History of Superhero Films: CAPTAIN AMERICA (1944)

from Pop Culture Historians · host Ryan Ritter

This week, the Pop Culture Historians meet a superhero legend, Captain America! In this version of the future leader of the Avengers, however, there’s no Steve Rogers. Instead, Cap is District Attorney Grant Gardner (Dick Purcell). The Historians pay their respects to Gail Richards (Lorna Gray), grimace at the bizarre and bleak ending, and marvel at an interesting special feature. The entire serial is currently up on YouTube!
