Very nice review!  Something you touch on near the end is Baldwin's
portrayal of Lamont Cranston.  One thing I felt the movie got wrong was
following the radio show and having the Shadow be Cranston -- I'd much
have preferred to have had it follow the pulps' lead and have the Shadow
"borrow" Cranston's identity.  The scene with the Shadow explaining to
Cranston that he is going to be allowing the substitution would have
brought in all the dark side of the Shadow you could possibly have
wished for.
