I downloaded this from the Internet Archive:Feature Films collection, expecting a pretty bad movie, but was pleasantly surprised. No major bloopers that I noticed, a semi-believable plot, lots of fun twists and turns, and reasonable acting. It packed a lot into its 60 minutes, and Karloff was excellent. And the final 45 seconds provided a bit of unintended humour (as seen through 21st century eyes, at least) with its little homily on war.
O! the eschewing of prolixity, a lost art. For some reason I am required to be more long- winded in my comment than I initially intended. This padding will undoubtedly serve to prevent my comment from seeing the light of day, but know this: For every short and short- lived comment callously destroyed by the forces of prolixity, three more shall rise in its place! We shall never give in!
C'mon guys, what's the point of requiring 10 lines, when I only have 7 lines of commentary to make? Reminds me of the old days of Usenet, when people had to pad postings to get them to pass muster. You usually end up optimizing for something unintended when you enforce artificial rules like this one.
