AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Revusical.
A revusical based on Clarence E. Mulford's fictional-cowboy hero who, from 1904, appeared in a series of highly popular stories and novels.
Notes
-
Unlike the clean-cut post-1935 Hopalong Cassidy (as played in more than sixty films by actor William Boyd), Mulford's original character was a rude, rough-talking galoot. These characteristics were also likely to have been infused into Morley's character, albeit with the inclusion of some Australian comedy larrikin traits.
