Viewing Notes
Sunday morning serial: not a serial but very much could be with the addition of Charlie Chan or The Shadow, two characters Phil Rosen has directed.
Beginning to think Rosen isn’t all the good when he doesn’t have a solid anchor character like Charlie Chan. This murder mystery has the elements but aren’t mixed together very well.
