Opis

Created as the mysterious narrator of a 1930 radio drama, The Shadow immediately enthralled listeners and became the star of his own pulp-fiction magazine, which at its peak had a paid circulation of some 300,000 copies per issue. And in the depths of the Depression, to boot Success like this was bound to be noticed by Hollywood, which came calling right away. This fact-filled monograph charts The Shadow's lengthy history in movies, from modestly produced short subjects made in 1931 to the multi-million-dollar spectacular released in 1994 with Alec Baldwin as the legendary Master of Darkness. Brimming with behind-the-scenes production info and illustrated with rare photos, posters, lobby cards, magazine covers, and even frame captures from the movies themselves, FLICKERING SHADOWS is one of the most absorbing pop-culture histories published in years.
