Poster for the movie The Return of the Frog

Return of the Frog (British Lion, 1938)

In this sequel to the aptly named The Frog, both movies based on works by Edgar Wallace, a ruthless master criminal who uses a radio in a porcelain frog to communicate with his underlings proves to be still at large, and still dangerous, and Inspector Elk (Gordon Harker) is once again called upon to battle him. The battle is made more personal by the Frog’s targeting of Elk for death, too. Assisting Elk is an American detective over from Chicago — but could the detective in fact be the Frog in disguise? Brisk and entertaining, with a good supporting cast as well.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 160 for 2021.
