pdclassicdvds: Did the actress in this serial who played Ms. Case the actress who played her on the radio show? Her voice sounds familiar.16:47

Rush: Not an expert at all regarding The Green Hornet, I will go with your thought on that, PCD!16:48

pdclassicdvds: the black beauty 16:50
Rush: YES!16:50
Rush: A couple of weeks ago, one of us, Len, I believe, noted that that car was also used in a Batman serial.16:51
