Trivia:

The movie Shadow character is a combination of the radio show and the pulp magazine versions. The elements from the radio show are his ability to be become invisible, the appearance of Margo Lane and the establishment of Lamont Cranston as the Shadow's actual civilian identity. The pulp magazine elements include his costume, his network of agents at his disposal and his twin automatic pistols.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: At the start of the fight on the balcony, when the Shadow lifts one of Khan's men by his helmet, you can see the wires pulling the guy off his feet.

Quotes:

Moe Shrevnitz: [puts a ring from the Shadow on Tam's finger] Don't ever take it off.
Dr. Roy Tam: [confused] Who *are* you?
Moe Shrevnitz: [holds up his hand with an identical ring on it] Somebody who owes him their life... somebody just like *you*.

REMEMBER

just a great movie

The movie its self is great, but whats even more importent is to remember that they actully have gotten some of that good ol' feeling from the radio show and so on that was on the radio in the early first part of the 1900..

Baldwin does one of the best caracters / roles that he ever have done, whit an glamures look and a wonderfull teste for the dramatic. - This is what i would call Baldwins best and biggest movie in is more serius caracter.

- End of story

friendly regards
