This is one of the best collections around of The Shadow, and while by no means definitive, a ton of terrific shows are here to enjoy. Since the individual shows have already been listed, I will only touch on those shows I believe are the most enjoyable, from each of the three men here who portrayed the greatest single figure in the history of radio.
ORSON WELLES---Welles was only 22 when he starred in The Shadow. He managed to strike a deal with the sponsor, Blue Coal, which allowed him to do the show "cold" without rehearsal. It served to give his performance as The Shadow an edge. But it also prompted writers to begin writing episodes where the Shadow did not appear at the very beginning -- in case Welles turned up late to the set. Usually, Welles would show up a few moments before airtime, perform a few magic tricks for the cast, then bada-bing-bada boom, he would grab the script and run with it.
What Welles could not do, however, was the signature and sinister laugh of The Shadow. Frank Readick (the voice of The Shadow on Street & Smith's Detective Story) continued to both open and close the program during Welles's tim as the fabled crime fighter.
Favorite show featuring Orson Welles as The Shadow in this collection: SOCIETY OF THE LIVING DEAD
BILL JOHNSTONE began portraying The Shadow on September 25, 1938. He had trouble with the laugh also, but unlike Welles, finally managed to perfect it. He is perhaps my favorite Shadow.
Favorite show featuring Johnstone as The Shadow: THE CHESS CLUB MURDERS
BRET MORRISON became The Shadow in 1943, was briefly replaced by John Archer a year later, then returned as Lamont Cranston late in 1945.
My favorite show featuring Bret Morrison as The Shadow in this collection: A tie between PREVIEW OF TERROR and THE PHANTOM OF THE LIGHTHOUSE.
This great collection comes with a stunningly researched booklet by Anthony Tollin, who uses a number of sources to give a far-reaching look at the history of radio's greatest man of mystery, both in print, on radio, and in film. There are marvelous program notes on each episode included in the booklet, supplemented by photos of many of the key players. Worth tracking down if you're a fan. For those still in love with this theatre of the imagination, this Shadow collection is a must.… (plus d'informations)
