A number of thrillers made in the 1920s and 1930s have become
available again thanks to new technology. There are a few, however,
that remain elusive to most, if not all, movie buffs. This book
covers 21 thrillers from those decades that are well-regarded and
eagerly sought, but difficult to find - ""The Mystery of Dr. Fu
Manchu"" (1923), ""The Unknown Purple"" (1923), ""The Sorrows of
Satan"" (1926), ""While London Sleeps"" (1926), ""The Monkey
Talks"" (1927), ""The Chinese Parrot"" (1927), ""Stark Mad""
(1929), ""The Unholy Night"" (1929), ""High Treason"" (1929), ""The
Spider"" (1931), ""Eran Trece"" (1931), ""The Monkey's Paw""
(1933), ""Trick for Trick"" (1933), ""Deluge"" (1933), ""The
Vanishing Shadow"" (1934), ""The Witching Hour"" (1934), ""Double
Door"" (1934), ""Black Moon"" (1934), ""Le Golem"" (1936), ""The
Scarab Murder Case"" (1937), and ""Sh! The Octopus"" (1937). For
each film, the author provides such details as the production
company, running time, release date(s), cast and production
credits, a synopsis, and commentary.
