Universal’s last serial, The Mysterious Mr. M, will begin weekly this Saturday on TCM, a month prior to its VCI blu-ray release produced from the original studio 35mm film elements. The Files of Jerry Blake, the go-to site re. sound serials, says the action is diluted by “long-winded expository scenes, the curse of most later Universal serials,” but praises the cast which includes Richard Martin, Virginia Brissac and Jane Randolph. Two of the explosive cliffhangers are from prior Republic serials.
