The Lone Wolf in the 21st Century!


(4 stars)

Woman needs help retrieving her mini gold Santa statue. Lots of characters but not confusing, good audio + plot, well acted. Nice to hear Herb Vigron of 1950's TV Superman & White Christmas fame. The "Lone Wolf" series character had a long run of popularity from 1914, with books, films, radio/TV series. In the 1960's paperback reprints were out. Not much exposure after that except for TV reruns of the film series. A lack of "official" video + DVD releases(although 2 eps from the TV series were available) hurt the LW's fame. With plenty of access to the Lone Wolf on the internet now, people are rediscovering him. There was even a LW festival airing on broadcast TV recently!
