The Master Key 

The film was CLEAR??? It's one big smudge. As I Commented above, a colorized print of that would improve the video portion.

Similar quality is with GANG BUSTERS serial. Definitely filled with diabolical characters and criminals of all kinds, many of whom are able to be very natty dressers along the way!

Excellent 👍🏾

Chapter 3 had Ernie Adams, 4 had Edmund Cobb! Who's coming up next? Find out next week at this theater!

You too? Gosh, I do miss the old days, not only great movies, but please and thank you, yes ma'am, no sir. MANNERS meant something. Great comment!

Even thou thee are old movies there is bad against good simple plots don’t have to cover grand kids eyes or fast forward

Loop

Thank you for that information. Interesting!

It never came to my mind to think, that was an republic serial. No furniture smashed at oponents durig fights, no shooting with more bullets than a revolver has ammo...

I disagree… I believe direct imitation is lack of imagination coupled with an inflated sense of self importance. There are no more cliffhangers. The doors are open

Well, this IS 'entertainment', and accuracy isn't a high priority. Note that this was at a time when the 'feminist' nonsense got going.

Plus they are not big chested and full of makeup, but still beautiful?

What a doll! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maris_Wrixon#Selected_filmography Chief of police was in "The Bank Dick" starring W.C. Fields as a salesman for Beefsteak Mines. Also in "Charlie Chan in Shanghai" as a fake "government agent". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uIy-CKvHoMk.html

Glad you enjoyed it. It was quite a surprise to me also.

Thanks for subscribing!

Now THATS funny!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying these classic serials!

'The Great Alaskan Mystery', 1944.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK! LOL

We will refund time spent watching chapter ten as per request

@@IAmJimRetzer A local theater here in Denton, TX, used to offer a 'Ticket-Back Guarantee'. If you did not like the movie, express your displeasure to The Manager and you get a refund. When the town got beyond a certain size (I suppose that is the reason), that practice came to a quiet end.

It is estimated that there is about 10 trillion dollars worth of gold currently possessed by the people of the world. Increasing that by a couple per cent wouldn't make much difference in its price, but is still a lot of money. However, even if you're selling enough to lower its price, the critical factor is that you can produce gold at a lower price than you are selling it at. If you accept the movie's premise, the Nazis have no reason to stop selling gold until it costs less than their cost of extracting it. As the price dropped, it would have the additional effect of undermining the economies of their enemies.

He is in a few of these serials and I have seen him as the villain a few times in older (older than Gunsmoke) westerns. This is the first time that I have seen him with top billing. Usually he is about 3rd billing in these serials. Also, never had the moustache, apparently, until tv.

I think Miburn Stone was in some circus movie also.

I thought so, too. There are several passages that are from that score, thanks to the genius of the great Hans Salter. Universal controlled (I suppose) the use of the music that composers wrote, so they could 'lift' and use them in other settings. But nothing was 'lifted' and forever identified with one masked man, as was Rossini's William Tell Overture.

@@MzuMzu-nx1em That stands for 'Negroes Are Always Causing Problems'.

@Lee Larson just kidding about the nostalgia and noticing that the black and white movies are relaxing. Sorry I am European, I am not aware of slang

No, the real star is Jan Wiley, about whom I have had many a lecherous daydream.

Bet on commercial tvs and radios were based on tube technology

As someone who worked in the Navy on systems that had tubes, and the replacements that had transistors and then solid state circuits, this was mostly a case of "evolution". Tubes were big, got hot (which affected their performance), and military uses required better and better accuracy. Even transistors had to have a stable (reasonably cool) environment or their operations would be seriously affected. As an example: the 1st military airborne radar systems that I worked on were either as big as a large wine cask, if the receiver and transmitter were one unit, or as big as 2 beer kegs if the units were separate. The transistor generation saw the 2 beer kegs housed in 1 unit as big as a large tv set. And every other electronic unit in an aircraft got smaller and lighter and less temperature sensitive.

They are suppsed to be the Dead End Kids

The idea is that the "N"'s were always double crossing each other, as Americans can related to that. Earlier one of the "N"'s overheard the two planning to abandon the rest of them, but he knew their escape plan and who to call, so he called the person who was responsible for the plane, told him 2 "traitors" were escaping, and to implement plan (insert fancy codename) under the authority of "the master key". The presumption is that plan was to boobytrap the plane to eliminate the "traitors".

I've got tubes like those in my Pace-Maker.

Thanks for spotting this. I'll see of I can correct it.

@@AtomicAgePictures No worries. Although other channels that have this particular serial are also missing the same chapter.

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately this is the best source available.

In a little bit

The theme from Saboteur was also used in Secret Agent X-9.

@@AtomicAgePictures Which 'X-9' serial, as there were two different ones?

@@RRW1982 the 1945 version with Lloyd Bridges.

Sorry I don't have access to foreign language subtitles.

Japanese movies? They're almost as bad as the French and Italian movies from the early 1950's.

Unfortunately there is very little Japanese Anime that is in the public domain.

Yes I can!

Yup! This was his first film appearance!

If you scan the opening credits he is listed as Alfred La Rue.

He was also married and divorced 10 times.

@@leelarson107 John Ritter once said on a talk show that his dad was a famous old-time cowboy actor...Lash La Rue! I would have guessed Tex Ritter.

@@RRW1982 You're joking, right? Tex Ritter is well known as the father of John Ritter. *At least the two of them always thought so.
