Spy Smasher vs. The Purple Monster (1964)
Directed by Donald F. Glut
Overview
When he was only twenty, comic book author Don Glut completed what could be hailed as the ultimate in fan-fiction: SPY SMASHER VS. THE PURPLE MONSTER, a winning lo-fi tribute to two beloved Republic Studios serials. Glut’s five-part mini-serial captures all the charm of the hokey but heartfelt mid-century originals it emulates on a budget that would hardly keep the lights on at a Hollywood studio. - Jackson Scarlett
Length 12 minutes
