Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Shiwan Khan and Lamont Cranston first meet, their dialogue about where Cranston purchased his tie is a spoof on product placement during the radio airing of The Shadow.
- GoofsShiwan Khan says that he is the last living descendant of Genghis Khan, which is provably not true (see trivia). He is probably counting only the line of approved dynastic marriages, as opposed to by-blows from one-night stands and other "mongrel" branches.
- Quotes
Margo Lane: Oh, God I dreamed.
Lamont Cranston: So did I. What did you dream?
Margo Lane: I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?
Lamont Cranston: I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.
Margo Lane: You have problems.
Lamont Cranston: I'm aware of that.

At first (see my earlier comment) I found John Lone's villain to be too weak...but I see now why. The REAL foe in the film is not Khan..but the SHADOW himself. His inner darkside vs his good side. Lone is just there to show you what the darkside could be. HE isn't what scares the Shadow. It's his own past, his evil side, loss of control that plagues the hero.
I wish this had been better received because we could've enjoyed a few sequels by now. And the same goes for THE PHANTOM and THE ROCKETEER.
