- THE STORY OF WILL ROGERS - 1952,
Warner Brothers. Fantastic biography of an American legend. Starring Will Rogers Jr., Jane

really no surprises here. Audiences at the time the movie came out (1952) probably knew
much about Rogers' life anyway. Fantastic to watch in radiant IB

MYSTERIOUS
DOCTOR SATAN
- MYSTERIOUS DOCTOR SATAN - 15
chapter serial by Republic Pictures, 1940. A mad scientist named Dr. Satan plots to steal
key pieces of technolgy to enable him to build an army of robots based on his prototype to
conquer America. The only one standing in his way is Bob Wayne, who fights Satan as the
enigmatic Copperhead. When this serial was being written, it was intended to be a
series that utilized Superman as the main hero. The owners of Superman decided they didn't
want to let the studio use the character. Instead of scraping the project altogether, the
writers replaced Superman with a character of their own creation, called The Copperhead.
One review reads:
"One of Republic's best serials, and that says a lot. Great cliffhanger endings, top
drawer stuntwork from David Sharpe, decent acting, and a really malevolent villain all add
up to a great time for all. Also great to see the bad guy get top billing. This is what a
serial was all about, folks."
This is a Mint Nostalgia Merchant original print. All 15 chapters are on eight new 1200'
Goldberg reels in cans - $799
