Great post! "Gang Busters" was also a 13-chapter 1942 serial from Universal. Though it was based on the radio show and has a certain gritty reality, the screenwriters decided to incorporate macabre elements (such as having convicts come back to life to commit untraceable crimes) that would have been more at home in "Inner Sanctum." Still, it's an exciting serial, one of Universal's best.
ReplyDeleteBoth the 1950s TV show and the 1942 serial is availble via Netflix.
