    Although this was not what we are used to enjoy as Charlie Chan movies, it is almost 100years old and a great time capsule of places, mores, clothing, transportation...really valuable for all that. How wonderful you saved this and have shared. TY.

    Being filmed at the beginning of talkie movies it’s pretty obvious that the actors were used to doing silent movies or stage plays and really over emphasized the dialogue and gestures. A great film to show film students. Charlie Chan was the invisible man.

  • @DavidCrossman1
    @DavidCrossman1 Před rokem +11

    An interesting movie in many regards. First, the location footage is amazing for its time. Second, though the acting was not what we would call great today, it was a time of transition from the silent era to that of the talkies, with which actors and directors were feeling their way, so no better or worse than might be expected. The most interesting thing to me, as a writer, is that this was apparently Earl Derr Biggars first introduction of Chan, and he was inspired by this incidental character to build a franchise on him. Fascinating.

    Earl Derr Biggers wrote the screenplay and was the author of the Charlie Chan novels.
    While the movie was stiff and over acted, I was wondering how it would be if it was remade.
    Charlie Chan was in the movie a few times at the end, but not enough to put his name in the title. That was done to draw in the movie goers.
    It did amuse me, so I watched it to the sappy end.

    It is advertised as a Charlie Chan film. Do not believe it. He only makes a cameo appearance right at the end of the film. The acting is terrible, so terrible, in fact, it's almost funny. My favourite scene is Eve and John in a tent in the desert, they get up, sit down, get up again, nearly kiss about 20 times and I am not kidding. Finally, they kiss! Boris Karloff made an appearance as a short of butler; but he didn't do it! Basically, don't bother to watch it unless you are an OTT Charlie Chan fan and therefore don't care or you love watching the most monumental tat in the world!
