Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941)
The best chapter-play serial ever made
I saw this serial for the first time in 1954 under the name of The Return of Captain Marvel. In Spanish, the title was "Capitán Maravilla, el Poderoso". I´ve seen it today as a middle-aged person and I´ve enjoyed it the same. My kids and friends who have seen it, think that the special effects are "amazing" considering that it is was made in 1941.
Drums of Fu Manchu (1940)
One of the Three Best Serials ever made
As I said, Drums of Fu Manchu is, in my opinion, one of the three best Serials ever made.
I always wonder,why Republic never filmed the second part. Some experts told me it was because of the WW-II were the Chinese were America's allied and Fu was the king of villains.
They made The Adventures of Captain Marvel in 1941. In 1953 they Re-released the same film under the name of The Return of Captain Marvel
