The Cliffhangers that are not
9 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I was a little disappointed in the cliffhangers in the "Perils of Pauline." We see her rescued, like from a burning house fire in the first chapter, and then see her back home being comforted by her boyfriend with about a minute left before the end of the chapter. Have no idea where the powers that be finally woke up and made the chapter endings real cliffhangers. The chapters in "P of P" are self contained. One could see chapters One, Three, Five, Seven and Nine and still get the full effect of the serial. Did see a few goofs in the titles. One says put the boat out to "see" instead of "sea." It was interesting to see that Paul Panzer, the villain, had a bit part in the Betty Hutton film. He is listed in that film as a "parlor gent." When Pearl is trying to rescue her friend from a pie-throwing incident and goes through several rooms where silent films are being shot she goes through a room where some dressed up gents are doing a scene. I believe he is the man standing up and is surprised to see someone in the scene who is not supposed to be there.
