Review:
Riders of the Timberline
Hopalong Cassidy and Johnny Nelson ride to the mountains to help a man and his daughter save their logging business from someone who is sabotaging their efforts.
This unusual Hoppy western in a sense that our hero in black features in a timber western, and it’s quite a lively one with the usual villains coming up with diabolical schemes and Hoppy and Co. Overcoming them – there’s plenty of action, fist fights in the street, a lively shootout finale with Hoppy diving from a dam wall, reaching a dynamite and chucking it as the bad guys. Good stunt work, and a good entry. It’s nice to see Victor Jory on the good side – he plays a lumberjack with a French accent and a hearty laughter. Written by coltras35 on imdb.com
