Poster for the movie La Sombra Vengadora

La Sombra Vengadora (1956)

Rogelio (Armando Silvestre) battles criminals as the masked wrestler La Sombra Vengadora (“the Avenging Shadow,” played by Fernando Osés). The bad guys are led by La Mano Negra ( “the Black Hand”), who is trying to force scientists to decipher a formula that he wants to use. This early luchador film is fairly undistinguished but did get a sequel, La Sombra Vengadora vs La Mano Negra.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 405 for 2021.
