| "THAT IS A LOVELY TIE, BY THE WAY." I came across
The Shadow on TV late at night recently and I just had to watch it
again. I realize it's not the kind of movie one should want
to watch more than once. I realize it could even be reasonably
described as a bad movie. But somehow, I have a soft spot
for it, even with its many flaws. Multiple clumsy dream sequences?
Check. Slangily anachronistic dialogue? Check. Villain
who kills his own henchmen and speaks in total seriousness of "ruling
the world"? Check. Brassy fast-talkin' dame? Check. Cigarette-smoking billboard? Yer damn skippy. Indefensible, I know. Maybe I'm just a sucker for anything involving fedoras. |
