FLASH GORDON (1936)
13 PART SERIAL
Pretty awesome first screen adventure for Flash Gordon.
Thirteen very full cliff-hanger episodes. It's all here, Hawkmen, Rocketships, Fire Monsters, Shark Men etc..
Universal also use a lot of sets and music cues from some of their horror films.
Poor old Flash is pulled this way and that between Dale Arden and Princess Aura. Me, I have a soft spot for Aura (Priscilla Lawson) Lol !
In 1996, Flash Gordon was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
