This is quite a fun, throwaway, 70 minuter

This is quite a fun, throwaway, 70 minuter that sees George Curzon in the title role who, along with his trusty and amiable sidekick "Tinker" (Tony Simpson), are on the case of a dastardly criminal enterprise controlled by the "Snake" and his gang of silk-hooded cohorts. We know pretty early on who the arch culprit is, and for a while we have an engaging (and simple) cat and mouse drama with one of the earliest uses of CCTV I've seen on film and a suitably terrifying "Room of Death". The production is very basic, but nothing too detracting from an ending that tees it up for a continuing - "Moriarity" style sequel. Greta Gynt and Tod Slaughter are up for their not especially challenging roles too, and of the many "Sexton Blake" outings, this is one of the creepiest!

Holmes and Watson ripoff

Sexton Blake (George Curzon) and his sidekick Tinker (Tony Sympson) try to unmask the head of a crime syndicate in "The Hooded Terror," a 1938 B British film. Sexton lives on Baker Street, I guess up the road a bit from Sherlock, whom he takes after with his scientific experiments, his assistant, his landlady, and his amateur status.Somehwat slow-moving, this film is a combination of suspense with a touch of horror. Tod Slaughter plays the villainous Michael Larron, and Greta Gynt is Mademoiselle Julie.If you're a Slaughter fan, you will enjoy this perhaps better than I did. Curzon and Sympson are pleasant, but they just don't have the panache and bite of Sherlock and Watson.

"I'm an expert in lounge lizardry"

Sexton Blake and his sidekick (whom he actually kicks!) Tinker go on the trail of the Black Quorum, an international criminal organisation, and their supreme leader called The Snake. Also investigating the Quorum is Madamoiselle Julie of the French secret service. Early on in the film it is revealed that The Snake is the famous philatelist Michael Larron, but as he is played by Tod Slaughter he's easy to spot.

Mr. Slaughter gives another fruity performance if you like that kind of flavour and George Curzon and Tony Sympson are adequate as Blake and Tinker. Marie Wright as Mrs Bardell the housekeeper is hilarious. Greta Gynt sparkles as Julie. The best scene was when Blake enters the gambling den and all the players at the long table are dummies. It is surreal and atmospheric. Later on, one of the dummies comes to life....

An engaging 'Boy's Own Paper' kind of film
