I was raised on these good old murder mysteries,PLEASE keep showing them......☺
As a child I listened to these shows on the radio coming home from Grandma's. I appreciate you showing them here, they are so enjoyable. Thank you.
When we visited relatives in Chicago we traveled by night. Radio reception was very good at night. We would listen to radio programs,the green hornet,the shadow. It was great
I love the Shadow. I remember sitting by the radio with my grandmother listening to the Shadow.
"Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men? The shadow knows! Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha!" That was the opening of the radio program I was allowed to listen to late at night (for a child!) with my mother at my side, both of us avidly following the mysterious plot and happy in the knowledge that the shadow will clear all the mystery up.

I only heard a few episodes of the radio show. I also watched the Shadow movie with Alec Baldwin. I really wish someone would make a movie based upon the early Shadow pulps starting with The Living Shadow. The Baldwin movie started out that way but then because really silly. Too bad.

Made with style and attention to detail. I notice how the continuity is better than most modern movies. Like so many others, I appreciate these old mysteries made well before our time.
There is no mystery this day and age. I love and enjoy watching a mystery. A good mystery in theaters now.
So much amusement to watch and I wonder why today's script writers couldn't even tried to make this type of film, really awesome

I must say I really like rod La roque...he does such a great job, flawless.
The 1930s, when light and shadow became a very high art form. Physically and Spiritually
The shadow knows. On the radio when I was a kid. No tv at that time.

It was: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! He, he, he, he" And that was radio, enough to curdle my blood as a child, when my mother allowed me to listen if I was washed and already in bed. She would listen with me, all agog.
I've never seen a screen Shadow, whether in a serial or a feature film, that was as much fun as the pulp-fiction version of him or the radio shows.
Grand National Studios was founded in 1936, and closed down in 1939. James Cagney produced a couple of films there, but he was the only 'big' name that the studio could attract. After GN shut down, Cagney 'buried the hatchet' with Jack Warner, and returned to Warner Brothers to make some memorable films.
Thanks so much for these comforting films,I never bother with modern films❣️
Listened to THE SHADOW on radio, before TV.
Thank U 4 the movies. Wholesome Family entertainment. No sleazyness of, sex & drugs.

Saturday night bath, no showers. Lots of cologne/after shave/perfume. Vitalis or Brylcream in hair rarely shampooed. Everyone had cigarette breath. Most men had one suit they wore every day. Did dry cleaners exist? But necktie and hat at all times. Best thing-- only one the Bowery Boys wore a baseball cap backwards, and that was so you could tell he was the comical "dumb" one. I guess that's still the practice.

@@hewitc They still sell Brylcream. I actually bought a tube of it recently because I wanted to have the nostalgic smell available to me. Most products only get greasy if you use too much. It will always remind me of various men that I knew growing up. Same with Old Spice. I worked with a guy that smelled so good all the time. And yes, I would tell him he smelled so good. You know, back in the day when you could just be honest with people, and few were offended… although I still think people have every right to be offended as their personal default stance on everything, and the rest of us have every right not to care. I would always say “Oh, Sweet (his name), you smell so good! What’s that wild scent you’re wearing? I love it! You *must* tell me!”! And I would try to get him to tell me what it was, and of course we know that everybody’s personal chemistry affects a fragrance to some degree, where it might smell differently on someone else. And one day he finally told me, (and I’m hoping I didn’t promise not to tell anyone… Certainly I’m not telling anyone that we know in our periphery, but I don’t think I promised never to tell anyone, because I promise really is a promise, no matter how small). It was a combination that he made of Old Spice and… I think the other main one was Aqua Velva… and there might’ve been a touch of something else, too. Whatever it was, it was divine. It was wonderful, it was masculine, One day, I think he dropped a glove or a scarf as he was passing from one work area to another. I came across it and try to figure out what it was. Of course this was all done in an open, lighthearted, cheerful, not creepy way. Anyone in the room would hear it also. I wasn’t cornering him and trying to put moves on him, it was quite clear that there were no advances being made. And he was generally a more quiet, older guy, and did not seem to mind at all. I think he liked positive feedback. And because he had a position that was sometimes vexing, he was known to sometimes be cross, or have quick, short outburst that blew over immediately. But I always called him Sweet (his name),, because I knew deep down he was sweet, and he was just frustrated with situations that would arise, and rightly so. Smell is one of our strongest memory senses… 📦 Funny that people believe it when they are told they live in a three dimensional world. I always found that to be odd, when the most priceless things in life exist outside the three-dimensional world. They have no physical height, depth, or breadth to them at all. Love, honor, trust, fragrance, flavor, beauty… and there are some further critical things which people won’t even acknowledge exist, because they are still waiting for scientific “proof“. They need their masters to tell them it’s OK, to announce “roof”. They fancy themselves to be wise, but they have become fools. We have endless senses and flavors as well… balance, kinesthesia, proprioception, love, honor, trust, the “6th sense“ which is really our first sense…senses are endless; buttery, chocolatey, smoky, nutty, rancid…tastes are also endless. And the three-dimensional world is always illustrated by showing a box. 📦 The box where they keep people’s minds… which is also interesting because their mind itself is not a physical thing, they’ve been taught that their brain houses their mind win any part of your body can store a memory, but the mind itself it’s not a physical thing, proving once again that the non-physical is the more real and lasting reality than the physical… They keep people’s mind in a box by convincing them they are wise to do so, and “only believe what they can see“ or prove. They appeal to ego, pride, fear of being thought foolish, to turn people into fools. Tell them that the smartest people deny their own senses. Most of what I just wrote, love, honor, flavor or fragrance, etc. cannot be proven by science. The most they can do is prove the presence of chemicals that are generally agreed-upon….by people using their own senses… to produce a flavor or a fragrance. They certainly cannot “prove” the most priceless things like love ❤ , beauty 🌸🌷, trust (see? No emotion, one can’t depict it), happiness😊, they can’t prove what somebody is perceiving, but they have convinced countless people that they shouldn’t believe in things which they cannot prove scientifically, and they should ignore what they themselves can in fact perceive, set up of all, they should not attempt to perceive certain things lest they be ridiculed by their mental masters, and others who have been misled and deceived. You can’t “prove“ the fragrance of a rose if someone refuses to come anywhere near a rose and smell it. And so is the atheist. Refuses to even insincerely, let alone sincerely attempt to get anywhere near a rose, let alone smell it. They are high stakes gamblers with absolutely nothing to gain, and everything to lose. 👧👦💭🤔🌱 Guess they’ve never pondered what every small child easily observes…the fact that nothing that grows from the ground is inherent in the dirt, air, sunlight, water, or the seed itself. That’s because the seed is a portal with a key and instructions to another dimension within this realm. Food does not come from our gardens or our farms. What nonsense. Scientism says that food comes from dirt, sunbeams, gentle breezes, and little drops of rain, combined with what amounts to precious little plant matter? A seed is not a concentrated flavor, texture, and fragrance packet. Grind up that seed, destroy the portal, and its instructions and key, take the dirt, sunbeams, gentle breezes and little drops of rain, and they will never, ever get anything but a mud pie. And they tell the world to click their heels together three times and say “photosynthesis, photosynthesis, photosynthesis“, and then magically, color, fragrance, texture, fragrance, and absolute sheer mass of a plant will appear out of their 3-dimensional world… Everything from a little sprout, to a little garden pea, to a carrot, a watermelon, a rose shrub…with roses blooming upon it…to an oak tree, or a giant sequoia. WE ARE BACK THE THE BOX 📦 To believe what they are preaching, one would have to ignore that these things do not exist in a three dimensional world. There is no height, depth, or breadth to them. And they certainly don’t fit in a box..of any size. Because they aren’t material. And that proves we don’t live in a solely material world. So simple, a child understands perfectly until they are programmed not to. 🌪 🌪 🌪 That’s like not believing in tornadoes because you can’t “see” the wind. The wind at all, we’ll see what it blows around. Like a “big bang”, like the Emperor’s New Clothes, their believers believe that nothing can create something. They are the Emperor in the story. They wear their nothingness with pride, as if it were actually something. They are proud of it. If one were to call them “Emperor“, they would be flattered, much like the one in the story. And they would likely be foolish enough to use that story to ignore their folly, and try to promote atheism, and they would be missing the whole point all the way around, on many levels. No mount of dirt is missing, to accounts for the mass that springs forth from it. The mass doesn’t come from the dirt, nor the air, sunlight, or water. There may be some trace minerals and moisture content, but that certainly cannot explain away the rest of it, that which differentiates it from a mud pie. 🌳 🌲 One can’t mix those raw ingredients and make something that one can cut down, build a house out of it, and furniture, and a fire, and still have chips to smoke your dinner on the grill. And they’ll just repeat the word “photosynthesis“ which still doesn’t account for it. No. It comes from an additional dimension which is part of this realm. (Same place where there are broadcast waves, “aliens and code/demons, angels, even the aircraft that can materialize and dematerialize uses interdimensional “travel”. These things don’t come from “outer space”. They come from inner space. NASA exists to lie to you. Do your homework and you’ll see this is true. Wernher Von Braun, rocket scientist, present it operations high jump, fishbowl, and Roswell… He chose his own headstone before death, one thing to tell the world when he was dead and it was safe to do so. Psalm 19:1. He didn’t refer to the whole Psalm, so that his finger would be very specifically pointing to one thing. And that would connect to truth, truth he came to by us work.) One doesn’t even have to leave the sofa or do an Internet search, we don’t need the input from others. It’s all right there in our observational abilities. And these people who are waiting for “proof” of God…when his hand literally weaves things into existence, 24/7, nonstop, literally and figuratively right under their noses, all day and all night….they have clearly put their faith in the wrong thing. And made liars their masters.

Does anyone remember Columbia Pictures' 1940 15-part serial "The Shadow"? It starred Victor Jory and Veda Ann Borg. Each episode was 19 minutes long, and ended in a cliffhanger moment. They were shown one episode at a time in theaters, probably in between the main feature and "B" feature and newsreel, so that kids would return the next week for the next installment (chapter). I bought the boxed videotapes, all 15 chapters, about twenty-five years ago.

I had a brother who was a jokester, he would scare the he double hockey sticks out of us! It got to the point we waited anxiously for whatever he was going to do to scare us. Good memories--

Thanks for showing this little gem. This was the only Whistler film I have never seen. I understand it was Richard Dix's last film in this series. He had to leave due to poor health.
I am always using the quote *the shadow knows "
This was fun! I have listened to The Shadow on radio, but this is the first time I see him on the screen. By the way, if I am not mistaken the man who ran and now his son does, the postcard shows that I go to in Southern California is related to Rod LaRocque, but the spelling of the last name is Le Rocque. I'll have to investigate more. Any who, I'll see what other Shadow movies you have. I like the high tech listening system they set up at the opened window! Boy, have we come far!

Keep in mind, Michael, that 1937 was a World in Turmoil and terrible economic times. While the World was just getting over the Great Depression, Hitler was about to take over much of Europe by invading Poland (Sept. 1939) and then Pearl Harbor and the Blitzkrieg of London. It was during this period that Hollywood began adding more and more Comedy Relief to lighten and easy tensions in America and England (such as "Hendricks" or "Henry" the chauffer).

I don't think that people realize these old films glamorize the time they depicted . It's entertainment portraying the rich, or well to do . The middle class at this time was struggling just as hard as the poor . In fact the middle class was poor at this juncture in history . People managed to make it through .

I like the actor playing Randall/The Shadow a lot. He has a very natural way of speaking. La Rocque is his name?
we had a tv screen was either 11 or 13 inches n I was born in 43 so around the very early 50ies I only heard the shadow over the radio hosted by Mr.Orson Wells n I was never aware of the fact that the shadow was on tv but then again we only got 3 channels n one or two didn't come in too often so therefore I assumed that the movie by Alix Baldwin was a first ??

This was an era when the country was fighting to get out of a depression, not trying to get into one. Did they quit teaching about the depression in schools, because it was too depressing for the little children. We should.have learned from that first one

This is a poor imitation of the radio shows of The SHADOW, as well as the intelligence and masterful way The SHADOW appeared or lack thereof. Orson Wells was the best of them all, how he spoke, and made an impressive character and reputation. I'm sure that just as they were able to make the Invisible Man the creator's of this film could have done the same with this film.

I find myself watching the old movies, listening to old time radio, because a set of values seemed to be represented; I find current TV shows are either too grim or too PC. The Hayes office went too far in censorship, pre 1934 film pre code still maintained a level of decency that has evaporated from the Hollywood drama of today, kid's films seem better than ever but the adult drama is so laced with profanity, violence and sexual narrative alien to the real world and inappropriate.

radio show was 23 minutes long (usually) when you added the intro and ads. you had to be on your game with the script. movies 90 minutes so they had to pad everything and it meant a very slow movie. but then I loved the radio shows.
I mostly love these movies but this is very confusing. It jumps all over the place and the cast is hard to keep straight. And who killed the first man?
