False Colors. Released by United Artists, 5 November 1943. Director: George Archainbaud.
CAST: William Boyd, Andy Clyde, Jimmy Rogers (as Jimmy Rogers), Tom Seidel, Claudia Drake, Douglass Dumbrille, Bob Mitchum, Glenn Strange, Pierce Lyden, Roy Barcroft, Sam Flint, Earle Hodgins, Elmer Jerome, Tom London, Dan White, George Morrell. 65 minutes.
(Available on an excellent Platinum Disc or Echo Bridge DVD).
For this entry and the next five, sidekick number two is Jimmy Rogers (the son of Will Rogers) who plays a character called Jimmy Rogers. However, it's little-known Tom Seidel who easily takes the acting honors here with a really brilliant performance as the real heir, the pretender, and the false playing the real! And to make this entry even more of a must-see, Bob Mitchum is in this one too. He and Hoppy (obviously doubled by Ted Wells) have a great fight in the local saloon. And then Ted returns for the climax to punch up the villain, neatly played by Douglass Dumbrille (who breaks all the rules here by doing all his own fighting, including a breathtaking tumble over his own desk).
