Hoppy Serves a Writ [1943]

 


Director: George Archainbaud

Screenplay: Gerald Geraghty

I must admit as a long-time fan of the genre that this was my first, and thus far only, Hopalong Cassidy film.

Based on this one alone, I don’t think a 59-year-old adult is the target audience.

I have read and enjoyed in a small way some of Clarence Mulford’s Hopalong tales, and this film was the last to be based on one of Mulford’s works.

As per usual, I do not offer plot details as that seems a disservice to those who wish to view, I will mention that we have a young Bob Mitchum doing a little work here.

Overall, seems a fast efficient piece of industry filmmaking aimed at the very young.
