Batman (1943, Lambert Hillyer), Chapter 3: The Mark of the Zombies
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 7, 2017
Despite a tantalizing title, The Mark of the Zombies has nothing to do with zombies’ marks. If there is a zombie, it’s Gus Glassmire, who’s just been electronically brainwashed by J. Carrol Naish.

Zorro slashes his Z onto the silver screen for the first time and Douglas Fairbanks is the man who created the role. Funny, energetic and jam-packed with clever stunts. An ideal lightweight action/comedy and a perfect introduction to Fairbanks. If it were a dessert it would be: (via bhg.com) Mocha read more
