Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- Flash Gordon, 1954. 'Flash' Gordon, Dale Arden and science adviser Doctor Zarkof are members of the Galactic Bureau of Investigation. This group has become the law enforcement arm of the universal government.

*Special Stars- Steve Holland, Irene Champlin, Joseph Nash.

*Theme- Planets and their inhabitants can work together in harmony to make things great for all.

*Trivia/location/goofs- B&W, German, post WW2 early 60's TV show made from previous theatrical serials released in Europe.

*Emotion- A sophisticated science fiction show based on the Flash Gorndon comic book serials. A wonderful 'time capsule' for the post WW2 era and during the Cold War since it was made in Europe. The film is hugely operatic in plot lines and production elements, but top-notch in production values for it's era. Wonderfully fun and campy. Very enjoyable to watch. I find it superior to the Buster Crabb serials of the '30's.
