Black Dragons (1942)


An Odd Spy vs. Spy Film


This is not one of Bela Lugosi's best films but it's not snore to watch either. It's odd, interesting in its way and more on the fun to watch side than it is a suspenseful & intriguing thriller film.

Bela's acting is good as it usually is - so he's fun to watch in this movie. As another reviewer has mentioned: Lugosi does his famous "who me?" style of acting in this strange but fun spy vs. spy type of war thriller.

From what I have read, this is an American propaganda film - it was 1942 so taking that into consideration the film is "ok" because it could have been worse.

If you are looking for something different to watch on an otherwise boring afternoon and like some of Lugosi's other films or just like older fun war spy films then you might like "Black Dragons".

5/10
