The Showdown

A goofy but reasonably enjoyable Hopalong Cassidy entry that really had me thinking about the Red Ryder segments in A Christmas Story.

Hopalong Cassidy shows he's no fool at playing poker with the fake European aristocrats. Another enjoyable entry with Russell Hayden getting jealous again and William Boyd playing the hero credibly. Perhaps not the best episode, for it lacked something as far as comedy, but as always these films are polished enough to deliver the thrills.
