      Audience Member When is a movie about "The Shadow" NOT a movie about "The Shadow?" When it's 'International Crime." This pointless 1938 entry features Lamont Cranston WRITING as "The Shadow" for a newspaper, all the while trying to solve crime - and drive the local cops nuts in the process. Not an overly bad flick, so much as a wasted opportunity. The closest one gets to seeing anything resembling the ghostly crimefighter is a drawings on the wall and in the newspaper column itself. Why they made this? Not even 'The Shadow' knows . . . Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Witty and clever movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What I like about this movie was the main character's radio show and how he would make fun of the police, it was funny, but the rest of the movie isn't that interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Rod La Rocque has great charisma, but unfortunately he is not "The Shadow." If the movie was an ordinary who-done-it, it would likely be better accepted. However, as it stands it is a weak Thin Man wannabe. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Weird piecemeal effort at adapting the Shadow where the hero is a radio host who investigates crimes. A good novelty for Shadow fans, I guess. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than the Shadow Strikes, but so is eating a dead earwig. Conveluted and goofy, it tries to capaptilize on the radio show with the addition of a ditzy Margo Lane charecter, but this still ain't the real deal. You want me to believe you're the Shadow? Hypnotize a thug and shoot some mobsters or something. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
