This, the final in the long running Hopalong Cassidy feature film series is a decent enough outing to finish on, however, I notice that in the final few films Boyd gave away his traditional black outfit for lighter garb, Hoppy never quite had the same impact when not dressed in black, could this have led to a drop in popularity that helped end the series? In the subsequent television episodes, he never wore anything but his black clobber, apart from the first dozen that were edited down from the last few films! At any rate William Boyd's 'Hopalong Cassidy' remains one of the great role models for all ages to aspire to, a wonderful legacy indeed to leave behind!
