False Paradise 720p


After Bentley sells Professor Larson a worthless ranch, Hoppy tells banker Waite there is silver on the ranch. Waite tells Bentley and Bentley tries to buy it back. When he fails, Waite lends money to finance a mine but puts a 30 day due date on it. Hoppy takes over running the mine but Bentley puts his henchman to work to make sure the venture fails.
A banker is trying to cheat people out of their silver-rich land. Hoppy learns that the banker is in league with an outlaw gang.
Hoppy wears his tan rancher's outfit throughout the film, so we know right off that this isn't going to be a great Hoppy movie. But it is very good, especially for a late entry in the series (this is one of the very last Hoppy films). Trivia section: Elaine Riley is prettier & a better actress than most of the young heroines in the Hoppy series (who were always present to give Lucky or Johnny or whatever young sidekick a mild love interest); she appeared in 5 Hoppy movies, from 1946-48; I was surprised to learn (on imdb) that she's English, she doesn't have the slightest trace of an English accent. We learn that California's real name is "Clarence" (Carlson). We learn that the Big Dome Saloon, in Spring City, offers "free lunches." We learn that in keeping with his wholesome image, Hoppy "never touches" cigars. The silver mine/crooked Westerners vs. naive Easterners plot is interesting, with some turns & several nice touches. There are a couple of obvious gaffs, including Hoppy firing a shot back at his own men during a horse chase (no baddies are even visible around the bend); 5 baddies push a flat lying boulder that must weigh half a ton; & not to be outdone, Hoppy lifts a mine girder that must weigh several hundred pounds! Overall well-done & enjoyable, with three gunfights & good action scenes. I rate it 7/10.
False Paradise was released by United Artists, 10 September 1948. George Archainbaud directed.
CAST: William Boyd, Andy Clyde, Rand Brooks, Joel Friedkin, Elaine Riley, Kenneth MacDonald, Don Haggerty, Cliff Clark, George Eldredge, Richard Alexander, Zon Murray. 60 minutes. (Available on an excellent Platinum Disc DVD).
COMMENT: This entry provides an opportunity for little-known but prolific character actor Joel Friedkin to really wear out his welcome with some repetitious comic turns involving a butterfly net.
Otherwise, we are treated to the familiar "B"-western plot where our soft-headed heroes gladly sign an agreement to meet a deadline and then the baddies do their darndest to prevent them.
All the familiar ploys are brought into play. But while the script offers nothing new, it does (aside from the Friedkin runaround) make for a fast-moving and action-paced Saturday kids' matinee hour.
