I am not entirely sure if the three-part series premiere of The Lone Ranger in 1949 found its way to theatres, but it has been released on VHS & DVD both as a feature film compilation and as individual episodes of the series, as they were originally filmed.
We all know the story. John Reid (Clayton Moore), the lone survivor of a Texas Ranger massacre, is nursed back to health by Tonto (Jay Silverheels), and begins to plan his revenge on outlaw leader Butch Cavendish (Glenn Strange).
I remember seeing the three episodes on WPIX back in the 70's, when it aired as part of an afternoon block, and have seen it several times since. It never gets old, pilgrims.
The YouTube poster might've thought he was being cute by including a screen shot of the 2013 feature film bomb with Johnny Depp as Tonto.
Rating: A.
