The restoration of these old films is of an historical value for us. To be able to watch them & save them is a great honor. Thank you for sharing these films with us.
Watched this 70 years ago in 15 minute segments on afternoon television. At one time or another I thought Strang, Steinbeck and the Detective were at one time or another the "Whispering Shadow".
How many times did bela get knocked out?? I love it when he scolds his daughter. Love his tall, delicious frame. He always looks great in a suit especially in a tux!! Lugosi had a nice body well into his 50s with nice long legs that looked wonderful in evening wear. This serial was unbelievable...fantastic and good. Love Bela!!
This is a bit shorter than some serials. I saw one with Bela and the Dead End Kids. It was screened in about 8 hours with short breaks and, as I recall, some short subjects between episodes.
I love the computer-generated captions... a couple of examples from Chapter 11: @ 3:27:58 My mission is comfy ! [= accomplished] @ 3:28:30 Come quick Raymond! Get the shuttle ! [= I've got The Shadow]
Oh this was good....Karl Dane oh He seemedso nice Was in "Son of Sheik" w Rudy Valentino...great..in that as Rudy' s servant ..and friend..i think real friends in real life....think i read something sad about Him..later on His wife & baby passing away....not sure ....hope NOT ..😢
Yes! His "valet" . . . and "friend"! My father was Edward Everett Horton's "valet" in the late twenties, at the time of "The Hottentot" shoot. 'Got the real low-down all about then. Practically everything was NOT 'as it seemed'. Not all but most. I know all about "valets"! and "friends" from those earlier Hollywood days.
