The Flying Serpent
The screenshot above is quite a bit like a blurry Nessie snapshot, but this was never Producer Releasing Corporation's intention. This is simply what a a terrible print of a grade-Z 40s flick looks like. The Flying Serpent is a remake of The Devil Bat which was a huge hit for PRC. George Zucco, who starred in countless poverty row movies but also had a brief career in serious theatre, takes the lead here (Bela Lugosi had it in Devil Bat) as mad-scientist and controller-of-beasts. The Flying Serpent has zero budget so get ready for the same old painted backdrop over and over and over and a dull cast punctuated with embarrassing efforts at humour. For your viewing pleasure: the acting achievements of all those who have gazed on the Flying Serpent!
Not gazing at The Flying Serpent. Smug reporter pulling superior, semi-interested face for his interview subject.
