"In this forge upon this anvil, was hammered out a man who became a legend. A man who hated thievery and oppression. His face masked, his true name unknown, he rode the west upon a silver white stallion. Appearing out of nowhere to strike down injustice or outlawry and then vanishing as mysteriously as he came. His sign was a silver bullet, his name was...The Lone Ranger."
Over the last few months I've found myself becoming a bit of a Lone Ranger fan, and after watching a fair amount of the original television series, I turned my attention to the first of two technicolor feature films that starred Clayton Moore as the masked man. Sure enough, Moore knocks it out of the park as the Ranger, not because he's a good actor so much, because he really isn't. But because he legitimately seems to have fun playing the role.
The set pieces are reasonably big for the time, with an impressive sequence involving a flaming cart being the highlight, along with a very well executed fistfight in Indian territory. The film truly is an unappreciated western and a great little adventure.
Hi-yo Silver, awaaaaaaaay!!!
