Here is the edge-of-the-seat excitement of childhood Saturdays at the movies—the hair-raising escapes, spectacular battles, perilous chases, hidden treasures, and diabolical scientific devices of the weekly serials—To Be Continued is the perfect nostalgic journey into the past. A complete sourcebook of the over 225 motion-picture serials with sound tracks, the book is the definitive guide to the days when cinema villains stalked the screen, to be vanquished in the end by Our Hero, but only after a breathless week of waiting for the chapter TO BE CONTINUED
The book is an entrance into the magic world of such characters as Flash Gordon and his amazing array of rocket ships, monsters, and weaponry; Captain Marvel, who seemed to take great sadistic glee in tossing his opponents off roofs; Dr. Manyus, the benevolent scientific genius who invented a serum to make black men white; and Spy Smasher, the intrepid enemy of Nazi Germany. From the first sound serial. The Ace of Scotland Yard (1929), to the last. Blazing the Overland Trail (1956), the era of movie serials is brilliantly documented, with dates, cast lists, directors, producers, and plots. Covered by the authors are such popular and well-remembered serials as Batman, Dick Tracy, Lost City, The Green Archer, Dead-wood Dick, Zorro Rides Again, The Masked
Marvel, Buck Rogers, Jungle Girl, The Lone Ranger, Drums of Fu Manchu, Terry and the Pirates, and over 200 more.
The authors have researched their subject well, feretting out the obscure actors who made movie serial history, as well as bringing back names that everyone remembers: Buster Crabbe, the dashing hero of eight serials, including Tarzan the Fearless, and Flash Gordon; Tom Tyler, who fought his way through such terrifying adventures as Jungle Mystery, Captain Marvel, and The Phantom; Buck Jones, who thrilled audiences in The Red Rider and Gordon of Ghost City; and Kane Richmond, the handsome star of Spy Smasher and Haunted Harbor.
TO BE CONTINUED will fascinate and delight anyone who has seen a motion picture serial, heard about them from his parents, or is bored with the polished sophistication of today's movies. It is a lasting tribute to an age of action, adventure, blood-and-guts battle, and black-and-white morality—a monument to simplicity, nostalgia, and fun for everyone interested in cinema history.
Ken Weiss is a communications executive who devotes his leisure time to an overriding interest in motion pictures. A film historian and collector, Mr. Weiss lives in New Rochelle.
Ed Goodgold is the co-author of Trivia and More Trivia and the manager of the rock group Sha-Na-Na. Mr. Goodgold lives in New York City.
