"The King of Serials...VCI Entertainment ~ The Whispering Sh
J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 12/04/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"VCI Entertainment and Mascot Pictures present...."The Whispering Shadow" (1933) (Dolby digitally remastered), a 12 chapter cliffhanger from a suspenseful early sound Mascot serial era featuring an outstanding cast with directors Albert Herman and Colbert Clark at the helm....story line keeps you guessing as to who the mysterious criminal known as "The Whispering Shadow" is and when will he strike again...is this villain way ahead of the times with radio rays and television that controls his henchman...what does the wax museum and Professor Strang (Bela Lugosi) have to do with the murder of Jack Norton's (Malcolm McGregor) brother (George J. Lewis)...are there jewels within the plot and are they hidden in the transport warehouse, who will discover them first...we have several suspects that may be "The Whispering Shadow", is it Professor Strange (Lugosi), Alexia Steinbeck (Roy D'Arcy), Mr. Jerome (Lafe McKee) or Jasper Slade (Bob Kortman), or could it be someone you've never suspected...don't leave the theater until the final chapter is over and done with "King of the World"....just remember double thrills, chills, mystery and suspense...hitting the bull's eye with excitement...don't miss a single spine thrilling episode..return next week to this local theater for another episode of action and adventure that will keep you thrilled until the next chapter

Under director's Albert Herman & Colbert Clark, producer Nat Levine, supervising editor Wyndham Gittens, original screenplay by Barney Sarecky, George Morgan, Norman Hall, Colbert Clark and Wyndham Gittens, musical score by Lee Zahler, stunts by Yakima Canutt, Eddie Parker and George Magrill (stunt double for Bela Lugosi)...the cast includes Bela Lugosi (Prof. Anton Strang), Viva Tattersall (Vera Strang), Robert Warwick (Det. Robert Raymond), Roy D'Arcy (Prof. Alexis Steinbeck), Karl Dane (Sparks-dispatcher), Malcolm MeGregor (Jack Foster), George J. Lewis (Bud Foster), Lafe McKee (Mr. Jerome-company vice president), Tom London (Dupont-henchman), Yakima Canutt (Detective), Bob Kortman (Jasper Slade-escaped convict), Henry B. Walthall (J.D. Bradley-company president).....special footnote, this was actor Bela Lugosi's first serial and he handled it like the professional he was, all serial-buffs and Bela Lugosi fans should find this very rewarding and entertaining, Lugosi gained fame when he played "Count Dracula" in the legendary 1927 Broadway stage adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, continued for three years, and was subsequently, and memorably, filmed by Tod Browning in 1931, establishing Lugosi as one of the screen's greatest personifications of pure evil.....meanwhile back to our Mascot Serial which is always good till the last drop and this serial is no exception...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there...all courtesy of VCI Entertainment, who in my humble opinion is the best there is in restoring early serials and features.

The sinister Professor Strang--Bela Lugosi no less
Neal C. Reynolds | Indianapolis, Indiana | 07/11/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Actually the good (or is he good?) professor is the focal point of this serial. Basic plot line has the young hero tracking down his brother's murderer who is known as the whispering shadow; and it sure as heck looks like Professor Strang is one and the same. One little difficulty, our hero falls in love with the professor's daughter while he's trying to prove that her dad is a criminal mastermind. I don't think I'm spoiling the plot for anybody if I suggest that maybe Bela isn't the bad guy after all, although he does a darn good job of trying to convince us he is! The other review here complains about the long flashbacks. Don't forget, this is a 13 chapter serial which was originally shown one chapter a week over a three month period, so the flashbacks are obviously necessary. And no, they should not be edited out for today's audiences...we serial fans want them exactly as they were. btw, I do suggest viewing this serial a chapter a day, or at least no more than three chapters a day. That way, you will get more out of it with less feeling of repetition."
Bela's First Serial...
Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein | under the rubble | 07/03/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Bela Lugosi is Professor Strang, magician and owner / operator of Strang's Wax Works And House Of Mystery. Is he also the notorious Whispering Shadow? A thief has hidden the czar's crown jewels somewhere in the warehouse of the Empire Storage Company. Everyone is after them! Empire's top employee, Foster, watched his younger brother murdered at the hands of the Shadow and his gang of thugs. He now seeks revenge and will stop at nothing to put an end to the sinister criminal. Keep your eye on the jewels! They jump from person to person, box to box, like a crazy shell game! Who will end up with them? You won't find out in these first six chapters, but the fun never stops! Enough shootouts, explosions, truck hijacks, and fisticuffs to keep you biting those nails! Be sure to get vol. 2..."
