After seeing Robert Duvall in "Broken Trail," I guess nothing much can compare to that. "Desolation Canyon" was awful. First of all, where did they get the name? One hour Republic Studios films used to have titles like that that bore no relation whatsoever to the movie. This was a one hour Roy Rogers movie that was dragged out to two unbelievable hours, but didn't even have the comic relief of Gabby Hayes. Everybody in the movie was Canadian except for the leads. I'm fed up with that. The only highlight for me was Patrick Duffy. No, not his acting. I saw an amazing resemblance to Hopalong Cassidy. I'm going to write a screenplay for a bio-pic of William Boyd and try to sell it to Duffy. Who can we cast in Andy Clyde's old part?
