Hear our thoughts on the film at, www.orphanedentertainment.com/dark-alibi-1946/
Im 64 yrs old and have got so I am watching more movies from the 1930's-1940's. I especially enjoy the Charlie Chan movies. Thanks for sharing.🥰
I’m 83 and I watched all these movies
42 yr old who exclusively watches films from 1930s and 1940s, sometimes the 50s, and I always come back to Charlie Chan when it's been long enough without seeing one.
Me too.

Nice to see Mantan Moreland and Ben Carter perform their "indefinite talk" routine, where each would speak to the other, starting a sentence only to be interrupted by the other, yet continue to understand each other perfectly. To me that took real talent.
The best part of the show, in my opinion.
Ditto - Willie Best played a semi-serious part in another movie; I missed him saying "Feets, do your stuff", but good that he had a break from usual.
Thx for your comment...🤳🖖
Thanks, I will look for the routine, really, thanks a lot. I watched it, do you know of any of there other material? All the best from Portugal.🇵🇹
That's like the 2 Black guys in Airplane taking Jive!
They do it in one other Chan that I remember. It’s a real treat to get to see them together getting to do some of their vaudeville act. We were lucky some of trier act got recorded.
I love these old Charlie Chan movies, especially when Mantan Moreland is included in the cast. Join me in watching and enjoying. England, October, 2023.
"I will sit in car while you enjoy nervous break down " 😹, oh that Chan the coolest comedian 🙃😹👊👌🐈⬛️🐈⬛️
They gave him some great lines!
Mantan Moreland is a fabulous actor. He also teams up with Frankie Darro in a bunch of movies. 😊
I love Frankie Darro movies!
Yes, both very enjoyable in any film.
Now picture this -> a comedy short subject staring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Mantan Moreland !! This is what Moe wanted after Curley had to quit making shorts. Sadly the studio said no and they ended up with Joe Besser.
Personally, I think Mantan is the real star of these shows.
@@paladin56agree
I’m 79 years old and have been watching Charley Chan since I was in hi school and have watched with pleasure and still enjoy today till today 2024
The chats Birmingham has with his friend are my favourite parts of these movies.
I remember watching these on Sat. mornings back in the late 70's. One of my local independent stations used to feature either a Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto or a Sherlock Homes film as part of their morning movie.
Yep. Right after Creature Feature.
They started in the 50,s on Sat morning
Mantan and Charlie, I couldn't ask for more !!!
❤just love my old black n white mystery on Sunday
I agree. B&W is a plus
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Charlie Chan movies are absolutely worth their weight in gold. the ones with Birmingham are priceless.
I love these old films.
I liked when Mantan and TommyChan enter the convicts area.Mantan and Tommy Chan were holding hands while walking 😂😂
I thoroughly enjoyed that! What comedic gems the three main characters (and the convict) are! Thanks for the upload!
Plenty of adventurous subterfuge and funny witty scenes/lines in this B flick. Worth watching just of the dialogues between Matan Moreland and Ben Carter --- and, finally, Sidney Toler. Thanks O.E.
I think this is the last really good one from the poverty row studio. It's a testament to the actors and scripts that up to this point, they were so good. The Fox films were stunning but these hold up. Mantan Moreland is always wonderful and so are all the character actors who show up in them. No one can match Sidney Toler, Chinese or not. We have all of them on DVD.
DITTO.
Same with me. My son knew I loved the Charlie Chan movies he went out and bought them for me. Love my son❤
you see a difference between this film and the I think it is 3 Tolers that came after this one?
@@willieluncheonette5843 a little. I like it, not love it. Even the other poverty row outings prior to this one were really fun. This was the start of the real downhill slide.
Thank you so much for sharing the Charlie Chan movies I love Charlie Chan and all his movies and I appreciate it very very much
I am 83 and I remember watching Charlie Chan when I was a small child in late 40’s, my older brothers and sisters loved these mysteries …..my favorite Charlie Chan was this guy in , Dark Alibi……
I know that Charlie Chan in Egypt is considered the best of the CC series. But this was really good.
I've enjoyed Charlie Chan w/Mantan Moreland movies for sometime. For that time, Ive always thought the CC movies were humorous, respectful and non racist.
I love them and appreciate that a couple of the actors who played Chan were actually acting not just doing broad Chinese stereotypes, but it really is very racist because Chinese roles should be played by Chinese actors, but that would not happen in the 30s. I mean have you seen Kathryn Hepburn play a Chinese character? Awful and pretty racist. Omg and John Wayne being Mongolian? Oh brother! Lol
In themselves Chans don’t seem racist.
I'm into these old movies more now that I'm old, always liked Charlie Chan.
I used to love watching Charlie Chan movies...the OG Charlie Chan.
This movie almost slipped through my fingers like Sand. sureI’m glad I did my research.
I totally enjoyed all of Charlie Chan movies don’t wanna miss one👍🏼👍🏼💐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇨🇦
"You relax, and you survive great ordeal."
That's a cookie-fortune if I've ever heard one😆
Charlie: "Please continue."
Mrs. Foss: "That's all I have to say."
Charlie: "That's what woman always say, yet go right on talking."
Put 'em in their place, Charlie.😂
I remember watching these movies on Sunday afternoon growing up.
Thank you to the person who commented that he/she did NOT understand why it has been stated that Charlie Chan movies were racist. I think there's way too much flaunting of the subject on race/racism!!
Charlie Chan is portrayed by a white person. Charlie's Chinese children are portrayed as immature. Birmingham is portrayed as a coward.
This is the standard portrayal of minorities.
This is why the movie is racist.
On a personal note, I wanted Charlie for a father.
@@paulacornelison243 It's called acting. Look up the word. And notice most of the prisoners are white. You are so overtaken by your virtue signaling.
@@michaelbabbitt3837 Because, in the 40s, most prisoners were white.
Modern mindset is brainwashed to see everything "racist" or "sexist".
@@paulacornelison243What a racist comment!
Thank you Remember them growing up and their still the Best ever 😊
Christopher here... I've recently been diving into the Charlie Chan films. Some less than great, some are really good! There have some legitimately compelling mysteries.
Glad you are enjoying the film!
Wish I was as smart and anti racist as Charlie, he's a classic example of all that's good in any society ❤
What does racism have to do with this movie??? Jerk!!!
Thanks for this. I like the Monograms better than the earlier Foxes because of Mantan Moreland, a fine comedic actor. The scenes between him and the son are always enjoyable. The Monograms don't have the production values of the Foxes but that's precisely why I like them. They are more mysterious and off the beaten track. The Foxes are staid, the Monograms kinetic. Both Oland and Toler are fine, Roland Winters, the last Chan, not so much. I find him sarcastic and dour. He did act in quite a few Chans (6 or 7 I think--I'm too lazy to google it now) but by that time the Monograms were coming apart at the seems and the Chan films were getting sort of played out. The Chan series never had a really first class director except for Phil Karlson who directed two of them. Watch the first 6 minutes of his direction of The Shanghai Cobra---pure noir. He made many terrific noirs later in his career like 99 River Street, Five Against the House, Tight Spot,The Phenix City Story, The Brothers Rico,
You're quite a movie fan.
@@garryferrington811 Yes, and I'm a director.. Noir is my favorite genre and influenced me. Three years ago I finished my first film. You must be quite a movie fan too!!
I've always wondered why "Chinaman" is now considered derogatory. Englishman, Frenchman, Scotsman, etc. are not. smh😖
Love Charlie Chan moves:). I binge watched them about a year ago (I am 66). Besides the "soul" the old films have (at least for me), it is wonderful to listen to the actors actually using language beautifully, with enunciation almost forgotten now.
Thought I had seen all of the Charlie Chan's, great episode. 👍🏻
Poor Mr Chan. He never seems to get paid when he does private detective services and saves an innocent life to boot!
The public defender got it made in the end.
Good Charlie Chan from the year of my birth.
Chan movies are great including the film score.
I find it fascinating how people with zero knowledge of another person life are always confident to speak on it
No matter how many you watch they are still great
❤These movie bring so much enjoyment
The conversations between the brothers when then finish each others sentences is priceless!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Superb movie 🍿! And so funny at the same time! Thanks for uploading!
The black and white movies are so restful to the eyes and brain. None of that flashing lights or disruptive plots...that harm the thinking process.
Birmingham brown later upgraded to Bloomfield Hills brown
😂 love these pictures have not watched them for years now glad they are still available
"a satisfied flea from dog to dog"
The government!
This has to be one of the best love the ending 🎉🎉🎉
Embodiment of integrity, wisdom, and valiance in the face of determined wrongful actions. Miss this.
"First time I hear cuckoos outside of clock"😂😂

Our favorite program , from our childhood , my sisters y brothers I joyed seeing Charlie Chan , movies.
Confucius say Chahlee Chan *COOL*
Love these movies
Love Charlie Chan 🤩🤩💖
This film may actually represent a fine expose of faulty crime analysis by a reduction to the absurd. The clowns are everywhere. Brilliant.
Used to watch Charlie Chan on WGN - Chicago, Sunday mornings, early 80's. Classic comedy.
Charlie was master of the quick comeback. Pop, I've been thinking. Impossible.
Yes! Poor number 1, or 2, or 3 son. Always trying so hard to please pop and Charlie giving so much grief. haha!z
We had a lot of fun talking bout it on the Orphaned Entertainment podcast!
Outstanding
They don't make em like this anymore..
Love these old detective novels
Lovin it
Milton Parsons was a great actor.
Montana Moreland open the door for black actors
Sidney Toler was the best Charlie Chan ever.
Warner Oland...

Charlie Chans son. Played Hop Sing on bonanza.
You are thinking of Victor Sen Yung, who DID play Hop Sing and DID appear in several Charlie Chan films. The actor in this film is Benson Fong.
Wow did not know that!
Hop Sing was played by a Chinese man.
@@elizabethneville3086Victor Sen Yung IS Chinese.
older movies the boss in the background nobody knows who he is until the end of the movie and had to be a damn good detective to find the boss
This reminds me of the movie Rush Hour! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

The initial scene. Same actor when Ricky was concerned about his hairline
Love these,based on a real guy
Yes! Amazing bit of trivia, isn't it? We mentioned that when we talked about it on the podcast!
Good movie, thank you. The like button is not working properly.
Sydney Toler is the best
I agree but I didn't know the name
Enjoyed the movie but today it would not be appropriate, it is relevant to the time it was made in the 1940s, I hope people can enjoy it for what it is worth.
It’s a movie. It’s appropriate for today - on a rainy Saturday afternoon- and appropriate for future generations. It’s just satisfying entertainment. And if it’s not for some people today, then they don’t have to watch it. But the rest of us can watch it and appreciate the storyline and specially the acting. Sydney Toler was a wonderful Charlie Chan.
❤😊
My 70s Saturday and Sunday entertainment.
Number 3 son saw number 2 son take a number 1 😂
Lucy had a hard time because Desi was Cuban
Do you have "Charlie Chan And The Egg Roll Conspiracy?"
Unfortunately, that particular film is not in the public domain.
Best movies I've I've seen in years are there any more that funny
good gracias ah me
Monogram had a tiny little four and a half acre studio with three modest stages and a wee backlot in gay East Hollywood. Now it's owned by Scientology.
Any relation to Jackie Chan ?
LOL
Yes civilians are allowed to just roam around prisons. 😂
Use tape 4 fingerprints
✴️ 🤗 ✴️
More realistic.
Sidney Toler loved his booze. 😵🥃
Contrary to public opinion, I think these films would be better without much of the comedic element. Why would anyone live with such a horrible landlady.
Fun when all the criminals actually look like criminals. 🤣
Warm nicht auf deutsch ?!!!

I like Charlie Chan, but I really really really hate Birmingham (Mantan Moreland).... So f.u.c.k.i.n.g anoying
Horrible acting horrible script can't watch anymore
The only issue is that Charlie wasn't oriental. That actor was Caucasian. Racist behavior of American society at large and Hollywood .
So do I.@@davhuf3496
They're actors.
You are a woke liberal , you people are the ones creating imaginary separation between people. I am a 64 year old blue collar and and have never seen racism or known anyone that hates someone because of skin color or nationality, it is the left that perpetuates this nonsense.
While they never found an Asian actor to play Charlie Chan, they did employ just about every Asian actor or actress they could find to play other parts. There weren't that many to pick from in the 1930's and 1940's and none, save Anna Mae Wong, who were box-office attractions. Warner Oland, the 1st notable Charlie Chan, had built a reputation playing Chinese in the Dr Fu Manchu films. He could visually pass as Chinese, so much so that when he travelled to Hong Kong, he was mobbed by Chinese fans who didn't realize he was Swedish-American. When he died, Sidney Toler bought the rights to the character and cast himself as Chan. It wasn't a studio decision.
No it's not d.a.
I HAVE A HEADACHE, YEAH AND NOW YOU HAVE A HEADACHE
