Movie Reviews of Secret Agent X-9
Movie Review: Get this one, not the 1937 one...
Summary: 4 Stars
The other reviews are pretty exhaustive and informative... please read them, those folks put a lot of effort into typing them in for us. As for mine you can read the rest or not... just read the title, it is all you really need to know.
The 1937 version is really, really bad, too bad even for me and I LOVE old bad serials. This version, with Lloyd Bridges (who later starred in Sea Hunt) is actually good, with special effects consistent with this era and a pretty good story with a few lame bits to pad out the serial for a few more weeks worth of episodes. I recommend this version highly, kind of like a really bad, and cheesy Casablanca without the acting, and drama. Great stuff!
Summary of Secret Agent X-9
Based on the comic strip by artist Alex Raymond and writer Dashiell Hammett. International agents join forces to stop the Nazis from acquiring the formula for synthetic fuel. Lloyd Bridges stars as agent X-9 in this action packed serial. This was the last comic strip inspired serial released by Universal and the second Secret Agent X-9 film based on the same comic strip by Dashiell Hammett and Alex Raymond. The plot line is different from the 1937 version however the characters are similar.
