110 The Flying Serpent (1946 )

I  wasn't  expecting  this  to  be  much  good  but  it's  actually  quite  enjoyable.

George  Zucco  plays a  mad  archaeologist, Professor  Forbes, who  has  discovered  Montezuma's  treasure  and  the  winged  serpent  that  guards  it. By  means  not  really  explained, Forbes  manages  to  cage  it  and  discover  that  it  will  attack  and  kill  anyone  in  possession  of  a  feather  plucked  from  it. When  his  friend  Dr  Lambert  unwittingly  draws  attention  to  the pent   treasure Forbes  starts  using  the  serpent  ruthlessly  to  protect  his  secrets. As  such  it  has  a  very  similar  premise  to  The  Devil  Bat.

We  never  see  the  serpent  up  close  but  it  is more  convincing  in  flight  than  you'd  expect.

Hope  Kramer  ( as  Mary  Forbes )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

Hope  is  pretty  obscure  as  this  is  one  of  only  two  films  she  made. She  was  born  in  New  York  in  1930. That 's  about  all  that's  known  about  her.
