Fool's Gold

After a short break because of the war, Hopalong Cassidy returns to do undercover work out west. William Boyd wore a big coat which made him less mobile, making this a slower paced episode of the film series. Still kinda cool, but Rand Brooks isn't exactly a great replacement for Lucky. He's youthful, but none of that charm Russell Hayden once had in the part. Still, it was his first try. Maybe he'll become more familiar with the role the next 3 years he would do it?
