Movie Reviews of Holt of the Secret Service - Complete Serial With Commentary
Movie Review: Joseph "Robb" Roberts
Summary: 4 Stars
The whole idea of a serial or movie for that matter is to get you watching from start to ending. This Serial does that, mostly on the sholders of its star Jack Holt. Could the plot be better? yes. Could the lines be written better? maybe. But WOW! does this serial take off with action in the Saturday movie sreial mode. At one time, Jack Holt was one of the highest paid actors of the silent screen era, and why he was shows through here. When he is on screen, you watch. Also a true fact, The writer of a famous movie detective liked Jack Holt's acting so much he patterned his detective after Jack Holt. The writer's detective was none other than Dick Tracy. Yes this serial is worth getting, also it was the only serial that Jack Holt made.
Summary of Holt of the Secret Service - Complete Serial With Commentary
This hard-boiled serial starts at a frantic pace as gangsters try to outrace hawk-faced mob smasher and secret service man Jack Holt on the highway (Step on it! The police are on our tail!) and the tough talk and action never stops from there. Counterfeiters ris Coffin and gang are operating a counterfeiting scheme from their cliffside hideout, down the rapids and past a roaring waterfall. Holt and his boss Malloy (Zorro's Fighting Legion's C. Montague Shaw) decide to try to pass Holt off as wanted felon Nick Farrell to infiltrate the gang. Equally tough-talking (Want me to weep in a bucket?) Miss Drew poses as his wife (not moll -- wife, and don't you forget it. Want to see the certificate?) and fights beside Jack to defeat the gangsters' schemes.Optional commentary on all 15 chapters by four knowledgable serial fans.
