     The Shadow Strikes
1937  NR  DRAMA  1h 1min
CAST— Rod La Rocque
MUSIC— Unknown  DIRECTOR— Lynn Shores  BASED ON— Characters appearing on The Shadow (radio)

     Super quickie mystery that produces more yawns than thrills. After the Shadow foils a robbery at an attorney’s office he, as his alter ego Lamont Granston (Cranston), leads the police to believe that he’s the attorney. Now a pseudo-lawyer he is called upon to draw up a will for a wealthy gentleman. When the man is murdered Granston is drawn into the case. Using various outdated sleuthing methods (none of which involve donning the guise of the Shadow) he and his driver/sidekick get the job done. Nothing groundbreaking here.
OUR RATING— * ½
FOLLOWED BY— International Crime (1938)
