The Phantom (1943) is a classic Columbia Pictures cliffhanger serial starring Tom Tyler in the title role. The serial is based on Lee Falk's comic strip The Phantom. The serial also features Jeanne Bates as the Phantom's girlfriend Diana Palmer, and Ace the Wonder Dog as the Phantom's trusty hound Devil.
In 1955, Columbia Pictures filmed a sequel to The Phantom, this time with John Hart in the lead role (Tom Tyler had passed away in 1954). However, due to licencing issues with King Features, the owner of the character, the entire serial was re-shot and re-named The Adventures of Captain Africa.
Phantom is a silent film that was directed by F. W. Murnau in 1922, the same year he directed Nosferatu. It is an example of German Expressionist film and has a surreal, dreamlike quality. The film was thought to be a lost film for many years, but was restored by German film archivists and re-released in the USA on 12 September 2006. (Source: IMDB)

Open your eyes: Otto Sander is one actor beside 4999 other main actors: 5,000 individuals searching for their real identity, 10,000 eyes that carefully observe so that they din't miss anything. The prize-winning film at the Berlin Film Festival shows faces, mounted in ever increasingly fast sequence, melt into the visual equivalent of the countenance of the human species. An entirely sensuous and at the same time philosophical film. Written by Bernd Cailloux and Kraft Wetzel

An agent of a foreign power also wants to establish a secret airbase there, so he stirs up the natives against The Phantom, who has been able to get them to stay peaceful so far. When The Phantom is murdered, his son takes his place and sets out to restore peace to the jungle and stop the agents' and the treasure hunters' nefarious plans. Written by frankfob2@yahoo.com
