Absolutely spot on... which is I, who own myriads of 1930s-40s serials, have the entire Indiana Jones canon right here by my 78" TV (and even some from the young Indy TV series.)
This is a splendid article about the greatest pure action adventure of the cinema. I don't quite agree though with your claim that Indy doesn't change or develop as a character. True, he doesn't say anything at the end of the film, but after nearly getting killed by the power of God, I don't think he will no longer laugh it off as "superstitious hocus-pocus" like he does near the beginning of the movie. I would also like to think that his relationship with Marion has softened his personality a little. Well, it's always a pleasure to read your essays.
A classic in every sense of the word. Great read, Matthew!

This is the Saturday morning serial by way of Tennyson content that I come here for.
