- Alan Colby reappears after a seven year absence, only to be murdered before he can claim his inheritance. The Lowells have been living off the Colby fortune, and now someone is trying to kill Henrietta Lowell, the matriarch of the family. Among the suspects are Prof. Bowen (who is paid handsomely by the Lowells for his valuable psychic research), Fred and Janice Gage (who live off the Lowell fortune, which would have gone to Alan Colby), Prof. Bowen (who is paid handsomely by the Lowells for his valuable psychic research), Ulrich (who had a longstanding grudge against Alan Colby), Mr. Phelps (the executor of the Lowell estate) and Henrietta Lowell herself (who wants to continue psychic research) ...

Watch this growing up ...love old movies....can't beat them ..
Film from 1936. He looks so youthful. Miss both Warner and Sidney - both were wonderful as Charlie.
love these old Charlie Chan movies. the remind of my parents when we were all kids and watching them on tv.can not get enough of them.
@@remmymafia3889 Actually Black Camel is the oldest surviving film. The first Charlie Chan movie with Warner Oland was Charlie Chan Carries On (made earlier the same year in 1931), and it among 3 other of the Oland movies are lost films, which is very unfortunate.
Same for me. My dad loved these films.
My father hated me
@@dwightpowell6673 Your father hated me too
I remember Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes, Dick Tracy, The Shadow all on radio, actually really enjoyed it.
I can hardly wait for the next show of Charlie chane. I like the old ones of Charlie Chan. They are my favorite mystery stories. I hope you keep them on .
I love the movies of Charlie Chan. I hope you keep them going.
Such an extraordinary movie, with a suspense in all the strings of the web, as Charley Chan would say. He's a great actor, and I would've loved to visit that quirky house! By day 😁
I like black and white film. Watching this in color would take something away from it.
American sitting in my home in the Philippines at 330am watching this. I find it so comforting. A flash from my childhood. Thank you.
It’s very calming indeed,
Hope your still doing good and enjoying the movie
Necessity is mother of invention, but sometimes stepmother of deception...ha! Good one!
I use to watch these on Saturday and Sunday on wgn in Chicago. I always loved them.
Chi-town! WGN TV and radio were full of burgeoning talent, like director William Freidkin
Same here except wgn aired in Alabama... could even watch there local news ! Always wondered why we could watch a local channel outta Chicago! Watched some awesome old shows ... thx !
Used to watch wgn down in Kentucky , and we only had 3 local channels out of Nashville , but could get a channel from Chicago.
I love the early Charlie Chan movies with Oland and Keye Luke. They were more serious in style than the later series with Toler. Luke as #1 son Lee, was shown to be smart, helpful, there was light humor but not slapstick. In the Toler series, his sons were shown more as fools, with more foolish sidekicks. Willie Best and Mantan Moreland were fine comedic actors, but very underrated. Victor Sen Young was OK as son Jimmy, but Benson Fong as son Tommy was the worst. Best and Moreland were added to the series to attract the African-American audience, with great success.
Toler was a great Chan, different from Oland. Warner Oland had a gentle controlled elegance, while Toler had a more blue collar, common demeanor.
All were very entertaining films. Wish there were 100 more.
yes what you say is true, tho I very much like them both equally, I like Toler
This is my very favorite Charlie Chan movie, ever. I've seen most of them, I think, and it's the best. Love Warner Oland!!! I am third generation Swedish and fascinated by the fact that he is Swedish too. He's so awesome … he was an alcoholic, and it killed him in the end. I hope somehow he knew the pleasure he gave us all through the years. Just a wonderful character actor. Thank you again for the movies.
i did not know he was Swedish i am also Swedish and i have loved his movies for 50 years
I would love to know how he looks without the Charlie Chan make-up he has on.
In my opinion he was the the best Charlie Chan, and he even looked Chinese when made up. He was great at speaking the way they do too. I loved all of the Charlie Chan movies, they were great entertainment for the masses of people, that's for sure!
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 He was wearing less makeup than you'd think. He was actually part Mongolian! His eyes were his own. He was very serious about Charlie and put a lot of effort into authenticity, even learned to speak Cantonese. He was welcomed in China and very much loved.
It's probably not just the alcohol. People smoked like crazy in those years, and the cigarettes weren't even filtered. There was no big stigma against tobacco back then. Didn't he die of lung cancer at 58? EDIT: I read it was Pneumonia. Still, Alcoholism couldn't have helped.
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 Warner Oland was in some other movies in the 30s, such as "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back" (1934.) That's one of the only 1930s Drummond movies I haven't watched, and it's also a great series. Most of them are public domain now, I don't know if that one is. The series is about a WWI Veteran who's tired of civilian life, so he decides to willingly go after crime - at first, that is, and then it kind of just falls into his lap without his trying. There's some adventure and comedy in them (typically,) and also a real great English Butler who's not afraid of adventure while being as properly English as you'd expect a butler to be.
Mind, you should probably watch "Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police" or "Bulldog Drummond's Bride" to start out. A few of them can seem a bit dated by now, such as the 1929 movie, or the one where someone takes his place since he was in a car wreck, or the Africa one. But it's still an enjoyable series.
That was so fun. Brings back great memories of watching Charlie with my family.
When the old lady says to the butler, "You don't think. You THINK you think...I think." Folks forget, or don't know, that there are TWO great bridges across San Francisco Bay. In this film, one can see a great shot of the (still under construction) Bay Bridge in the first ten minutes. You can tell that it is NOT The Golden Gate Bridge because of Treasure Island in the middle of the bay. The Golden Gate was completed in 1933 while the Bay Bridge opened to traffic in 1936. This wonderfully clean and crisp print made me a subscriber, especially since I had never seen it before. It's one of the most complex CC movies I have seen.
The Bay Bridge came partly from an idea by Emperor Norton and should bear his name.
Trivia::the color of the Golden Gate Bridge is called "" International Orange"".
@@drohegda Which of course doesn't mean that Marin County is in Canada!😀
Whenever the lights go dim in a Charley Chan movie someone dies. But there's some seriously good shots in this movie.
Years ago, 1967-68, in sunny Ventura, CA, they would show Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes on Sunday afternoons.
The look on Bowen's face is the exact expression of a guilty man!
All Charlie Chan movies are good.
This one ranks as one of the better ones.
Everytime I see this movie the butler is just as funny as birmingham and chattanooga as they be helping with cases,too funny😂😅😁😃😄😆!!!
Love watching Charlie Chan
Love charlie chan and most blw mysteries. Been a fan for fifty years ❣ they cant come close now days because to worried about pc Bs. Instead of making a great movie!! Almost 100 years and look how much Hollywood has lost just in talent? compared to these that were made early in the industry!!?? Its To bad but thank god we have these oldies :)))) just love them
Theres a calmness in watching these old movies. It keeps your interest without making you nervous . Films today can't seem to capture the flavor of older movies.
That's exactly why I love them too. They're fun, but soothing in some strange way; for me, Warner Oland is just the best. I wish I could have met him. He was a really fascinating person who unfortunately developed alcoholism and died while they were making "Charlie Chan in Monte Carlo" or right after it. One of my favorite early horror movies also includes Mr. Oland: Henry Hull's "Werewolf of London." They're both such gems.
I always watch a classic mystery movie or listen to the classic radio mysteries( there are great ones on here) when I need to be soothed it makes me feel safe and comfy cozy like none of the newer shows or movies can this one is no exception. Thank you for the upload
God bless the golden oldies
New ones are selling something that's empty from the outside, but these old ones improved the person on the inside.....humor, values, relationships are consistent. The calmness is great. Unlike today not everyone in the old movies are know it alls
@@emilyolson5125 l
Thank you! I love this one!!!
i like this charlie chan,, fun to watch.. hanks for uploads
Love watching these. Wish there was something like this still...keep watching over & over...know some of the lines! Like both actors.
Love this old movies like charlie chan kept you guessing until the end
Movies today are tasteless with no chacterization..boring. The old films offer so much more pleasure.
I saw this movie many many moons ago, but didn't realize it until it was about half way through. I couldn't remember who the guilty person was nor any details or why they did it. So I watched it clear through to end and was not dissapointed.
Great movie. Thanks for upload!!
"When tasting soup of crime, use long spoon."
Mrs. Lowell says 'be quiet Baxter', 'nonsense Baxter', 'get the door Baxter', 'yes Baxter', and 'you think 🤔 you can think Baxter'. Baxter is really the star of this show.
'Be quiet Bavter',
This is so good like my 20th time. So sad Allen was killed & wait till you see how he catches the culprit. It will make your hair stand. Another brilliant work by Charlie Chan & writer Is it Earl Digger Biggs? Just genius their minds how they connect all the pieces. I love them all & Keye Luke is my favorite. The circus with all his 12 children, love the boy when they're packing for Arizona. He has his little robe on h says "daddy here's your shoes". The cutest voice & child. A little button want to eat him up. Circus is a goodie. Great ending. Thank you, your humble servant , francis
The way Bowen has his googleing eyeballs looking around suspiciously, makes him look guilty as all hell.
i like both Charlie Chans - each has his own flavor.
Still like Keye Luke son the best though :}
Good episode and very clear.
Charlie is surely one brave dude.
Good old television movies right here,
Charlie Chan was the best of the best, when it came to his movies. Miss these type of movies and I wish they could be still be showing on regular television again.
Forget about that downloading and that streaming and stuff, give us television the way it used to be back then fun and enjoyable, oh yeah relaxing too
Channel WGN. Where you could watch Sherlock one week and Charlie the other at 12noon in the mid 1980's. 💘 Love both of them.
Charlie Chan movie like slow moving train. Takes forever but when it hits you you still feel the impact.
Funny stuff, but like arrow that hit bullseye, on point.
@@vernalc2449 Your comment is Same as female ballet dancer also on point
@@63bplumb HAHAHAHA! Love it when people know how to play the game!
@@vernalc2449 Game is easy when number one son throw underhanded.
@@63bplumb Kmsl! Like quill of porky-pine, EXCELLENT point!
i loved the butler in this movie. i remember him from Robin hood.
Herbert Mundin
Herbert Thomas Mundin; a prolific character actor of the 1930's (*See Lord Jim; but most notably Mutiny on the Bounty / David Copperfield / The Adventures of Robin Hood ) was in over 50 films
.
I wish they would make movies such as thes the new movies they make now can’t compare to the older ones
14:05 - the butler - whoever he is he's hilarious - love him :}
That's Herbert Mundin.
Herbert Mundin--he's terrific as Much, the Miller's Son, in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938)
there is more than one CC. but the show has to be good. I like both c chans. They both have the right flavor in mysterys.
A decent print! Hurrah!
Yeah, and WITHOUT captions!
Excuse please!
First time I've seen Charlie worried.
The butler did it ... stole the show, I mean. Wonderful character.
Unfortunately he died in a car crash at the age of 40. A gifted character actor😥
Drusilla Delp I see now the reason Baxter ended up in the jungle with Jane and Tarzan, he had enough of the old lady and Charlie Chan.
@@drusilladelp5162 He played Much in the Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn who killed the king's deer and got caught. One of my favorite actors!
He's like a white Mantan Moreland, a great actor!
@@drusilladelp5162 Sadly, that was the unsafe reality of automobiles in those days. When the other car crashed into the one he was in, his car door didn't hold shut, and he fell out and died. I love old cars, but let's not over-romanticize them. They _were_ unsafe in many ways, such as: solid steering columns, steel dashboards, and doors that opened in collisions.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This epic is one of the best. Well they all are just another jaw drop ending. Was stunned! They cannot write like this no more!
Just a note: Very sad 😓😑 to hear about the tragic accident & death of Anne Heche. I wasn't a fan but still sad to hear such horrible news. She left quite a few children behind. They lost their 👩 Mom.🙏😓
Great fun to watch.
Charlie Chan’s secret? He’s not Chinese!
Ha ha ha ha ha! That was a good one, and I like it! Thanks
White suit on diving boat asea. What could go wong?
very good movie , great job Cinenet
Habit forming.
ONE OF THE BEST !!
I remember as a young child I couldn't wait for Sunday afternoons to arrive so I could watch Charlie Chan movies... I like both actors Sidney Toler and Warner Oland portrayal of Charlie Chan however, I prefer Sidney Toler for the reason of the comedy and lightheartedness.. ....................... ................... also love No. 1, No. 2 son he cracks me up... Pop! Pop! Poppp!!! ... lol
As good as Oland is, Toler's version is closer to the original in the Biggers stories.
Hey how about roland winters he was the third Charlie Chan!! PEOPLES least favorite but stil fun WATCHING all the Charlie Chans!!!
thanks.......
to all the comments below that refer to 2 Chans---there were 3 Roland Winters was the last after Toler and I believe he actually appeared in 6 or 7 Chan films. I'm too lazy to actually look it up now. Speaking personally he was my least favorite---a dour, sarcastic Chan.
I don't think I've ever seen a Roland Winters playing a Charlie Chan movie. I don't know what he looks like.
As for the 1930 - 1949 series, Warner Oland was in 16 Charlie Chan movies (movies 1, 3, 4, and 5 are lost.)
Sidney Toler was in 22.
Roland Winters was in 6.
Just love these movies!! Sherlock Holmes 2 and mr moto was PRETTY good 2 lol and love BLACK and WHITE movies it does something that colored movies can't do!!
UR a man after my Heart 💓💓💔😭
@@sharonjohnson1702 to all and one the most important thing that catches my attention, He speaks often about his family. You can tell he loves them and also they respect him.
I love how the main detective at the end, orders the scam duo to 'leave town'. Wow- so easy to show the criminals the door, and tell them basically to count their blessings- and that's a warning, next time, lock them up. Simple.
i posted that because some folks thought they were. I know one was Scandinavian, cant remember offhand which, they were just great at their craft!
Charlie Chan's secret? He's Swedish! I still Love the movies though.
Me too!!'
His real name is Charlie Chanson, by Yiminy.
I love the shot of the Golden Gate Bridge under construction when Charlie was flying into San Francisco.
That's the incomplete Bay Bridge that opened in 1936. The Golden Gate was already completed. (The best way to tell is the island (Treasure Island) in the middle that will support part of the bridge. the Golden Gate has only two towers that hold the cables that support the roadway.)
@@vernalc2449 Sorry Virgil, the movie was release in '36 and the bridge opened in '37'.
@@roydean1137 I got a little dyslexic. The Bay Bridge actually opened on November 12, 1936, didn't it? The movie has a copyright of 1935, so it may not have been released until '36.
@@vernalc2449 You got the bridge right but the opening of the Golden Gate bridge was officially on May 27th 1937 and the movie opened on Jan 10th 1936.
@@roydean1137 you are correct! I must quit relying on my memory! Construction BEGAN in 1933 on the Golden Gate.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Lowell started talking, instead of keeping quiet, when the murderer crept into the seance room, looking very suspicious and guilty !!!
Awesome movie! Ty
My God! Charlie Chan could start his own population explosion!
Great! All the mystery of a good old Charlie Chan b+w movie with a damn good surprise ending. I prefer this Chan (Warner Oland) to Sidney Toler. This guy is more serious. Toler's movies had too much buffoonery in them for me.
I completely agree!!! Werner seemed much more pleasant and agreeable. Whereas Toler had too much arrogance.
agree
The 'buffoonery' came from the presence of Mantan Moreland, as 'Birmingham Brown'. Moreland was great in his own element, but a Charlie Chan movie was too far a stretch.
Toler had more of a no-nonsense approach, and was more in tune with the real world. Oland was fine, but in a 1930's sense.
Sidney Toler movies the best followed by Warner Oland. Charlie Chan's Secret with Oland his best. Who would guess Oland was Swedish?
i think it was Warner Orland that was Scandinavian.
+Suzan Morton You're correct. Mr. Ohlund (the correct spelling) was born in Bjurholm Sweden.
Suzan Morton n
Wow ,one I haven't seen .thank you !
How I wish I could say That!!!
Still waiting patiently for the "lost" films to show up.
Nothing like 30s & 40s cinema , everything from artist to settings plot etc.. was so fresh , 50s thru present have been just replicas, thanks Charlie 😊👌👌🐈⬛🐈⬛
I have watched this episode several times,still interesting twist,but the case gets solved,except when the real man shows up alive and gets home and still gets killed in the end,a good show🤔🤔😣🙄!!!
There is a close love relationship between the butler and his mistress.
Has charlie Chan flies into San Francisco we are provided with the construction of Golden Gate Bridge
Mike Phipps that wasn't the Golden Gate, it was the Bay Bridge I believe.
Yep, the Bay Bridge with it's brief stopover on Treasure Island. I got a flat tire one time and had to pull off the bay bridge onto treasure island to fix it. Kept expecting to get booted but no one bothered me. A week or so later the 1989 loma prieta earthquake happened with all the resulting bay bridge kerfuffle (not even close to as bad as the Nimitz freeway kerfuffle which, now that I think about it I was also on after fixing my flat tire), but I was home watching the world series ;-) for all of 3 minutes. Serious rock and roll, still have a scar on my forehead to prove it when furniture started flying! I remember when they finally finished fixing the bay bridge, and they put some kind of tree or monument meant to be good luck on it. It can't be seen except perhaps by news helicopters, but the engineers and construction workers and most of us around at the time felt better for any tiny iota of luck we could summon....
@@thomsmallz5723 it was. It was completed in 1939. The Golden Gate was already completed (1933).
At 8.14 you can see the incomplete Bay Bridge being built. It opened in 1939
With a Sikorsky S-42 flying in front of it
I'm waiting for the bridge to collapse during the next big quake out there.
Wow, I just saw that! Amazing.
Amazing how many confused it with The golden Gate Bridge.
Wish we still had these movies too day.
I love them too!
Baxter is SO WIMPY it's unbelievable, plus he has NO
Common Sense Either!
I love this guy
These are the films I watched as a kid, and f you like Charlie they are as good as they were in the 50’s
a cat named lucifer? thats really funny. I've had a few that should have been named that but you cant know when they are just kittens that they will be the devils spawn. hind sight is golden.
Charlie Chan movies are
The best. They are just good clean 👌 fun!!!
Warner Oland was the quintessential, I think.
Fun movies like them all
Been watching Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes movies for years on U tube must have seen them at least dozens of times each any idea on other movies like these
eddie- k Have you found the Mr. Moto films, with Peter Lorre. They are here too. I happen to be fond of them also.
The Mr. Moto films are good as @Caroline Johnson says. I also enjoy the Mr. Wong films.
Yes i have caroline Peter is also fun to watch, as is Boris Karloff in mr womg detective movies
There are a bunch. Google it. Mr. Moto, the Saint, + other detectives!
Two divers in stock photo, but only one comes up.
Captain orders take off after duke is up. They brought him up otherwise diver and weighty equipment would have been lost. Too very precious, necessary and expensive to lose. Not every sailor could dive, could survive in such bulky equipment.
@@patriciaannking8601 If they left the other diver below, it cuts their diver payroll expenses in 1/2 for the contracted divers. I bet duke is happy the decided to take him.
Charlie Chan has been a busy & prolific husband!
It's no wonder you RARELY see her in his films (CC at the Circus was one and then I remember her when they were waiting on the birth of a grandchild), she very rarely was in a vertical position!
@@vernalc2449 I think she was also in the dinner scene in "The Black Camel" (the 2nd movie made, and the oldest surviving one,) but that scene doesn't last very long.
@@vernalc2449 The second one you're thinking of, BTW, is "Charlie Chan in Honolulu," 1938. That's the first of the Sidney Toler movies.
"Baxter, the door!" What, rich people can't open doors for themselves?
They NEVER do in the movies when they have servants. I've noticed they're treated as possessions, like they weren't even there. For example, when they remove their coats/hats/gloves they just toss them to the servants without even glancing their way-no matter WHAT race they are.
So why would Alan go to the Colby House in the first place instead of their regular house?
Why didn’t Alan go to Ulrich’s hut then? Instead he went to the house to... wait for something?
@@RichardHannay To wait for the reading of the will.
Heh? Why would they do a will reading there? And how did he know there’s a will reading happening that day and time?
Is it the movies ,or is it just us ageing --- growing older ??
No sons or Mantan Moreland in this one. Quite entertaining.
...they were just building the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fran at 8:12 !
It's the Bay Bridge---Golden Gate doesn't have an island in the middle of it!
@@63bplumb and it only has two towers holding the suspension cable. That's Treasure Island, part of the Bay Bridge.
@@vernalc2449 Yerba Buena Island. Treasure Island is off to the side.

Nice and very funny lol
Warner Olund från Bjurfors i Sweden var en bra Charlie Chan.
In the film was that the Golden Gate Bridge being built in the San Francisco Bay
The Butler plays the scairdy cat to the hilt, constantly! He's afraid of his own shadow! So sorry, but when it's so over done, it ends up not being so funny, just annoying!
20th Century Fox made good Charlie Chan movies
This is a good one but I miss #1 son.
Con subtítulos, por favor. Gracias
I Love the old movies,you don't have to filter out the dirty language.
great
Getting a vibe from Charlie Chan that either his character or the actor himself ( or both) was not the biggest fan of - whitey- . But maybe thats just my own insecurities.
I have to ask, who is your favorite Charlie Chan Warner oland or Sydney toler?
Both are good. Charlie had Egg Noodle fried this movie.
Charlie Chan great detective. How does he keep pecker in pants. Big Family.
Black Buick I’m sorry I forgot to include Roland winters I have just watched his Charlie Chan series and agree that he is right up there with the others and from the abundance of great episodes really takes the cake in the contest!
Major League it’s a sport movie from 20th century Columbia.
