Rating: - Shadow of John Wayne's Struggle to Find Stardom He Deserved
It is difficult to favorably review an old movie serial such as this. "Shadow of the Eagle" barely deserves to be cited as a work of that greatest of movie star heroes, John Wayne, yet films such as this one in fact were key elements in prepping him for stardom. This is exactly the sort of film that served as an action/adventure training ground for Duke Wayne. No, there is no outstanding art in this production. This film has cheapness written all over it. Is it entertaining? Measurably, the answer is yes. Why wouldn't we enjoy great fistfights between the likes of John Wayne, and a villain like ... Read More

Rating: - The Duke Did It First!...
"Shadow Of The Eagle"(1932)
Okay, we all love the scene in "North By Northwest" in which Cary Grant is being chased across a field by the crop duster plane. It is a nail biting, edge of your seat scene, and we want to yell, "Look out Cary, it's coming back at you!" I would never take anything away from that class act, but fans of The Duke, may remember that he did it first about 27 years earlier, in this wonderful mystery/serial. And not only was he being chased by a stunt plane, but was carrying an injured woman in his strong arms at the same time!!! That's our guy, even early on, quite ... Read More
Rating: - okay, but not as good as Marengo Films previous version
Marengo Films decided to add back in the chapter stops to this latest version of 'Shadow Of The Eagle', and honestly, I have no idea why. What was a unique move on their part by eliminating the repetitive summaries between each chapter, is now back again...adding an unnecessary 40 minutes more to the viewing time. I'm glad I still have the original version they put out, as this version is just like every other one out there on the market. It's a shame they never put out 'The Hurricane Express' and 'The Three Musketeers' serials without the summary chapters as well. The first version of Marengo Films ... Read More
