Movie Reviews of The Green Archer
Movie Review: " the King of Serials on DVD...VCI Entertainment ~ The Green Archer (1940)"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment and Columbia Pictures present "The Green Archer" (1940) (Dolby digitally remastered), adapted from Edgar Wallace novel with 15 Chapters of vintage serial episodes loaded with action sequences...story line involves not one Green Archer, but two in this better than average serial...don't look now but there are secret doors, passageways in an old castle plus an underground hideaway for automobiles...more action you'd ever want with bows & arrows, poison gas, bombs and plenty of shootouts...will private detective Spike Holland figure out the plans of Abel Bellamy with his stealing diamond operation...who would think that Garr Castle is a front for criminals that are up to no good and their leader Bellamy has his work cut out for him with stolen diamond...is this a family affair with Elaine Bellamy (married to Abel Bellamy's deceased brother) missing in the castle and her sister Valerie Howett and father Parker Howett along with Spike determined to help with this case of jewel thieves hiding in Garr Castle...can you guess before the final chapter "The Green Archer Exposed", who the second archer is...double thrills, chills, mystery and suspense...hitting the bull's eye with excitement...don't miss a single spine-thrilling episode..return next week to this local theater for another episode of action and adventure that will keep you thrilled until the next chapter.
Under director James W. Horne, producer Larry Darmour, screenplay by Morgan B. Cox, John Cutting, Jesse A. Duffy, music score by Lee Zahler...the cast include Victor Jory (Spike Holland), Iris Meredith (Valerie Howett), James Craven (Abel Bellamy), Dorothy Fay (Elaine Bellamy), Robert Fiske (Savini), Forrest Taylor (Howett), Jack Ingram (Brad-henchman), Joseph W. Girard (Insp. Ross), Fred Kelsey (Insp. Ross), Kit Guard (Radio Man Dinky), Kenne Duncan (Michael Bellamy), Edmund Cobb (Stevens, Agent 4-X, henchman pilot), Charles King (Tardoni-henchman), Tom London (Detective), Bud Osborne (Lanton-garage henchman), Jack Perrin (Charlie, the Theater Attendant), Jack Cheatham (Policeman), George Lloyd (Henchman)...now back to the feature at hand Eddie Parker (stunt double for Victor Jory)...special behind the scenes note that actor Victor Jory was the perfect villain in many Hopalong Cassidy films and would appear as a hero in "The Shadow" and "The Green Archer" serials during the '40s, all in all he became a wonderful character actor and was in constant demand with over 150 films to his credit and numerous television appearances...back to the feature as Columbia Pictures is always good till the last drop and this serial is no exception...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there...all courtesy of VCI Entertainment, who in my humble opinion is the best there is in restoring early serials and features.
