    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!
