Based on the 1930's comic strip, this film, starring Alec Baldwin, puts the hero up against his arch enemy, Shiwan Khan, who plans to take over the world by holding a city to ransom using an atom bomb. Using his powers of invisibility and "The power to cloud men's minds", the Shadow comes blazing to the city's rescue with explosive results.

Dr. Roy Tam: I guess you would call it an implosive-explosive sub-molecular device.
Lamont Cranston: Or an Atomic Bomb.
Dr. Roy Tam: Hey, that's catchy.
Nothing could be more eyecatching than this ANIMATED rose screensaver with a tiny file size.Bright pink roses emerge from the tiled background to float across your view, always a new rose appearing, but always the same number of beautiful blooms moving over the screen. The screen shot was difficult because the roses in the background and the floaters are identical, so Ive added a drop shadow JUST FOR THE PREVIEW to make them visible. Source: Ezthemes Size: (237 Kb)

When it comes to action hero chic in the 90's, bleak is beautiful. BATMAN, of course, set the course with its Gothic Gotham and tortured Dark Knight, and later films such as THE CROW have attempted to capture the same moody atmosphere. The latest challenger for that murky throne is THE SHADOW, based on the radio character of the 1930's and 1940's ... well, not much of a challenger, actually. THE SHADOW is the kind of film that makes others in the genre look better by comparison. Warts and all, BATMAN and THE CROW were at least consistent in their tone; THE SHADOW is messy, convoluted and plodding, the work of a director without an ounce of vision.
