Review Detail

lapis molari was extremely courteous and thankfully I have nothing ill to say of this editor's work. When I was a small boy I first saw this movie and it really left an impression on me. Now, all these years later, I know many elements of the movie will have aged poorly. In general hollywood inserts a lot of cringe inducing "levity" to most everything they produce. This edit presents The Shadow story very straightforwardly, with awkward humor eliminated. Now in this edit we begin the story with The Shadow and slowly learn his backstory. This edit makes the movie more fun, more true to the spirit of the source material and more artful (by taking away the detracting material)
If this edit had been the movie that was released in theaters it would have been a classic. I would rather watch this version than the original. I love how much more sincere this cut feels.
