Movie Reviews of Terry and the Pirates
Movie Review: "Milton Caniff's creation comes to the serial world ~ Terry & the Pirates"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment and Columbia Pictures present "Terry and the Pirates" (1940), featuring a 15 thrilling chapter serial based upon the famous Milton Caniff cartoon strip...15 Chapters of the favorite newspaper feature satisfying several million fans comes to the DVD world...jungle action mixed with hair breadth escapes ending each episode.
Under director James W. Horne with a fine cast which include William Tracy as Terry Lee, Granville Owen (aka Jeff York) as Pat Ryan, Joyce Bryant as Normandie Drake, Allen Jung as Connie, Victor DeCamp as Big Stoop, Sheila Darcy as The Dragon Lady, Dick Curtis (great Columbia Picture stock player of 100 films) as Master Fang, J. Paul Jones as Dr. Herbert Lee, Forrest Taylor as Mr. Drake and Jack Ingram (a favorite in the bad guys department) as Stanton the thug leader...writing credits include Milton Caniff and Mark Layton.
Tracy who plays a young Terry along with Ryan go up river in a infested jungle with plenty of dangers...searching for a treasure that has been hidden from the civilized world...plenty of adventure turns up with Dick Curtis as Fang as the mysterious and evil Oriental villain...less we forget Dragon Lady, the Tiger Men and a mad gorilla at large...the Saturday Matinee crowd would most certainly be sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for the next chapter...Charlie King (we called him "Blackie" in the B-Western) appears with other Columbia Picture extras that you've seen in many serials and B-Westerns...this is sort of an early "Indiana Jones", complete with campy humor that will keep you in stitches along with dangerous and thrilling Milton Caniff characters that you enjoyed decades from the comic strip.
