A serial from the 30s!!!
BLAKE OF SCOTLAND YARD SERIAL(1937)
This transfer is terrible! Bad picture and
sound! And it doesn't help that it's a
British release! Another serial about an
invention that the good guys develope and
the bad guys want!
One more thing, this is LONG!!!! 5 hours!! B
From IMDb.com:
This is one of the BETTER serials that
I've seen! Unlike many others (most
notably the Republic films), there
ISN'T a fight scene (and/or a car
going over a cliff) every 10 minutes!
In fact, all the main characters act
(surprisingly) INTELLIGENT for a
change! (And, trip up the 'bad guys'
very often).
My only complaint is that, like all
the other serials, the good guys are
armed with guns, which (for some odd
reason) they NEVER USE (until the
final chapter).
Very Entertaining! - Norm-30
