The 42nd of 66 Hopalong Cassidy movies.
Ellanora Needles was the wife of George Reeves from 21 September 1940 until 16 October 1950.
Some small scenes early in the career of two actors who later became famous in their own right. Robert Mitchum and George Reeves( aka tv's Superman).
This is one of 54 Hopalong Cassidy features produced by Harry Sherman, initially distributed by Paramount Pictures from 1935-41, and then by United Artists from 1942-44, which were purchased by their star William Boyd for nationally syndicated television presentation beginning in 1948 and continuing thereafter for many years, as a result of their phenomenal success. Each feature was re-edited to 54 minutes so as to comfortably fit into a 60 minute time slot, with six minutes for commercials. It was not until 50 years later that, with the cooperation of Mrs. Boyd. i.e. Grace Bradley, they were finally restored to their original length with their original opening and closing credits intact.
