Go-Get-'em Haines is a 1936 action picture with William Boyd. You might know him as Hopalong Cassidy. I recently picked up a set of all 66 Hopalong Cassidy films. I haven't started watching the set but I have already see some of Hopy's pictures. They're OK, pretty standard plots and action. I do like the Hopy character.
In Go-Get-'em Haines William plays a reporter called Haines. He follows his story onto an ocean liner that leaves before he can get off. There's a bit of mystery, some romance, a fight or two, but it's not much more than average. I gave it a 6, it's better than a 5 but not a whole lot more. George Wallace Sayle is the screenwriter. The only film, of his nearly 40, that I had heard of was The Man They Could Not Hang with Boris Karloff. That's a better film but George only wrote the story on that one. At the end of his career he wrote a couple of episodes of the TV series Hopalong Cassidy.
