Adventures of Captain Marvel [DVD] [1941] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Memories of my first visits to a cinema a serial that seemed to last forever waiting for the next episode

Cool 40s serial
I'm too young to have see before but having seen several of the 40s serials on DVD- def rate this as one of the top three that I've seen- it's also a mystery serial cos you don't know who the Scorpion is until the last chapter- the flying scenes of Capt Marvel are also fantastic for a serial that was made so long ago when all they had was strings to make it look as though someone could fly!

shazam !
in 1970 myself a friend went to the abc cinema in bath,somerset. br /we sang "we are the minors of the abc !" there was a cartoon western,but br /what made us go back week after week was "captain marvel" even then it was quite dated but watching it now once again,for 1941 the serial is br /fantastic! br /a geeky young man called billy batson says "shazam " becomes captain marvel !a caped crusader (with half a cape!) but he only possesses this power to rid the world of the evil br /scorpion ! we were glued to it then as i am now ,tom tyler is great those br /flying effects still look good now ! what sets this super hero out from the br /rest is captain marvel is not merely billy batson dressed up ,he appears br /by magic in a puff of smoke! shazam !

THE GREATEST BW SERIAL MADE
AS A 60 YR OLD LIVING IN LIVERPOOL ENGLAND UK, I REMEMBER THE MATINEES FOR KIDS AND THIS WAS THE BEST EVER. br / IN SUPERMAN THEY INSERTED A CARTOON CHARACTER ,AND SUPERMAN NEVER MACHINE GUNNED HIS FOES OR THREW THEM OFF ROOFS. br / I HAD TO GET MY COPY FROM THE STATES AS ITS NOT SOLD OVER HERE IN THE UK
