Glad you enjoy them. My favorites are
Trail Dust
Borderland
Rustler's Valley
and
The Eagle's Brood.
They are true period westerns -- no cars, no paved roads, no telephone polls, no mailboxes, no iron fences, no neon signs in the window, etc. The horses are spirited, the scenery is beautiful and the landscapes pristine. Not anymore, of course. Today many of those locations are housing developments.
Gabby Hayes is an asset, of course. I'm just beginning to realize what a natural actor and brilliant comedian he was.
I confess I do have a problem with William Boyd's outfit. His outfit is all wrong. It is never believable, it calls attention to itself, and it diminishes the films. At least for me it does.
Do you know of another 1930s western series that was as good as the Hopalong Cassidy films?
