The Viper (film)

The Viper is a 1938 British slapstick comedy film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Claude Hulbert and Hal Walters. The film was a sequel to the previous years very successful The Vulture, with Hulbert and Walters reprising their roles as hapless private detective Cedric Gull and his sidekick Stiffy respectively. Lesley Brook also features in both films, but in unrelated roles. Directorial duties passed to Neill as Ralph Ince, the director of The Vulture, had been killed in a road accident shortly after the films release.

No print of The Viper is known to survive, and the film is included on the British Film Institutes 75 Most Wanted list of missing British feature films.
