Movie Reviews of Secret Agent X-9
Movie Review: " the King of Serials on DVD...VCI Entertainment ~ 1945 Secret Agent X-9"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment and Universal Pictures present Alex Raymond and Dashiell Hammett comic strip character from King Features Syndicate "Secret Agent X-9" (1945) (Dolby digitally remastered), 13 Chapters of vintage serial loaded with action sequences...the story line opens with Secret Agent X-9 on a destroyer and changing into a Nazi uniform impersonating a German Office, then giving his position over a wireless hoping a German submarine in nearby waters will over hear and blast her out of the water...does Phil Corrigan who is Agent X-9 join forces with Ah Fong and Jan Wiley trying to defeat Nabura who just so happens to be a most sinister Japanese agent around and one of the nastiest villains you'll ever run into...will Hakahima the Japanese scientist use his discovery of aviation fuel and element "722" to good use...Solo is about to do the double cross or is he, and if so will it foil X-9's plans....can "Shadow Island" remain neutral or will she fall into the hands of the evildoers...watch every scene for clues that will lead you right up to the tell tale final episode...the writers once again have been burning the midnight oil, cause it's down to the wire cliffhanger...Universal's high production team and great stunt work from the veterans serial department...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there.
Under director's Lewis D. Collins and Ray Taylor, producers Morgan B. Cox with original story by Joseph O'Donnell and Harold C. Wire, screenplay by Joseph O'Donnell and Patricia Harper...the cast include Lloyd Bridges (Phil Corrigan - Secret Agent X-9), Keye Luke (Ah Fong), Jan Wiley (Lynn Moore), Victoria Horne (Nabura), Samuel S. Hinds (Solo), Cy Kendall (Lucky Kamber), Jack Overman (Marker), Benson Fong (Dr. Hakahima), Arno Frey (Kapitan Grut), Ferdinand Munier (Papa Pierre Dupray), Ann Codee ('Mama Pierre' Dupray), George Chesebro (Blindfolded man), Edmund Cobb (Bartender), I. Stanford Jolley (Trent - Henchman), John Merton (Parker), Tom Steele (Nazi sailor on 'Lorelei'), Dale Van Sickel (truck driver)....great stunt work by Eddie Parker (stunt double for Lloyd Bridges) and John Daheim (stunt double for Benson Fong)...stayed tuned and don't miss each exciting chapter...another great serial provided by Universal Pictures during their heyday in the early '40s...by the way musical score by Milton Rose, Hans J. Salter, Frank Skinner and Paul Sawtell...also must make mention films like this were tremendous morale boosters during WWII with this well written spy story...excellent production with climatic scenes in each episode, especially in "Zero Minute" the final chapter.
