The Shadow of the Eagle (1932) is a movie/series that I watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of carnival employees who keep seeing messages in the skyline left in smoke by an airplane warning of misdeeds by the Eagle. When the owner of the carnival goes missing the carnival employees believe it is a much bigger act against them and their show. They will work together to discover who kidnapped their boss and who is behind the messages.

This movie/series is directed by Ford Beebe (The Invisible Man's Revenge) and stars John Wayne (True Grit), Dorothy Gulliver (The Galloping Ghost), Walter Miller (The Last of the Mohicans) and Kenneth Harlan (Danger Island).

This movie is recorded in a classic television series with many who done it elements. I adored the carnival setting and the characters were unique and a lot of fun, especially the midget. The dialogue was very good, and the little person's voice and one liners had me cracking up. The flight scenes are also creative and well done. The sped-up scenes are fun too as are the fight sequences and the car fight ending.

Overall, this is very dated but fun movie to watch unfold with unique characters, settings and circumstances. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend watching it once.
