A serial from the 30s!!
THE VANISHING SHADOW SERIAL(1934)
The short of it, a man who's invented an
invisibility device thinks that he's killed
a man who was trying to kill him! To get
the goods on the man he becomes - wait for
it - The Vanishing Shadow!!
This one's a little different than most
serials in that you know who the good
guys and the bad guys are right off the
bat!!
The transfer on this is excellent!! A
From IMDb.com:
This is a little known and under rated serial.
It is a fun semi-mystery with all the proper
cliche's included. Most anyone will find some
fun,in the traditional chases and period genre.
I enjoyed this very early bit of SF with
invisibility belts and a robot of unique
design. Remember this came first. Theres
plenty of period auto and trains to keep
the action going. Some of the acting
(perhaps its the script) is limited, but
as a Universal serial it is far superior
to most Universal efforts at that time.
I recommend this to anyone who can find
a copy. - KEN-182
