It is, in fact, not very good as far as acting and story go. But it is unintentionally hilarious, especially when Edmund Cobb shoots a warning message through the hero's window, breaking the glass--every chapter! Kinda makes you wonder why they didn't just leave the window open after a chapter or two? The story concerns mystic chains that can turn sand into jewels. A crazy old guy has the chains and a crook wants them. The chains actually belong to Cobb, who keeps sending those messages wanting the chains back. Again, you might wonder why he doesn't just go knock on the old man's door and say "give me back those chains". There again, it's a serial so you have to be willing to suspend some disbelief. The best thing about all this is the Serial Squadron/Hermitage Hill DVD of this film looks fantastic. There's an option to watch it with a music track--as all early serials the only music is...

This review is from: Sign of the Wolf (Serial) (DVD) This DVD edition from The Serial Squadron / Hermitage Hill is quite good, though some of the processing left questions as to how close it was to the original. The film holds interest better than the description of the plot would suggest, probably due to the subtle humor with which it was made. It was compelling enough that I had to get a copy of VCI's edition on VHS for comparison purposes. "The Sign of the Wolf" is an early sound film made in a style not assimilated as easily as the later ones by most serial movie fans, so this DVD edition added some features thought to be helpful. The transfer was made with great care, providing a good image and generally clear sound. The additions consist of added music to fill the many sections where none was provided in the original and to enhance the action scenes, and the film has been tinted which is supposed to assist with the atmosphere. Fortunately, for those who like their films as they were, these "improvements" can be...
