Viewing Notes

My first Warner Oland Charlie Chan flick? Yep.

Not as crazy about Oland as Chan versus Toler but that’s probably bc I’ve seen most of these w/Toler. That said, this is pretty good with a few misdirections in the screenplay. Also like the Shanghai setting and having more true Asians in the sub-supporting cast.
