The Shadow is..if you read that sentence again it clearly says "the
Saint" which someone mentioned in this thread.

The Baldwin Shadow film was far from the first film adaption of the
Shadow but it was definitely one of the worse.

Yes Phantom has flown a plane before and there were deviations but it
stayed truer than The Shadow film. Which was my point. That being said
I wasn't find of either film that much.
