Review of The Lone Ranger

You don't have to be a Lone Ranger fan to love this movie. Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels do it all in this action packed western thriller. Moore also goes undercover with the guise of an old prospector. Lyle Bettger as the wealthy rancher has the creme of the crop of henchmen led by Robert Wilke. They fight to lay claim to the silver beneath the Indian's sacred mountain. If that's not enough Chief Red Hawk (Frank DeKova) is too feeble to stop Angry Horse from retaliation of the ranchers. Michael Ansara has a great fight scene with Moore to settle the score. An outstanding role by 'Lassie' Producer Bonita Granville as the long suffering wife Welcome Gilmore and Perry Lopez is true to form as Pete Ramirez the man with a price on his head. Other stellar performances are from John Pickard as Sheriff Sam Kimberley, Beverly Washburn as Lila Kilgore and Charles Meredith as the Governor. Kemo Sabe (trusty scout) Clayton Moore gave a Hi Yo Silver and a silver bullet with the William Tell Overture. Moore was a natural to play the selfless hero as evidenced by the people he saved saying, "I wanted to thank him." He is a role model to everyday heroes who faithfully do a thankless job.
