    Hopalong Cassidy: Western superhero (sorta)

    "Gunfighter," aka "Ballad of a Gunfighter," (1999) stars Chris Lybbert as Hopalong Cassidy in a story more akin to creator Clarence E. Mulfords yarns than William Boyds films, although its really a marriage of both. The Bar 20 Ranch, where Hopalongs babe (Adrienne Stout) and her uncle (Clu Gulager) reside, is raided by an embittered enemy (Louis Schwiebert) and his rustlers. Cassidy aims to get his girl back and set things aright.
