Man with the Steel Whip
Man with the Steel Whip is a 1954 Republic Movie serial. It uses considerable stock footage from previous Republic serials Zorros Black Whip, The Painted Stallion and Daredevils of the West. As with any serial from the 50s, it is not considered to be one of the best examples of the format. It uses the standard plot of an illicit land grab coupled with a new spin on the Zorro story as Republic wished to use old stock footage from their Zorro serials but had since lost the licence for that property.
Man with the Steel Whip was budgeted at 172,794 although the final negative cost was 174,718 a 1,924, or 1.1, overspend. It was the most expensive Republic serial of 1954.It was filmed betweenMarch andMarch 1954 under the working title Man with a Whip. The serials production number was 1938. ........
