Viewing Notes

This one lacks a colorful backdrop for the murder mystery and ties it more to an espionage plot w/the some secret weapon plans as the McGuffin. When I saw Ray Millard in the cast I was hoping it would be a Bulldog Drummond crossover but sadly was not. I’m finally appreciating Warner Oland’s take on Chan even if the story is just so-so.
