I love movie serials. But despite the enticing name "The Clutching Hand" looks like a homemovie shot by people who don't know how to make a film move. I lasted through the first two chapters. The pacing is rotten, the inane laughter of the villain gets quite old in a hurry and the cameraman clearly doesn't know the difference between night and day, as so many scenes supposedly at night shift to broad daylight the moment the characters to to an exterior scene. The script or excuse for a script is ... Read More

Jack, Rex, and Mae have a field day, fightin', fussin', faintin'....15 approx. 30 minute episodes right here on DVD! I surmise the serial was apportioned maybe one or two per week, so to watch, say, 5 straight episodes, is a bit of a risk.
The "camp" is all here - especially in the fighting scenes - no jabs, no uppercuts - all roundhouse swings! And all you here is *feet*. These brawlers always arrive on the scene in a three-piece suit and fashionable fedora...no one leaves the fight with even ... Read More

It could just as easily have been 1 star. This is a kitsch classic. I saw it on a tiny tv when I was six or seven years old and found it riveting and scary as all get out. Now it's pure cheese and corn, with interminable phony fight scenes, unending car chases along the same roads and predictably-solved cliffhanger endings. And yet, it's so bad that it's good. It's campy, quaint fun, and for less than ten bucks a lot of entertainment (since it runs for over 5 hours). The renowned detective, Craig ... Read More

I have owned this serial for a couple of years now, and I have probably watched it no less than 30 times. Yes, I have a life, but for some reason, I can't get enough of this cliffhanger. The plot is rather complex, the subplots numerous, and the red herrings too many to count! Good direction. Jack Mulhall is well cast in the lead role. Handsome cowboy Rex Lease is excellent as a newspaper reporter who apparently never has to report to work, thereby allowing him to hang around as Jack's sidekick on ... Read More

I give this DVD 3 stars, because for $6.98 you can't expect too much.
The sound quality is very poor. A simple background noise filter would have made a huge difference, and it would have required so little effort!
The other thing that eventually gets on your nerves as you watch "The Clutching Hand" is that, apparently someone forgot to add sound effects to the fight scenes (and like most old serials, there are many of these). This really makes the scenes appear phoney, even by ... Read More
