"If you're a Hopalong Cassidy or "B" Western fan, you'll love this DVD. Over 5 hours of rip-snorting western action in 5 complete movies from the 1940s. It don't get much better than this, partner. Platinum Disc Corporation has done a great job in presenting this "Hoppy" series in 8 volumes totaling 40 films. I want more!"
How did they do that????

"The quality is so good that you will think you are watching brand new prints in the best theater on Main Street in the 1940s. Actually it's probably better than that. The intro says these digital re-masters were done by a company named "US Television Office, Inc.". For goodness sake, every person or studio who has old prints TAKE THEM TO "US TELEVISION OFFICE, INC." AND GET THEM RE-MASTERED. Platinum has released 8 volumes of these Hoppy feature films and I own all 8. But for some strange reason, probably only known to some "power lunch" executive, they did not number the volumes...so you will just have to tell the difference by the numbers Amazon gives them. They are worth twice or 3 times the price. There were 66 Hopalong Cassidy films made starring William Boyd, and you can own 40 of them with these 8 volumes at a slim price.

Justice is easy, setting things right much harder

"Hoppy never fails to provide amusement, tension and ultimately good wins over evil. The stories may be cliched but the acting is fresh. Bill Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy) can be proud of his achievements as both actor and producer of the Hopalong Cassidy series, this segment is better than some and as good as any - well worth the time and money invested."
