I kept changing who the murderer was every five minutes. Brilliant script, just like an Agatha Christie novel, with a little comedy. Thank you I’m loving these 💓
Thanks so much for these movies. My grandma & I used to watch them 50 years ago. I still enjoy them. They comfort me somehow with all the muck going on currently.
SuZan Morton Same here! Charlie Chan Theatre every Sunday afternoon with my Grandparents after dinner. I remember sitting on the floor in front of the floor model in the 70’s... Life was so much better then. These movies bring me joy
Thank you for showing my two favorite movie stars Sherlock Holmes and most of all Charlie Chan's movies i watch them everyday over and over. Smiling i am 67 years old and i missed the old movies but theses two stars are the best for me. Blessings to you all.
@@mike.p.1400 I have copies of all the Charlie Chans and Mr. Wong and Mr. Moto. And I make it a point to see all Sherlock Holmes...I loved the Russian ones.
@@vsedai All I remember of Burke's Law is my sister and me driving ourselves goofy imitating and giggling over that woman's insinuating voice in the intro. It wasn't a good idea for entertainment in the back seat of the car unless we wanted Mommy (or Daddy) to pull over. We also loved this thing where we'd play dress-up, stuff our blouses with curves made out of socks, use a long pencil for a cigarette, and say, "Come up and see me sometime, big boy." LOL. I don't think we even knew where that one came from. Times will never be that much side-splitting fun again. I heard not long back that my Number Three Granddaughter and her little friends, all about age 8, were seen by grownups hollering, "Shot!" and tossing back small glasses of Kool-Aid. Innocence! Where did it go?
Maybe my favorite Warner Oland Charlie Chan reply here at the 1:45-1:55 mark, when the captain tells Charlie that the reappearance after a mysterious seven year absence of Alan Colby, to claim the fortune from his father's death, much to the chagrin ("TOUGH on the Colby heirs") of the other heirs, and Charlie replies it'll be "TOUGH on Alan Colby if dead". The deliveries of these type of retorts by both Oland Warner's Charlie Chan and Sidney Toler's, are priceless.
I’m remember maybe 10 years ago there was a PC backlash about Charlie Chan as if this Chinese detective (no one actor was actually Chinese) was being denigrated. Odd as he was always the sharpest tool in the the box. I loved how his actual Asian progeny spoke English in the colloquial.
I liked Charlie chan and Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. They sometimes came on Friday or Saturday matinees or when a baseball game got rained out.Rainout Theater.I also enjoyed The million dollar movie on channel 9.I am old it doesn’t take much time or money to make me happy.I love God and people and+I miss the innocent times.Ugh oh the rose colored tint is fading off my glasses

"tough on the Colby heirs if he's alive" (so said the boat captain here, to Charlie Chan). Then, in vintage Charlie Chan style, Chan replies; "tough on Alan Colby if dead". It's great lines like this throughout all the Charlie Chan movies, that make them worth re-watching.
My daughter as a kid used to catch Charlie Chan on late night TV, and oh my dear heaven, you have never heard such uproarious laughter brought on by nothing but the idiot box in the living room. I wish I had a tape of that, or could bottle it as an instantaneous and overpowering anti-depressant. Just those gales of laughter...
Love Charlie Chan both Warner and Sydney it reminds me of the good days when I was a little girl on the weekends on Saturday or Sunday mornings watching the Charlie Chan movie
Thoroughly enjoy these movies. They used to be on Saturday and Sunday. You have a wonderful collection. Watched a Toler and an Oland Charlie, next will either be Mr Wong or Mr Moto. So many movies, so little time. Gonna also watch Blondie. Thanks for all of this.
Love the old features, not necessarily for the story or the acting or directing but because they are the mirror of the times; like you can travel back in time and see what once was...
The last except one Charlie Chan movies were made by Monogram Studios, a poverty row outfit. I actually saw an even later 1940s Charlie Chan movie made by an even lower budget studio here on You Tube. It was so cheesy. "Charlie Chan at the Opera" is considered by many to be the best.

I’ve read all the Charlie Chan books by Earl Derr Biggers - they were terrific. The early Warner Oland Charlie Chan movies were the best. Sydney Toler’s were enjoyable. I stopped watching the movies after Toler - they went from B grade to C grade. “Charlie Chan’s Secret” was one of the best of the series.
A B movie was a less expensively made movie but - like the Charlie Chan movies could be very good. A C movie is a step down from a B movie as the name implies - even less spent on the production and the actors etc - and a weaker script.
Sunday noon on WGN in the '80s: Sunday Mystery Theatre. Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes, Bulldog Drummond, occasionally The Falcon, Mr. Wong, Mr. Moto or some other obscure movie detective. A very pleasant way to spend an hour waiting for the Cubs game announced by Harry Carey and Jack Brickhouse (or switch over to the Bears game.)
I loved Warner Oland as Charlie Chan and when Lee number one son was with him. The other CC spoke strangely and had the goofiest son. Keye Luke was a talented artist who worked for the movie companies doing designs as well as acting. This movie was really good. Loved the old lady. She was a pistol. Thanks for posting this.
Just noticed the Clipper Ship flying over the partially completed Oakland Bay Bridge. The towers are up but the road bed has yet to be laid. The Golden Gate has no island in the middle so this is definitely the OBB.
Oakland Bay Bridge. Never could figure out why they referred to it as that. I guess it was short for San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. Most people now just call it the Bay Bridge.
Please accept humble thanks for posting venerable Chan classic. Even minus K. Luke and M. Moreland, w/my favorite of the 3 cinematic Chans (excluding George Kuwa, the Nipponese actor in 1926's House W/out a Key serial) Warner Orland, C. Chan's Secret is most enjoyable & not the only Chan film w/a séance.
Love all Charlie Chan movies I like all the Charlie Chan actors. What killed these wonderful movies is pc. You can't say or do anything without offending someone which is stupid. If you don't like it don't watch them. At least they aren't swearing Thank God for that.
@@MichaelGunner123 the election was not the most secure, & if you listen to Biden you will see who has a mouth piece.Now that Biden & his co hurts have screwed up this country how do you feel about it now?
It's really sad that in some circles these movies are remembered as an example of early 20th century racism. Because talk all you want about perceived stereotypes, and Chan being played by people who are not ethnically Chinese, and what that implies about casting at the time; these are still movies that came out in the mid 30's and early 40's that show a Chinese hero and his family in a favorable light, respected and well treated, not the comic relief, and often appearing less ridiculous than the white characters. These movies were, dare I say it, progressive for their time. It's almost as though political correctness doesn't understand context or nuance.
You have hit the nail on the head Charlie Chan, Mr Moto, & Mr Wong were created to show Chinese and Japanese people in a good light in opposed to the yellow peril Fu Manchu films that were so prevalent at the time.
Frankly, I get more than just a little sick and tired of the anti-White bias in today's culture. I, as a White male, have often been, and am now constantly, the victim of 'racism'. Don't forget who built this country in the first place.

Two of the best C. Chan's at the time and a classic fun an funny cast good story's. Thanks for posting to many breaks on RUclips must be nice to have money with Butler.every one living off family money .
The opening credits it says this movie is from 1935, not 1936. It doesn't really matter, it's still a great old movie! I still remember certain scenes in this movie, from my childhood, in the mid1950's, watching on Saturday afternoons! My Mothers voice in the background saying "Why don't you go outside and play!"
legion1a Many of the older movies were released different years than they were produced. There are several made just prior to Pearl Harbor that were held until after the war because emotional, ethical or the star was enlisted and attentions were directed to that effort. It was a time when the nation cared about these issues. They are wonderful movies and were crafted for distraction and entertainment. Fellow fan!
In this film (which had a very unusual-for CC-twist), Charlie's vest was like Batman's utility belt. Let's see, he pulls out a pocketknife, a gun, a flashlight, AND a telescope! OK, so the pocketknife came from his pants pocket, but it COULD have come from his vest!
You have to love the writing for Chan's vintage axioms. The boat captain says "a man walks out on a fortune seven years ago, then all of a sudden he appears from nowhere to claim it, I'd say that's a little tough on the Colby heirs, if he's alive"- and Charlie Chan replies that it's a tough on Alan Colby, if dead"-too good.
There's always someone blaming poor old Charlie Chan for 'letting' someone get killed. Because the 17 cops and other assorted officials also on the scene and guarding the victim are totally blameless.
To bad there are no new detective movies The closest to me is Colombo but they play the repeats so manny times have seen all of them To bad Colombo always hooks on to a suspect and no other suspect to investigate for the crime !Charley has many suspects it makes for suspense !
Absolutely enjoy these old "who dunnits" they're dialog is wonderful! I cannot stand the filth they try to pass off as dialog these days now!! Thank so much y'alls!😄😃.
How perfectly horrible. The villain sat up smiling, everybody clapped, and the butler went on being hilarious for nearly breaking his neck, going without sleep, being sneered at and shot to the delight of the audience until he was forgotten two-thirds or so through the show. And the villain triumphed! I could cheerfully kick this film in the can! (Just this one, cuz I love Charlie Chan.)
I bought this series online via Walmart.com...my daughter borrowed them and lost them in a move. I may have to order again; but ever so thankful they have been uploaded and shared.
Seriously, your daughter lost something of YOURS that she BORROWED. She shld 'WOMAN - UP' & replace them w a new set. That's what a REAL daughter would do. Enjoy & God Bless.
Warner Oland is so good as Charlie - just a bit of an accent - very respectful of the character. great comedic character, too.. they always do this so well in all the Charlie Chan pictures. miss Number One son though :) 😋🌷 I did know one thing at the end. just didn't fit Chan plots :)
Great. A Charlie Chan movie I had not seen before. Crisp footage and sound. Better yet the little comic relief was by Baxter the butler Not the annoying son or chauffeur who brought way to much and to long on comedy to Chan movies.
Interesting background trivia that most people today would not understand. Alan Colby was taken prisoner during The Rif War (1921 to 1926). France entered the war in 1924 after a massive attack by the Riffians that destroyed 40 of 66 French outposts in Morocco resulting in the French deployment of the famed French Foreign Legion.

These are the best Charlie Chan movies with good production values and starring Warner Oland, the best of all the Charlie Chans.
Could be better… with number one Don Keye Luke
Still love Charlie Chan after all these years.
Me too
This is the greatest of the 3 actors to play the part of Charlie Chan--Werner Oland.
Charlie Chan was always a favorite as a kid. Charlie Chan and his #1 son cracks me up
love this classic film this is one of his best classics...i love watching them on a raining afternoon...
I kept changing who the murderer was every five minutes. Brilliant script, just like an Agatha Christie novel, with a little comedy. Thank you I’m loving these 💓

My favorite line periodically in the series.............., "Hi, ya pop............" (Victor Sen Yung, No 2 son)
... and I would count that among the annoying parts of the series, because it shows the lack of maturity in "favorite son no. 1-15".
He later played the Cartwright’s cook in the tv series, Bonanza.
Love the old features, not necessarily for the story or the acting or directing but because they are the mirror of the times; like you can travel back in time and see what once was...
Except...these aren't documentaries.
Oh I always loved the old movie's they just are classics. And one thing I love is class.
Grew up watching Charlie Chan. First Warren Oland then Sydney Toler and last Roland Young. The first 2 are my favorites.
Yup, Young was by far the worst. I loved Toler the best.
roland winters not young he played TOPPER 1937.
There is one where Chan knocks on the door and busker tells him to deliver the laundry to the back door.

I recently re-read them on-line at - I believe - Project Gutenberg.
John Desmond yea. I don’t know what b and c mean either. I’ve heard of b movies. But c
I don’t know.
A B movie was a less expensively made movie but - like the Charlie Chan movies could be very good.
A C movie is a step down from a B movie as the name implies -
even less spent on the production and the actors etc - and a weaker script.
Great to watch makes me happy to see these films just so good

I guess it was short for San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge.
Most people now just call it the Bay Bridge.
The plane is the Martin 130. Only 3 were built, all of which eventually crashed with great loss of life.
Did anyone notice the Golden Gate bridge under construction at 8:14? The movie is 1936 and the bridge opened the following year.
Thought it was the Bay Harbor Bridge but I cld be wrong.

In this film (which had a very unusual-for CC-twist), Charlie's vest was like Batman's utility belt. Let's see, he pulls out a pocketknife, a gun, a flashlight, AND a telescope! OK, so the pocketknife came from his pants pocket, but it COULD have come from his vest!
~~~LOL~~~ perfectly put :) 🌷
So many good movies, yet so little time. 😕
We make time for those things we ENJOY/LIKE/DEEM IMPORTANT.
Man who say Charlie Chan is the man have big juicy steak for breaking fast.
You have to love the writing for Chan's vintage axioms. The boat captain says "a man walks out on a fortune seven years ago, then all of a sudden he appears from nowhere to claim it, I'd say that's a little tough on the Colby heirs, if he's alive"- and Charlie Chan replies that it's a tough on Alan Colby, if dead"-too good.
Charlie chan never needs help.feb2021.
Herbert Mundin as the butler, Baxter was really a gas! 😆
love Charlie Chan, Warner Oland was the first but not the last
The modesty of Chan is something one does not see in today's cops. Those pigs could learn something here.
I agree with u Cargo......change takes a little time so it does
There's always someone blaming poor old Charlie Chan for 'letting' someone get killed. Because the 17 cops and other assorted officials also on the scene and guarding the victim are totally blameless.
MrAlumni72 they are liberals
To bad there are no new detective movies The closest to me is Colombo but they play the repeats so manny times have seen all of them To bad Colombo always hooks on to a suspect and no other suspect to investigate for the crime !Charley has many suspects it makes for suspense !
Qué bien conservada están estas películas 🎥 antiguas 😮gracias por compartir y éxitos en todos vuestros proyectos y planes
Absolutely enjoy these old "who dunnits" they're dialog is wonderful! I cannot stand the filth they try to pass off as dialog these days now!!
Thank so much y'alls!😄😃.
That is Mr. Dithers from the later Blondie and Dagwood films
Not.
@@thomasokeefesr6022 what do you mean "not"
I love these movies. 😀
Great CLASSIC FILMS!
OMG this reminds me of the movie Murder by Death with peter sellers as Sydney wang.....sam spade is sam diamond....you catch the drift..
How perfectly horrible. The villain sat up smiling, everybody clapped, and the butler went on being hilarious for nearly breaking his neck, going without sleep, being sneered at and shot to the delight of the audience until he was forgotten two-thirds or so through the show. And the villain triumphed! I could cheerfully kick this film in the can! (Just this one, cuz I love Charlie Chan.)
I bought this series online via Walmart.com...my daughter borrowed them and lost them in a move. I may have to order again; but ever so thankful they have been uploaded and shared.
Your irresponsible daughter should replace them. She borrowed. She lost. She owes.
Seriously, your daughter lost something of YOURS that she BORROWED. She shld 'WOMAN - UP' & replace them w a new set. That's what a REAL daughter would do. Enjoy & God Bless.
I'm and old guy, I loved these back in the 60's, still like the old Charlie Chan
Thanks for sharing.
Warner Oland is so good as Charlie - just a bit of an accent - very respectful of the character. great comedic character, too.. they always do this so well in all the Charlie Chan pictures. miss Number One son though :) 😋🌷
I did know one thing at the end. just didn't fit Chan plots :)
Great. A Charlie Chan movie I had not seen before. Crisp footage and sound. Better yet the little comic relief was by Baxter the butler Not the annoying son or chauffeur who brought way to much and to long on comedy to Chan movies.
Excellent twist/ surprise ending
Wasn’t there another Alan Colby In a different Charlie Chan movie? How many times is this guy gonna get murdered?? Lol still love these who dunnits .
Alan Colby has a Siamese Twin, and they're joined at the script.
Lee Larson oh that explains everything. Lol
Black and white films are always more intriguing.
this is the last charllie chan movie that i have let escape me over the years,for good reason.oct2019.
the biggest secret Charlie Chan had, was half his kids looked like the milkman, Charlie was always out of town
I like it much better without Number 1, Number 2, or the daughter, or Birmingham. Here, the action was more to the point. Thank you for sharing.
Monique Cardell To tell the truth, I agree with you.
I always enjoyed it more with the sons.
Wise man once say, he who eat curry must not strike match
And man who eats many prunes gets good run for money.
Interesting background trivia that most people today would not understand. Alan Colby was taken prisoner during The Rif War (1921 to 1926). France entered the war in 1924 after a massive attack by the Riffians that destroyed 40 of 66 French outposts in Morocco resulting in the French deployment of the famed French Foreign Legion.
