Wissenswertes
Although there were two characters that appeared in the comics of the day that bore the name The Masked Marvel, this character was a Republic Pictures creation.

Patzer
Near the end of the first chapter, the Masked Marvel falls off a large fuel storage tank onto a canvas-top truck parked on the ground below. The stunt is "performed" by a dummy, whose hand catches on a bracing girder along the side of the tank, ripping its entire arm out of its coat sleeve.

Marvelous hokum

Don't you just love these movie serials?

My particular favourite is The king of the rocket men. But I must admit that The masked marvel runs it close.

There's ham everywhere here. Appalling actors reading from autocue.

It's the epitome of amateurism.

So why so good.

Because it's honest, naive fun. Genuine fun.

There's zero pretence. No swearing. No sex. No gratuitous violence. The very antithesis of modern film and Television.

Of course you can see everything miles ahead. That's because you are supposed to.

In every series with masked heroes it's always patently obvious who they are.

You're supposed to know who they are.

The masked marvel does everything so badly. It does things the way they are supposed to be done.

Take this for what it is.

Old fashioned honest fun.

And what's wrong with that?

We certainly could use more of it these days.
