Hans J. Wollstein
Although he reportedly didn't much cotton to children in real life, William Boyd always imbued his famous onscreen character with kindness and a strict set of moral values. Borrowed Trouble, more than anything else, remains a testament to Boyd's very own interpretation of Clarence Mulford's pulp fiction hero, a far cry from the author's original tobacco-chewing cowhand. As a Western, Borrowed Trouble isn't much -- although the Lone Pine scenery is fine as always -- but the sentiment is comfortably old-fashioned and veteran character actress Anne O'Neal is wonderfully wry as the Irish accented schoolmarm.
