It's Heroes Month! For this 736th episode, cue up the William Tell Overture and get ready for the masked vigilante & his native buddy. That's because the topic of the first of 2 movies today is The Lone Ranger (plus, of course Tonto....and also, hi-yo Silver). Stuart Heisler directs Clayton Moore, Jay Silverheels and Bonita Granville in an enjoyable western with all the necessary thrills and constant danger. For film #2, I spent 13 minutes talking about Gene Autry in South Of The Border. While The Singing Cowboy didn't impress me that much, this DOES get he, William Farnum and George Montgomery on this channel...along with Champion the horse. So that's something. In any case, gear up for this first show in May, a month devoted to classic heroes just like the Ranger & Tonto.
Well, Actually: just to clarify at the 17:45 mark that white men masquerading as natives on horseback wasn't the issue: it was that these fake natives rode with saddles. Also, I can confirm that Monday's show WILL be a doubleheader as I tackle both Tarzan The Ape Man and the 1924 Peter Pan.
