Description:
Features "The Shadow Strikes" (1937, 62 min) starring Rod LaRocque and "International Crime" (1937, 87 min) starring Rod LaRocque and Astrid Allwyn.
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
Whether or not you prefer The Shadow of radio or the pulps, this is not the invisible crimefighter or the black-clad crime-buster. Rod La Rocque plays a more mild-mannered, Clark Kent-style of alter ego to The Shadow. The Shadow (in disguise) only makes two brief appearances in the first film, THE SHADOW STRIKES (1937).
INTERNATIONAL CRIME (1938) is better than the first. Rod reprises his role as Lamont Cranston, only this time he is both a radio announcer and a one-man detective agency. Astrid ... Read More

As others have stated the two films do not much follow the "Pulp" magazine story line. However the two films are pretty keen movies along the line of The Thin Man, Mr. Wong, Charlie Chan...etc. So if you like those you will like these. Any avid collector of Shadow memorabilia should have these historic films. Grand National Pictures was bought by Astor Pictures in NYC... they went broke and the original prints were actually thrown into the East River by the company warehousing them... for non-payment of ...

SHADOW STRIKES (1937) - ** stars. A millionaire is murdered and relatives and an underworld goon or two circle in for the spoils. In this one the Shadow is a lawyer/amateur criminologist, appears in a strange cape/hat/cowl outfit in the denouement scene and has his shadow thrown provocatively against a couple of walls, but that's about it.
INTERNATIONAL CRIME (1938) - *** stars. A wealthy businessman is the murder victim in this one. Lamont Cranston (the Shadow) is an amateur criminologist/newspaper ... Read More

These are okay detective movies, but it's really not The Shadow.
Lamont Cranston has been turned into Lamont Granston and he's an ordinary joe who's a crime reporter. That's as exciting as it gets. There's nothing in these movies that has anything to do with The Shadow so you've been warned.
You might want to save your money since these two "Shadow" movies aren't what they claim to be. The Shadow serial and the Alec Baldwin movie are the way to go for fans of The Shadow. The Invisible Avenger isn't ... Read More

It looks as if Marengo Films rescued these two old movies from obscurity. I was thrilled to see they were on DVD and was not disappointed. Grand National Pictures was bought by another film company after putting these two marvelous films out. That answers why there are no other films which followed. These movies are fun to watch and are similar to such greats as Mr.Wong, Charlie Chan, Dick Tracy and the Thin Man... Oh, how things have changed in acting and style... though Hollywood did honor the style I think ... Read More
