Based on the comic strip by Will Gould, the serial followed the adventures of tough guy police detective "Red" Barry (Larry "Buster" Crabbe) in his quest to recover valuable stolen savings bonds. Crabbe has to deal with a gang of Russian crooks (headed by Edna Sedgewick and including Stanley Price), a group of Chinese agents (headed by Cyril Delevanti) and a bunch of American/Chinese racketeers (headed by Frank Lackteen, Wheeler Oakman and a young Tom Steele), as well as a hostile police commissioner (William Gould; no relation to the strip's creator) and a bumbling British sleuth named Valentine Vane (Hugh Huntley). Despite all the conflicting gangs, Crabbe manages to come out on top with the help of female reporter Mississippi (Frances Robinson) and Police Inspector "Scotty" Scott (Wade Boteler). Crabbe was ideal as Barry, an unshakable and unconventional cop who didn't let protocol or "due process" mess up his investigations, and who was in constant conflict with the windbag police commissioner (William Gould).
I'VE WATCHED ALOT OF OLD TIME SERIALS HERE ON CZcams BUT THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE WOULD COME BACK T THE MOVIES TO SEE A NEW CHAPTER
That was the longest and best game of pass the parcel I've ever seen 😜 And Frances Robinson what a babe 😍😍
Nice quality print! Thank god nobody has tried to colorize it.
not a fan of the colorized versions of serials
Colorization brings out the tonal gradations that the dark shadows do not. **And remember that the real world is still in Technicolor.
@@leelarson107But "colourization" IS NOT, it's like bad sepia & inferior to ANY good b&w print, where do you think Film Noir comes from? Purists & filmmakers were furious when it began & rightly so, prints should be restored, not desecrated.
@@leelarson107 I view so-called colorization as an insult to the people who made the film, akin to telling them that you could do their work better than them. Sort of like telling da Vinci he painted the Mona Lisa wrong.....
This is my first movie seeing Buster Crabbe portraying someone who is not a space ranger. I loved it. Great series! Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is an underrated serial, likely because it falls between Buster Crabbe's more celebrated serials FLASH GORDON'S TRIP TO MARS and BUCK ROGERS. However, taken on its own RED BARRY is a solid 13 chapters and it's good to see Crabbe handling action in a business suit for once. Wheeler Oakman always makes a good bad guy.
Now this is a humdinger of a serial. 3 parties vying for the " prize ", realistic cliffhangers, and while they are " old hat " now, I am especially fond of the fades/wipes that transition the various scenes. Even the music is pretty decent for this period. Tho I have never heard of Red Barry before now.
I love Buster Crable
Never heard of this one before I’m enjoying it. Thanks for posting for our enjoyment.
I enjoyed that, thank you for sharing it.
Thank YOU for watching!
AWESOME‼️‼️‼️‼️
2:12:50 "When you can take the pistol from my hand, it will be time for you to go, grasshopper."
Frank Lackteen (Syrian) as Quong Lee; Syril Delavanti (British) as Wing Fu; and Charles Stevens (American) as Captain Moy....you gotta love Hollywood! Great film....especially the atmosphere and the historical context. Another gem...thank you for archiving and posting.
the comic strip this is based on is awesome. a rare gem now available
DON WINSLOW‼️‼️‼️‼️
DON RED BARRY WAS A GREAT COWBOY HERO. WAS IN LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE.
That fight scene at 1:17:50 was hilarious. It must have been choreographed by The Keystone Kops.
And the fight scene at 2:58:10 is just as silly. That belongs in a 1919 silent film.
I thought Red Barry was a cowboy. This doesn't look like the old west. Where are the cowboys?
U put the weeeed down😂
You're probably thinking of Donald 'Red' Barry, who played 'Red Ryder' in some westerns and also starred in 'Train to Tombstone' (1950). He did a suicide in 1980.
@@leelarson107 Wasn't he also in the movie Frankenstein 1970 with Karloff?
ONLY serial Crabbe wore contemporary clothes, otherwise all he made were Westerns & space & jungle adventures.
@@robotrixYes.
Hello! Did you send me a free autograph picture of Katherine Stewart by mail or not yet?
I sent it, but it was damaged in the mail and came back to me. I'm having a new picture printed and signed, and will send it out asap.
far before my time but somehow with whatś going on now fascinating
Some of the same plot points were in the L&O season premiere.
A great series for real but just 1 thing is their hat glue to their head when they get in to a fight I'm just asking
More on hat glue coming soon!!!!
