This Film went beyond my expectations and turned out to be a classic winner! Well done Cast of Characters as well as a Solid Story-line well written, Directed, and exceptional Actors realistically portraying their parts. What a Hoot Daddy-O! 😅 Part of the CBS Radio Series; The Shadow
the shadow is always one of my top favorites. of all time AND. GOOD. ALWAY"S PREVAILED. OVER. EVIL and the actor that played The Shadow in this particular movie and his mental sidekick they both did a helluva job in this movie I enjoyed it so thanks for uploading it
He wasn't invisible in the pulp magazines, only radio. Invisibility was added on radio because it was difficult to describe the Shadows ability to blend in.
Richard Widmarks', first picture. Loved it, when he pushed the crippled lady, down the steps in the wheelchair😅!!! Know who else liked that scene?? Dennis Christoffer. Watch "FADE TO BLACK", and you'll see what I mean. Very interesting, film🎞️!!!!

She was blacklisted for her political views, and Howe was "graylisted", which may explain his working on many low-budget films despite his prodigious achievements in the industry.
@@vestibulate Sounds like a unlawful trick, Christian Republicans pulled off, back then. All that blacklisted garbage, would send those accusers to prison today, with large fines to pay off😁!!!! Not to mention, civil lawsuit's, heh-heh.
This Shadow is a lot better than the Rod Laroque character because he really could become a shadow instead of just lurking around at night wearing a wide brimmed hat and a cloak.
Ya see, that's the attitude I'm totally against🤨!!! That's what confused me, with my recollection of The Shadow. This one kinda sucks, and that's 'cause of the gay-ass, superhero power's. That RUINS IT ALL🙄!!!!
Thought transmissions, and receiving?? Whaaa🤔??? NOT, in any 'The Shadow' short stories that, I know of. None of that, is ever mentioned. When I was a kid, I had 'The Shadow' series on LPs, and not once was this brought up. Turning invisible?? INVISIBLE?? Whaaa🤨??? This isn't, 'The Invisible Man'. Wait, is there a difference between, the 1940's Shadow, and this one (1958)? It's either, this is how it is, or I totally don't recall (as it's been approx, 50 years, since I listened to those records). Lamont Cranston, was just like Bruce Wayne, a rich ordinary man, who fought crime. And without any dumb-ass, special, superhero power's🙄!!! What I mean, who needs that special powers, crude crap anyways?? Superheroes are for children (or adults who haven't grown up, yet🤭), of which everyday life, ain't exciting enough for them. Yes, those kids😏, heh-heh. What Americans need today, is a supervillain to exact equality, since our so-called superheroes, are screwing us over, left and right. @35:20.

It essentially clogs the comment space with unnecessary stuff. I have seen the uploader of the actual video do this, why I don't know because they are already getting alerted to comments.

Crikey, it was a bit rough. So much background noise. Very thin production. Still, I suppose it was very early days for this type of movie, and they did it on a shoestring:) Thanks for the experience:D
Lamont Cranston was the Shadow's favorite disguise (of course I'm still talking about the pulp magazine). From Wiki .... The Shadow Alter ego Kent Allard (print) Lamont Cranston (radio, film and television) Notable aliases Lamont Cranston (print) Henry Arnaud (print) Isaac Twambley (print) Fritz the Janitor (print) I get the impression you haven't read the pulps. I once found them in text form by using a Google search. I like the pulps better than the radio show.
@@jjennings6161 Here, read this... Who The Shadow is another matter people are unclear on. If they are familiar with the later radio show, they think he’s millionaire Lamont Cranston. But we who read the pulps know that’s not the case. In the second pulp story, he appears as Lamont Cranston. Then in the third story, Lamont Cranston returns from traveling abroad and is confronted by himself! It appears that The Shadow had been using Cranston’s identity to move within high society, and they come to an understanding. The real Cranston will travel abroad, allowing The Shadow to use his identity. This works out fine, until six years later Cranston is injured and The Shadow is forced to bring back his real identity, WWI aviator and spy Kent Allard. Which, to me, explains The Shadow as spymaster. Cranston would even occasionally show up and help out The Shadow. (Some feel that the later Bruce Elliot stories were really Cranston being a detective while The Shadow is elsewhere - works for me!) You should learn more about a topic before posting. I know what I'm talking about, you don't !!!!!! thepulp.net/pulpsuperfan/2014/06/09/a-look-at-the-shadow/
A very interesting movie I always liked the Shadow stories, I wish a new Shadow movie will be made in the same style that the Alec Baldwin had with the period vehicles and time in the 30's with the same type of humor and special effects, maybe even a series can be made with arch villain's threating our world.
This was real crap. Where was the cape? The mask? The wide-brimmed hat? If you're gonna do an iconic character like the Shadow, stick to the original concept or don't do it at all!
The Shadow is a character from the 30s and 40s ... and setting it in the 50s like here is too much modernising IMO. The "magic effects" are great BUT the lack of the classic costume AND the "bemused" instead of "threatening" shadow voice give an overall negative impression and the plot involves far too many indirect threats (the "dictator" and "revolution" dont really concern the hero and just serve the purpose of "big threatening atmosphere".
I haven't watched it yet as I type this, so I can't speak on the subject of this film's quality, but I wholeheartedly agree with you on the subject of the lack of the classic Shadow costume in this film. Some might argue that the Shadow never wore his costume on the radio program as it would be pointless because he's always invisible to his enemies, but in *EVERY* one of the vintage print ads promoting the radio program, the Shadow is illustrated in his famous wide brim hat, cloak, cape, & scarf (or at the very least he'd have his face tucked into his shirt collar from the nose down), so that is how they wanted you to visualize the Shadow in the program. It's an interesting take to just have him turn invisible without any sort of outfit, but it's not a particularly welcomed one.
Didn't care for this version of the shadow. I prefer the 40's version much better. This one was more noir than the Shadow is supposed to be imho. Feels like a bad mix of noir & sci-fi.
