Colt Comrades (1943)
I rented this installment in the Hopalong Cassidy 63-film franchise because Robert Mitchum got his start with bit parts in a few of the 1943 flicks. He has a very, very small part in this film. If you’re looking to see him in his “Bob Mitchum” days in a cowboy costume, rent Riders of the Deadline, because he miraculously comes back to life and has a bigger part.
In the first scene, Robert Mitchum is virtually the only one on the screen; most of his companions are Wanted posters with his face and a matching reward. And, wanted outlaws don’t last long in one-hour western flicks. After five minutes, there’s no more Bob, and William Boyd as the memorable Hopalong Cassidy collects his reward to help buy a ranch. Before long, they discover oil on the property, and the gang is in for a whole new set of problems!
If you like this western serial, you’ve got 60 films to go through, all with William Boyd in the lead. Each has a little obstacle, a little action, and a simple little ending to tie things up at the end of the hour. And, if you pick the ones made in 1943, you could catch a glimpse of Bob Mitchum!
