"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.

Hoppy's guns blaze across the screen in vol 3

"Once again Hopalong Cassidy rides across the screen guns a blazing. If you want to go back to your early days when movies were a treat get this collection of Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd)movies. "In Old California" is a classic in which Hoppy comes to the rescue of a friend of Hoppy's boss. It is full of action, suspense, and any movie with California Carlson is always a belly laugh that we all need from time to time.
These movies are perfect for the parent concerned with what their children watch on TV. They are full of examples supplied by Hoppy, California, and Lucky showing how to live without drinking alcohol, smoking, or use of bad language. They never harm or show disrespect to women, and are a great visual example of how to be an adult, for all kids to see and admire."
