Viewing Notes

Sunday morning serial: another Warner Oland CC flick, which is set in Monte Carlo, obv. He drops a great line on his number one son, Keye Luke, after they get wrongly arrested, “assassination of the French language isn’t a serious crime” after his son butchers the French language talking to the police.

I recalled who Virginia Field looks like in this movie: the Chinese actress Dili Reba, which is odd but the resemblance is uncanny. Both are gorgeous.

Best reoccurring actor (outside of Oland and Luke) is Harold Huber, who is the French Inspector here. In the previous film (CC on Broadway) he’s a hard boiled NYPD detective. In CC in Rio, he’s the Latin police chief. This must of been a running gag for the filmmakers to continue casting him in the same kind of role but a different character. He’s great.
