Die gemeen Shadow (1933)

Gedurende die Goue Era van Radio, die Shadow was 'n kruistog misdaad vegter vernoem Lamont Cranston. In hierdie 1933 Engels film vervaardig deur Real Arts Productions, die Shadow is 'n gemeen moordenaar en afperser. Die film open met die Shadow om betaling van 'n bekende prokureur.

Die Shadow beloof om die prokureur wat nie kan betaal nie bloot te stel. Facing exposure and possible jail time, the lawyer reports the blackmail to Scotland Yard before taking his own life. One of Scotland Yard’s best detectives traps the Shadow but is killed during the struggle. After the death of a fellow police officer, Scotland Yard is more determined than ever to catch the mysterious figure.

Strangely, the pursuit leads to country home of Sir Richard Bryant, the police commissioner. Besides two stranded motorists, an author and his daughter, Sir Richard will give shelter to several of his policemen.

Detective Chief Inspector Fleming believes that he knows the identity of the Shadow. Fleming must catch the killer before he claims any more victims. Knowing that Fleming is close, the Shadow decides that Fleming will be his next victim.

Hoeveel speurders sal sterf voor die Shadow is vasgevang?

I would categorize hierdie film (Koste skakel) as more of a “B” film, maar 'n lekker een. Die film loop ongeveer 70 minute.
