost gay
Yep Hoppy, congratulations you found out what the spurs were for. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
carrying thirty grand in your purse on a stage. I didn't expect her to get far.
