Shadows of the Night (1928)
As an answer to Warner Bros.' immensely successful canine star Rin-Tin-Tin, MGM launched Flash, a police dog. In Shadows of the Night Flash assists police sergeant Jimmy Sherwood (Lawrence Gray) in catching the feared Feagan gang. Louise Lorraine, formerly of Universal oaters, appeared briefly to provide the necessary love interest and the film did what it was supposed to do, clean up in the kiddie market. Flash, alas, remained unimpressive and was never a serious contender to Rinty's throne. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
- Starring:
- Lawrence Gray, Louise Lorraine, (more)
- Director(s):
- David Ross Lederman
