THE SHADOW - STRIKES(1937)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
In this one, Lamont is apparently unknown by the
police at the start of this!! He gets involved
with them when he interupts a buglary, and he
calls the police for help. He then poses as
the owner of the place being burgled, and the
captain insists on hanging with him! After
parting ways, Lamont ends up at the house of
a certain Mr. Delthern who asks for the help
of the lawyer that Granston(not Cranston!!!)
is posing as, and said Mr. Delthern gets promptly
killed!! This puts The Shadow in a postition
of finding the murderer and keeping the cops
out of his hair!! A+
A review from IMDb.com:
The story, "The Shadow Strikes" is based on "The
Ghost of the Manor" by Walter B. Gibson. The film
is not all that bad but not as good as I was hoping
or expecting it to be. Still worth watching if you
like crime mysteries in general or the old radio show.
Lamont Granston aka The Shadow is on a murder case.
There is a robbery attempt Granston is on the scene
but when a murder is involved Granston assumes the
identity of a lawyer in order to crack the case wide
open. Granston is found out but that does not stop
him from becoming The Shadow and solve the mystery.
Not as good as the radio show but still a fun watch.
