Very cool ZS. Imagine Clayton will always hold a special place in your heart. I know just how you feel. He is one I missed, but would have LOVED to have met him, AND Jay. Thanks for sharing that with us. Keith
Display More“The Lone Ranger” from 1956, and “The Lone Ranger and The Lost City of Gold” from 1958, both starring Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.
I saw the new “Lone Ranger” movie, which I thought was great. I had a great time watching that movie. It was one fun ride, and one of my new favorite movies. But as much as I like it, it’s just not THE Lone Ranger! So this weekend, I got out my old DVD’s of these two movies, and enjoyed them once again!
For what are basically B Movies, these films are really good! They’re not just extended episodes of the TV series, but actually well written, enjoyable films. I especially like “The Lost City of Gold”, because Jay Silverheels had a little more to do as Tonto than he did in the old series.
(Side note: I got to meet Clayton Moore back in 1986 when hecame to my hometown, in character as “The Lone Ranger” for a Texas Sesquicentennialal Celebration. He was a great guy and real gentleman)
