Borderland poster

Released in 1937, Borderland is a western film directed by Nate Watt, running about 82 minutes. “WILLIAM BOYD, the daring "Hopalong Cassidy" plays a lone game against the law!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Hoppy goes undercover as an outlaw (which permits him, for once, to drink and be mean to children) to track down a bunch of outlaws operating along the border. Loco, the head bad guy, deflects suspicion from himself by pretending to be a moron.

Who’s in it. Borderland stars William Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy, James Ellison as Johnny Nelson, George 'Gabby' Hayes as Windy Halliday and Morris Ankrum as Loco, among others.
