THE MISSING
LADY-1946-Mystery and murder surround "the jade lady" (a
statue). Lamont Cranston (Kane Richmond) is framed for murder and only
The Shadow can clear him. The police chief (James Flavin) wants to
run him in but Cranston's uncle the police commissioner (Pierre
Watkin) saves and defends him. Margo Lane (Barbara Read), chauffeur
Shrevvie (George Chandler) and Serrvy's girlfriend (Claire
Carleton) provide the annoying comedy. There's not much of The Shadow himself in this cheap disappointing feature from Monogram. For some reason the
character of Margo is presented in these three movies as a real
airhead in direct contrast to her radio persona. Phil Karlson
directed again.
Thanks for reading!
