What led me to this movie was Boris Karloff's involvement, and I have to admit that I really had no idea about its place in John Ford's cinematic canon nor what to expect from it. Karloff, of course, was a hot property with his recent triumvirate of terror - Frankenstein's creature, the butler in "The Old Dark House" and The Mummy - and had just been over to England to film "The Ghoul".

RKO Radio Pictures presents "THE LOST PATROL" (16 February 1934) (72 mins/B&W) (Dolby Digital) --- A tale from the Great War with John Ford at the helm --- Wonderful cast headed by Victor Mclaglen who in my opinion carries much of the film --- Boris Karloff, Wallace Ford and Reginald Denny give a tight performances --- The film copy is good with a few light flaws in the picture midway through the film --- As usual Max Steiner strikes up another powerful score that keeps the adrenaline pumping.

Essential movie for a Karloff collector, especially this authentic region 1 edition. These classic movies and many other classics, like most of the universal horror movies from 1930-1950, are not available in Europe. So thanks to Amazon for the opportunities to obtain these items. And shipment from the US to Europe takes place in less than a week; ordered on a Monday, reveived in good order on Thursday in the same week!

The Bottom Line:
A simple and effective film, The Lost Patrol tells the story of a group of isolated soldiers being picked off one by one, and tells it well; the limitations of 1930s movie-making are often revealed, but the film is short and reasoanbly engaging.
