Audience Member Terrific action-adventure serial! The inspiration for 'The Rocketeer'. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A Republic Films serial from the 1940's, featuring the legendary Ted Adams (who?) and the lovely Mae Clarke (again, who?). Let's face it, <i>King of the Rocket Men</i> was never intended to win an Oscar. It's an old fashioned cliff-hanger meant to keep the kids coming back to the theater for the weekly Saturday matinee. A slice of nostalgia for those old enough to remember the era and a fun little time capsule for the rest of us. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
