Viewing Notes
In viewing a bunch of Columbo episodes recently I discovered that there were a a few of the Warner Oland Charlie Chan films that I still have not seen (watched most of them earlier this year). Fortunately my library had a couple.
This one is fine but not as good as other Chan flicks. When they move the story to Berlin is when the movie should heat up but it doesn’t. The poor German accents (when there were accents) and Number One Son (Luke Keye) being one of the Olympic athletes were a detriment to the story. But I gotta give a half star for having Charlie Chan Jr (Layne Tom). Wish he had been in it more.
