Synopsis ;- Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) gets to watch a performance that's to die for. For seven years, opera star Gravelle (Boris Karloff) has been locked in an insane asylum, his identity a mystery - even to himself. But when his memory unexpectedly returns, he begins to recall that his wife and her lover tried to murder him - and now he's determined to make them face the music. Gravelle escapes from the asylum and makes his way to the San Marco opera house and begins hiding out in the various rooms and passageways. Soon, members of the opera company are being murdered one by one.
Chan soon investigates the killings and despite the presence of Gravelle, there are other suspects who may be the real killer. They suspects, excluding Gravelle, include Lilli Rochelle, the opera company's prima donna who has been having a secret affair with Enrico Barelli, the baritone; Mr. Whitely, Madame Rochelle's husband who has warned Barelli to stay away from his wife; Anita Barelli, the opera company's number two soprano who has learned of her husband's affair with Lilli Rochelle; and Phil Childers, the fiancée of Lilli's unacknowledged daughter who has been refused permission to marry the daughter.
Clues found by Chan to apprehend the killer include a torn newspaper, a charred note, a heel mark on a newspaper picture, and a bloodstained belt. Among the questions asked are who has been threatening Lilli Rochelle's life, the mystery man in Barelli's dressing room before he is murdered, and why does Chan insist that the opera be performed twice in one evening?

Anyone notice the "opera" was composed by the great Oscar Levant? Levant was a boy genius who orchestrated George and Ira Gershwin's compositions. After George died and Ira moved back to New York, Oscar stayed in Hollywood to compose for films. His work with the Gershwins made him the leading interpreter of their music while his recording of George's Piano Concerto and Second Rhapsody became must have recordings. Eventually he moved to the front of the camera, starring with Gene Kelley as a struggling composer in An American In Paris.
Thank you for all that information I didn’t know. Well there is a lot of information about everything I don’t know. 🤪
He was, indeed, a genius and an incredible pianist. I just couldn't stand his acting.
I didn't know. Thanks. He was a protégé.. He must have had a wonderful artistic life. I'm envious
And had a wonderful drug store
I did and it is a spectacular Opera.
Why can't they do this today... Thank you from my heart to bring back really good movies... Thank you.
Because they could not refer to Chan as "chop suey". Most of the Charlie Chan movies would be considered racist today.
Charlie Chan movie with Boris Karloff. Great movie!
I laughed at the remark about Frankenstein getting into the theater.
And William Demarest and Frank Conroy. Every time someone shows up you recognize them from other old movies,.
Def 2 x the price❤
Wonderful film: And the line "Frankenstein may get in" while Boris Karloff is coming in is priceless:).
way ahead of their time. I wouldn't hear such in-jokes until Sylvester Stallone & Arnold Schwarzenegger played such reference games against each other in their movies.
The line, "This Opera will go on tonight, even if Frankenstein himself walks in." is a great Inside Joke, since Boris Karloff played The Monster in the first 2 Frankenstein Movies & also is usually called Frankenstein, even though technically, he's The Monster & is not really Frankenstein, which was The Role Of Colin Clive.
This Charlie Chan movie with Boris Karloff is fantastic. Two great actors.
How long have you been watching Charlie chan
Yes...and Charlie Chan did one with Bela Lugosi as well. Very cool, eh ? 🙂
I've been watching Charlie chan mysteries for years and years
I grew up with Charlie chan. I would run home from school and stop at mrs. Hales house for ice cream and then run home and flop in front of TV and watch Charlie.
Simuliar to my childhood too🤎🤎🤎👍👍👍😂😂great memories
Having Boris Karloff in 🎬 is a extra. Treat
And he's a really great singer 😃
@@MarcColten-us2pl LOL
Excellent video quality. Thank you for sharing this great movie. Really enjoy Charlie Chan. !! Many of these C. Chan movies are downright funny, too. Gotta love `em !!
Glad you enjoyed it
My favorite Chan movie because of Boris.
Did you see the one from Honolulu with Bela Lugosi ? That was excellent, as well !!
I think W Oland was the original and superior C Chan! And of course Boris K was incomparable!
Both Oland and Toler were superior actors. Loved them both.
Warner is much better in my opinion. Thank you for posting these.
Also quite nice to see a young William Demerest- my three sons actor.
Made the same year as me, 1936, and has worn as well. Many thanks for these delightful old movies. England.
What a coincidence, I just watched the previous Horse Racing Chan film which leads in to this one. As always I was lead astray as to the real guilty one. I enjoy the science techniques in both films, I never knew there was such image processing transfer machines back then for newspapers. Very informative.
Thank you for the old movie greats🍿🎬📽️
Glad you enjoyed it
I think this is one of my favorite Warner Oland's Charlie Chan movie's & in part I don't think it wouldn't have worked so well with out Sir Boris Karloff . May they both R.I.P. They are greatly missed but not forgotten. Thanks to there movie's long may they play.
Rest in peace all, so great films
I wonder if anybody knew that Boris Karloff had such an excellent voice.
I've watched about a dozen of these Charlie Chan mysteries and spotted about the same number of actors who've made appearances in the Three Stooges two-reelers.
How many of you immediately heard Uncle Charlie speak @5:18?
My Three Sons with the cranky but kind hearted William Demerest that was the house major domo for the McMurray clan? What was the character's name that fathered the three sons? I can't get it to come forward in my 65 year old brain.
Steven Douglas was the dad's name, Fred McMurray played him in my three sons..
William Demerest entered the series because William Frawley had died. I used to watch this show regularly when I was in grade school.
@@Gwaithmir I can believe all this trivia is available today at 'Google Search' but it is nice to rack the 'tiny gray cells' to waken memory from the recesses of that lump in our skulls.
So I thank you "@G" for jogging my memory.
My ability to picture in my mind just what actor was the McMurray's first major domo was shrouded in a thick fog until you blew away the cobwebs and the fog dispersed as quickly as water boils in today's 1200 Watt home microwave oven.
Fred Mertz is a difficult image to conjour as a widower in a household full of dirty laundry. Not to mention that troop of boys abd a dog* tracking muddy footprints into the kitchen from the out of doors just after the floor was swept and mopped clean.
* seems to me there was a big long haired sheep dog of sorts, I'm just not sure if the pooch was a late arrival post William Frawley.
😀✌
Dearest played Marjorie Lord's father on Make Room for Daddy
Crawley died 3 years after Dearest took over.
Best thing FOX Films bought to the Silver Screen, Charlie Chan. 20th Century Pictures was wise to continue the series, after taking over FOX in 1934/35,but alas the studio cut back many series to concentrate on high dollar films, late 1938/39. Sidney Tolar bought the rights and moved to Monogram Pictures.
Thanks for the good info !! 👍
@@doctorartphd6463 Here's one for you,CC in Egypt with Stepen' Fetchit,there is a scene that had me LMAO ,and I'm Black!
VERY interesting!!! ..that's why. 20th Century Fox!!!......wow.....loved both Warner Oland and Sidney Tolar!!!! I'm sure we watched when kids but can't seem to remember exactly......have really enjoyed last few yrs on YTUBE......I watched great ' ole blk n white movies of ALL kinds ...while running around neighborhood I'd come in to get a Coke or Cherry popcycle...& flop down on Mom's old couch in den and start watching a ole " movie .....loved em ...!! Even as little girl....& Then after News at 10pm ....my sis gone to bed ...🌚😴I'd sneak outta bed & crawl on floor to under couch ..Mom would rolling her hair & I'd be right under her propped up legs watching old movie under the couch .... lol Granmom too ....Mom would say " Karen , it's cold down there why don't y come up on the couch 😂.....I didn't fool her for a minute...Mom was great🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎😞😞🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Boris and Fish, from Barney Miller could have been twins, uncanny resemblance
Lol, no doubt, they really could have
William Demerest
Great fun. Thank you.
At 5:30 mins in police station, that's Uncle Charlie from My Three Sons !! I can tell by his voice....... can anyone validate ?
Yes, it is. William Demarest was his name.
A young Boris Karloff. I loved him! Espec. in Thriller, Colonel March, Mr.Wong..I'm just sad I've seen all thats available (i think)😢
It's crazy after the money they made on Frankenstein, Karloff has to play in Charlie Chan role for 750 a week, his new contract was due for 1200 a week, they told him they can't pay that much, so he ended up walking out, he never got what he deserved, typical mgmt move.
Nothing's changed in 2022, either. ALWAYS follow the money.... Hollywood execs like vampires.... or bad spouse. They use you, make money off you, then discard you.
Wouldn’t Boris Karloff’s agent negotiate his salary? This was a TCF film, Frankenstein was a Universal Picture.
If you want to apprehend a maniac, the last thing you do is run your police siren.
I remember watching Charlie Chan as a boy and this was my favourite episode
Good!
A shame no Asian actor ever played Chan. And Karloff actually played an Asian detective in a few movies.
I remember those.
Doesn't matter. It is acting. Only today do people lament such nonsense. They could have used and Indian. Would that have been any better?
@@michaelbabbitt3837 I agree, I watched the Indians actually celebrating Johnny Depp for portraying 'Tonto' in the Lone Ranger movie. Didn't see them complain about him being 'white'.
Yes, he did play an Asian (Chinese) detective. He was "Mr. Wong" Those movies are on YT. Peter Lorre also played a Japanese detective, "Mr. Moto". Those were stopped after the hostilities with Japan broke out.
No Asian actor ever played CC because of discrimination. For those who claim that it's no big deal, it's just "acting", you make a slightly decent point, but it was WHY no Asian every represented an Asian, NOT because of any "acting" skill, but because it would have meant that a white actor didn't get the part.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS BORIS.. REMEMBER HIM IN ALL THOSE SCARY MOVIES..
Cool old movie
Great movie, they don't make them like that anymore
What is the name of the piano piece Boris plays for the girl?
I enjoyed the movie but during the opera I found myself wishing it was the Marx Bros. 😀
45:34 Modern technology is so marvelous!😄
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂 Awesome
Wow, a fax machine in 1936.
Need a transcript please.
Me enamoré de Charlie chan ❤
Anyone else see a HUGE problem with the "math" on Lili's daughter who wanted to get married?
Her father was in an insane asylum for 7 years after a fire at the theater. Charlie Chan asked the girl when she last saw her father. She said " I was four years old when a fire broke out at the theater". So four plus seven would make her 11 years old. Her boyfriend wanted permission from Lili to marry her but she refused. But 4 years and 7 years would make her only 11 years old while she's sitting there wanting to get married. Underage indeed. This was a huge mistake in the script.
She's a very mature 11 year old and that's why they needed to ask permission lol And of course no 11 year old is going to remember seven years ago! It's one of many mistakes in the script.
Did Karloff do his own singing?
Apparently not. I read in a book about him he was dubbed for this as I think all the actors singing were.
These videos are not formatted correctly. Everything is stretched out and compacted top to bottom. It does not do justice to the films. I don’t believe Charlie Chan films had a 12 x 9 or 21 x 9 or whatever it is formated. I want to see them the way they were meant to be seen. Can’t bear the mutated version.
Hardly a sharp print anyway, the faked wide screen doesnt help though.
Somebody is unaware that this was not a wide-screen movie. Goodbye.
LOVE CHARLIE, CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WOMEN SQUEEKERS AND COLOURED TALK WIERD
They need to remove their stupid logo from the corner of the screen. It's like spraying graffiti on a masterpiece, just to piss you off. It was such a distraction. I couldn't watch this.
