    Thank you for sharing this, a real treat! Actors were made of sterner stuff back then... the studio was so cold you could see their breath steaming! Delightful thank you!

    Interesting to see an early Canadian production. Lots of fun in this one. The film industry at that time seems to have had a love affair with everything Asian, there were scores of pictures made with this theme, including detective series like "Charlie Chan", "Mr. Wong Detective" and "Mr. Moto". The actress reminds me a lot of a very young Joan Bennett , who was also a platinum blonde at the time.

    Set decorators were being thrifty and used the same prop - photo frame with figure looking to the left - seen at 3:59 (hanging on the wall behind him to the right) and 23:51 (on the table in foreground). I'll keep an eye out for more! Sorry if I seem to be spoiling the movie for you by noticing such things.

      COWBOY!!! Snappy new dudz pic - when did this happen?!? You're lookin' kinda like a well-heeled riverboat gambling proprietor ORRRRR a gunslingin' private eye from the 1800's big city lights time-travel-shadowing Joseph Diego "Casey" Ramirez in 1984 Princeton (researched him last week). Get 'em, Cowboy! Moved to a nightmare town, like that one, a few years ago.
      😎😎😎 LUVVV your Colts. Are your replicas functioning? Kinda disturbing seeing the red on you, though - hope it's a tie, & not blood.
      I played dentist today. 😏 Called a certain state's Supreme Court ... finally persuaded, with a little bit of novacaine, an uncooperative appellate's office clerk's supervisor to agree to photocopy & send me a certain 84-page PETITION against a certain TopDogCoolCat & the judge's corresponding Ruling; plus, the Senator's Public Info Dept is sending me the § hardcopy!!! 🎉🎉🎉 (I'd already screenshotted 'em all, but I prefer the hardcopies for perusing & pondering & highlighting & marking in red ink with under-linings & ☆stars☆ - lol. My Federal Senator's aide sent me my pocket Constitution two Autumns ago, which got E-VON more red-penned-up today - lol!) Twas a pretty good day!!! ;)
      Homemade tacos & rootbeer time!
      Have a good evening, Cowboy!

    You know what I like Pizza!
    Nothing like jumping right in to some 1930's fast paced action!
    No wasting time with this one, Thanks!

    Guy in the turbin needs a new disguise and his freeze, dither, then flee needs work. Also they could have gotten the Romeo.out of there before they waxed philosophical.

    At around 12 minutes, after the butler exits, people exhale smoke when they talk.

      ​@@michelleayres5608set scenes for this movie were filmed in an unheated horse barn. Very chilly and moist.

    • @jamessnee7171
      @jamessnee7171 Год назад

      Many many different TV shows and movies are filmed on sets so cold that you can see their breath. I just seen it on the original Ultraman TV show for example.
      Cost a lot to heat those big spaces... so they don't. Screw the actors. 🐻‍❄

    It is nice to see more true Asian actors than in many other movies. But what a policeman! One look and he announces the man "Dead!" check a pulse at least! Very enjoyable but how cold were the studios. More old Canadian films if possibly please!

    Interesting to see James Flavin a a role on the opposite side of the law, he almost always portrays a cop/detective.

      It was filmed in Victoria, BC and I think they actually reference Vancouver Island late in the movie when the plan is revealed.
