I could watch Charlie Chan movies over and over and enjoy them again

These old mystery movies which are injected with a little bit of comedy, are very entertaining. The lack of special effects technology meant the actors really had to know how to act. I was not born until almost 10 years after this movie was made and still enjoy watching these fairly low budget classics from time to time as they did have good story lines.

Every time I think I have seen the best of Charlie Chan, I watch another I'm amazed again. While the average people in the 40's didn't dress as they do in this movie, it was with the upper classes. I love the clothes, lovely houses, apartments, and the use of the English language. It's nice to watch a movie and not have to hear foul four letter words, and naked backsides.

Funny how it's the VERY LAST THING I love about Charlie Chan movies. I can get that stuff anywhere. It's something else about Charlie Chan. The movies feel like a long hug. This was my least favorite I think because THE BLACK CAMEL was so extraordinary. Also, THIS movie demonstrated the old Hollywood favorite casting method of utterly beautiful young women and bald middle-aged men. Not quite as bad as most movies made in the beloved heyday, but Charlie Chan movies usually didn't pull that. In this one it was stark because it isn't usually done. I mean, the sons Jimmy and Tommy alone provided women with eye candy as we enjoyed a good murder mystery. The clothes are beautiful, which makes them average, the backgrounds average in the same way, IMO, like in all mystery movies from the forties. There's something that sets Charlie Chan apart and it just IS NOT the decor and dresses!

thank you for posting this all time classic movie ,take me back to my youth and fond memories of my Mum who sadly is no longer here but never forgotten in my heart . God bless you Mum xx

Just dicovered Charlie Chan. What a pleasant experience!

I am partial to the Charlie Chan movies that have Harold Huber as supporting actor. In this film he played Chief Souso. In another Chan film called "in the darkness" he played a bumbling Inspector in Paris during the Munich conference where France was alarmed Hitler will BBC attack France. A third Chan movie called "In Monte Carlo" Huber played chief official helping Chan solve a crime. In a 4th Chan movie, Harold Huber showed off his amazing talent for using different accents in "murder in New York" he played an NYPD police Lt. again helping Chan solve a murder. Huber had such a deep New York accent that Chan actually said he could not understand him. It took me awhile to figure out it was him. A Hollywood icon Harold Huber !

Huber is indeed a standout player in all of his roles.

Another great one. I can't decide whether I like Toler or Oland better at playing Chan. They're both entertaining as hell. I can see why these movies were so well liked during WW2, they were patriotic and swept people away to exotic locales with excitement and suspense and some humor for a while. Btw, I sensed what was going on with the cigarettes near the end of the movie and was right (though there was a bit more to it than I had figured).

Both Oland and Toler have their good points. Both are fantastic detectives, and both come across as experienced. I think Oland's portrayal normally came across as the gentler, more fatherly and patient one, though. Toler's portrayal was just a bit more abrasive, and he was more tired of the mistakes his kids made. The only time I can think of Oland's portrayal being abrasive at all is when his overly-eager but goofy assistant in "Black Camel" opened a door and blew the torn-up pieces of evidence off the table. Oland then said "Koshimo, you are Zebra!" and then Koshimo asked something like "What is that?" and then Oland said "Sport model Jackass!" Granted, I don't have a complete picture of Oland's portrayal of Charlie Chan; after all, 4 of the movies were lost in a fire in 1937, and no new prints of them have come to the public.

With this virus, these movies keep up peoples spirits. Charlie Chan, though, always keeps peoples spirits up.

I would rush to clean up after the dance so I would get home to watch the movie, I was aways very tired but I really loved J Carrol Naish as Charlie Chan. I would tuff out the tired feeling BUT I ALWAYS fell asleep 10 minutes before the end of the movie and would wake up for the credits, if there where any. I am sure you realise what the meant.

Well, froggy: The average person esp women had a much greater array of classic clothes, cut from expensive cloth Tailors were more common in those ages. Quality garments were made for every day women not just the upper class. The average women would have 2 or 3 expensive suits with shoes and bags to match. I should know my Mother was one of these women and my seven aunts. Nowadays, the closets are filled with cheap replicas bought at Sears, Eatons, and many smaller shops. The closets are stuffed with many belts, purses and shoes that are cheap knockoffs. The tailors have folded their tents and become bus drivers.

Love the intro, & that Latin beat Jimmy Chan really got jazzed up w/ that Latin Beat. My Dad introduced me to all the Charlie Chan movies. Love me some CHARLIE CHAN. Of course my Dad's name was JIMMY & he was # 1 son when he was growing up.

And to think that actor that played Jimmy Chan was a house boy. His employer a woman suggested he audition for the role and he got it. Sadly Sen Yung died in poverty. When I think of all of these actors who feel they are entitled to great riches, and some spent their lives trying to make a living and didn’t do as well.

Stumbled on to these Charlie Chan flicks as well as the few Mr. Wong featuring Boris Karloff and introduced to me one of the all time great film curmudgeon's, Grant Withers. Retired for over three years now (64), I've had the time, usually in the evening while preparing for sleep, I'll watch atleast one or two and inevitably will fall asleep to the next one that KZread has lined up in their 'thumbnail' queue.

@@robertawilson549 Sen Yung had a pretty good acting career. Most people know him as Hop Sing, the cook on Bonanza - he was in over 100 episodes. He also had a recurring role as one of the Shaolin monks in the early 70s TV program "Kung Fu" with David Carradine. My favorite role of his was Joe in "Across the Pacific" with Humphrey Bogart.

totally agree with so many, love the ability to watch these movie's that don't need to use fowl language and allow the viewer to imagine the violence. just wish youtube would show all the Chan films and not just the earlier one's. allow us to viewer all of Sidney's Chan films

Jimmy (Victor Sen Yung) later went on to play Hop Sing on the Bonanza series. Growing up I watched every Chan movie that came on the TV, as well as all the Bonanza series, and I never made the connection Jimmy/Hop Sing until I was much older.

Excellent quality video, thanks!

Pour a cup of coffee, light up a cigarette, and enjoy this mystery.

Thanks for upload! Great old shows

Huber seems to enjoy making this movie; if nothing else, he smiles in several scenes when he has no need to (though, he could be smiling at bloopers that required re-shooting scenes). Movie was released in September 1941, before Pearl Harbor but while the draft was in effect.

I love all Charlie Chan movies, even the ones in the 70's-80's . this is a favourite of mine. Thank you so much. 🎬🎥🥂

Victor Sen Yung (Jimmy Chan) was a great actor; was also great in "The Letter" with Bette Davis and went on to play Hop Sing on Bonanza. 😄😄👍👍

Fantastic screen quality which is always a delight

Okay, got it. The Feathered Serpent. Stars Roland Winters (who's actually younger than Keye Luke) as CC, Keye Luke as Lee Chan, and Victor Sen Yang as Tommy Chan. This is the second last CC film made with Roland Winters and the last one with Victor. 1948, I think. Or 1949. Not too sure of the year.

IMO this is one of the finest entries in the series. It was nice to see Harold Huber's character played as intelligent and shrewd, instead of the usual bumbling, yelling and dumbish character he played in the other CC films such as "City In Darkness" and "At Monte Carlo."

I think that “The Black Camel” was one of a couple of CC books made into movies with the same title. The other was Behind That Curtain - which was barely a CC movie. I always thought that it was a shame that the original few books were never all made into movies. “The House Without a Key” was wonderful.

Love this Charlie Chan movie and Victor Jory's role as an urbane sophisticate is quite a departure from his role as "Yancy", a heartless hired killer, in "Dodge City" starring Errol Flynn.
