As much as i like Linda,she is weak as the character she is assigned to play in this wonderful serial;
I give it a 9 instead of a 10.
She is somewhat wasted here as she is undoubtedly still "the Queen of the Serials"
Example:just great in Tiger Woman,Zorro's Black Whip and Manhunt of Mystery Island.
In these,she is a strong & powerful presence !
Purple M.Strikes is regardless one terrific SERIAL
Linda always played an independent, competent heroine in all of her serials. While she was an attractive woman, who had done some fashion modeling, she was very slender and did not have the busty features of actresses like Jane Russell. She like some of the other Republic actresses wore bust pads under their clothing. Ironically, she became a drama instructor at a community college where years later, she had to tell of her experiences as a serial actress because the students had caught re-runs on television.
