Viewing Notes

Figured I’d just make it an all b&w day with another Charlie Chan serial (b-side of this DVD). Kind of amazed at how great this transfer is. Super sharp picture and excellent contrast. I only mention this bc of other films released around this same time period that have garbage transfers. Like, this looks so good it’s almost like it was made now as a spoof on these movies.
