I can never get enough of detectives. Charlie Chan, Mr Moto, Sherlock Holmes, Mr Wong, Nero Wolfe, Sam Spade, Marlowe, Thin Man etc . A pleasure and privilege to still be able to see these great films.
i have had a few on Paper! the mr moto novels better. the sam spade, "the operative"... one Operative was the novel that becsme Yojimbo w kurosawa / mifune, and the good the bad and the ugly..... ! homeless now library Lost...
How true.
Wow looking forward!!!!!! Thank you so very much!
You should check out the detective Dee movies
I agree 100%
I've watched each Charlie chan movie at least 10 times and can keep on watching them forever, they never seem to lose their simple charm and humour
You too too
I agree.I love Charlie
I love them too especially when Mantan Moreland is in them. He is such a joy to watch
what a relief like those cigarettes !
Got u beat. Try over 100 times each. Sometimes watch same ones more on same day and usually about everyday 🙃. Been watching for years. So much better than the movies today
I could watch Charlie Chan movies over and over and enjoy them again
At the end of this movie Jimmy (Victor Yung) gets drafted into the Army. In real life he served as an Air Force Captain of Intelligence. Impressive.
Great movies doesn't get any better

Very interesting. Thanks for that bit of info. Quite a few actors became skilled intelligence agents, Leslie Howard for example. He gave his life for Britain.
Obviously, Victor was a good deal more intelligent than "Jimmie!"
My mother and I would watch Charlie Chan movies all the time I miss her so much but Charlie's movies make me remember all the time we spent together watching Charlie Chan
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.
Not so low budget as they travel a lot and the decor is luxurious!
This is clear, crisp picture. The audio is perfect.
I first watched these shows as a pre-teen and now watch them as a mature adult never gets old love Charlie Chan movies
This is a very entertaining "Charlie Chan" movie. It is enjoyable to watch with a good audio and a crystal clear print.
tonight i am watching 1941 charlie chan in rio..i watch this so many times this is one of his best films..
They don't make movies like these anymore. It's a shame.
"coffee and cigarettes" sounds like a recitation of popular vices,.........alcohol, weed etc.
I used to watch these with my Dad on Sunday afternoons - it really reminded me of him and our time together. Thanks
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
Thanks so much for these movies! They're my favorite, the clothes,the decor. I'm addicted!!!
Used to watch them with my grandma in the '60s!
+Suzan Morton I keep looking for more !
Herschel was the costume designer for this flick. His single name jumps out of the lead-in credits (much shorter crew lists back then) of some 150 "b-grade" movies of a similar genre as this from the 30s to 50s. He died in his early 40s.
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!
Great movie! All the Charlie Chan movies are so enjoyable.
What a great relief No commercials Thanks a lot
@@Buddy9040 The only difference between 'porn movies' and the garbage that's coming out of Hollywood today is the size of the budget.
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.
+Carlotta Thompson I couldn't agree with you more. I can remember my parents going out for an evening out and dressing a bit elegantly. Dad in a suit and mom decked out to the "nines".
The forties,fifties and the early sixties were another time.
+Chuck Berger And I couldn't agree with you and Carlotta more! I won't even go to the movies these days. I'm not going to pay good money to see shootings, explosions, almost everything computerized, and unnecessary foul language. Thank heaven we can find wonderful stuff like this on RUclips. I'm also a Mr. Moto fan!
+Carlotta Thompson BOY DO I AGREE WITH YOU!
+Brenda Williams Me, too! Those were the days of grace and charm. They really DON'T make movies like they used to, and it's a great pity, but at last we have all these classics on RUclips. Keep on enjoying!
Get OFF the damn Soap Box! It's a charlie Chan film...NOT A HILARY FOR TERMINATION OF INNOCENT STATE DEPT. PERSONNEL OR INNOCENT SOLDIERS..OHH!..IT'S ALL IN HER 2ND HAND E-MAIL ACCOUNTS...COUGH, COUGH...LMAO...
Fantastic remastering! Love the Charlie Chan movies!
How wonderful to see a young Victor Jory! He was always such a great actor. And to see him along with my favorite Charlie Chan is a double treat. Thank you.
Jory was (apparently) a wrestler early in his career: you'd never have guessed.
Victor Jory had such a distinctive voice!

oliver warmflash: You must have the same book that I purchased many years ago........"The Sayings of Chairman Chan" (or something like that).
thank you: a wonderful collection. at 69 yrs old i am a charlie chan beginner lucky me. i remember already quite a few of your charlie's wisdom. they Do stick.
my worry is What do i do after i have watched them all ‽ i likely will buy the original novels -- i had one book w Five Mr Moto original novels better than the movies now homeless library Lost .. : )
Slippery man sometimes slips in own oil.
"Ancient ancestor once say, “Even wise man cannot fathom depth of woman’s smile.” (The Shanghai Cobra)"
Wise men doesn't mean knowledgeable womenwise, so stupid saying.😂
tonight its cold and it's snowing here,so i wish i was in RIO..this is one of his best film..LOVE THE 1941 LOOK........
Thanks BSH! That's one of the best Charlie Chan movies I've seen.
Thanks for sharing your treasure. Ur the best, haven’t turned on the television since I discovered Charlie Chan’s series.
Thanks for the post. I always appreciate it when people post movies I can watch over and over.
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).
Toler and Oland. played their roles to perfection, given the era. As far as I am concerned, there is NO other Chan's, worth my time.
Toler had a better sense of humor...or a better way to cover the comment or lighter expression
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.
One. I had not seen before. Clear film . nice audio. Thanks for uploading.
Sidney Toler was absolutely perfect as Charlie Chan.
I love these guys....I am going to keep watching them over and over..thanks for the uploads, have a great day!
Michael Hollier Me too.
Me three
Have you checked out the Mr. Wong series (Boris Karloff), Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre), The Falcon (George Sanders & his brother Tom Conway), or The Saint (also George Sanders)?
I routinely juggle Charlie Chan movies (Oland/Toler), Mr. Wong (Karloff) and Mr. Moto (Lorre) movies.
@@HannibalFan52 ...Warren William was a detective about ten times ...So was Warner Baxter.
I could binge watch Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes and Perry Mason all the time. I love the black & white era so much more than the current movies with the awful language and violence.
👍
Just dicovered Charlie Chan. What a pleasant experience!
Always enjoyed the Charlie Chan Flicks with Oland and Toler. Also both the Mr. Wong and Mr. Moto series. Thanks for posting.
Chuck Berger Thanks for mentioning Mr. Moto. He didn't get nearly the number of films as Charlie Chan, but Peter Lorre was superb. If there are any Chan fans who haven't seen Mr. Moto, they should check them out.
+Bfdidc Loved Lorre as Mr. Moto as well as Karloff as Mr. Wong. Both superb actors.
+Chuck Berger Boris Karloff had such a smooth voice, tho, there is a very slight lisp.
+Bfdidc Peter Lorre hated playing the role of Mr. Moto. He didn't even acknowledge those films later on in life..
Loved Lorre as Mr. Moto.
Best line from CHARLIE to JIMMY..." Biggest Mistakes made in History by people who didn't Think."
How about the Chan line from another of these movies; "trouble, like first love, teach many lessons".
Exactamundo!!!!
i read your comment the exact time he said it....that was freaky
Welcome to Trump's "America"
Or by people who thought too much (of themselves to start with).
This is my 3 rd viewing, Love these , Thank You, honorable poster.
Best-quality print of this that I've seen.
Many years ago I worked at an Old Time dance (1960's). A Charlie Chan movie started at about half past midnight. 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. I NEVER FOUND OUT WHO DUN IT!!! And here it is just after midnight and tired agin BUT with You Tube I can watch the move AFTER I have had a good sleep. Thank heavens for You Tube.
You seem to refer to "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan" half-hour TV crime dramas (produced in 1957) with J. Carrol Naish as and "updated" Chan with James Hong as his Number One Son. These are really nice in my opinion, and were often shot at least in part on location throughout Los Angeles, England, and Europe. A few of these pop up on RUclips on occasion, and the entire collection of 39 episodes can be purchased over the Internet.
velcroman11, thanks for the interesting comment. And Rush Glick, thanks for that info. I never heard of that tv series. Nice to know it can be purchased. Where? eBay?
That's the way i was at 4 p.m. when the Dark Shadows soap opera was on.
Iris Wong was one of the better foils for Jimmy Chan. I liked her bubbly attitude and cute smile.
She's a doll-liked her also in 'Charlie Chan in Reno'. Mama Chan would have loved to have her for a daughter-in-law.
Me, too. I would much rather have had her in future films than Mantan Moreland.
According to imdb, she appeared in three Charlie Chan films:
"Charlie Chan in Rio" (1941, as Lili)
"Charlie Chan in Reno" (1939, as Choy Wong)
"Charlie Chan in Honolulu" (1938, as Tao Chan)
@@jamesanthony8438 That's funny. I just checked IMDB and it said she was in 2 Chan movies.
I just double checked. It says only 2 in the biography but lists 3 Chan movies at the bottom of the page.
Excellent quality video, thanks!
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.
Thanks for sharing. I've been searching for this along with a few others. Avid CC fan.
Definitely another excellent movie to watch on a Friday night! Thank you!!
this is one of the best Charlie Chan movies
Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful movie!
Thanks for upload! Great old shows
love this movie one of the best charlie chan movies,,love that era of class and dress..thoses where the days when movies where enjoyable to watch without the bad words.
I AM ONLY GOING TO WATCH THESE MOVIES 10 MORE TIMES EACH. I luv em♡♡♡♡♡♡
Love his movies. My favorites when I was growing up. Always like him saying, Number One Son.
Ever time I have watched this classic movie - like twenty times - in the first scene, I keep waiting for Carmen Miranda to come on stage and sing.
Charlie Chan is the man.
When you're looking for someone who can, call Charlie, Charlie Chan!
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. 🎬🎥🥂
What a beautiful clear version of the film. I wonder what it would have been like living in those days when everything was just black and white, and gray. Very different from today.
😘😎💜🙃😳
I get the impression they dressed loudly in real life. Maybe just louderly.
With this virus, these movies keep up peoples spirits. Charlie Chan, though, always keeps peoples spirits up.
According to current doctrin of political correctness these movies "should be" removed because the stereotypical depiction of a chinese MIGHT offend someone.
Just Marxist Cancel Culture today 24/7 BS? Get Woke go Broke & especially Hollyweird!!!
I totally agree with you.🥂
@@Muck006 If they think everything is racist, they sure don't need to watch any good movies.
Oh, I love the non-PC statements.
"Sweet wine often turn nice woman sour."
"Pretty girl like lap dog, sometimes go mad."
Its only a matter of time until they get edited ...
@@Muck006 Maybe. But the old stuff will still be available. No biggee.
Fantastic screen quality which is always a delight
Another great picture show!
They certainly dressed very well in those days, yes not your everyday people but the well to do in these movie establishments but they certainly put the so called well dressed people of today to utter shame. Very fashionable elegant and sophisticated. 8:30 what a beautiful dress.
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.
The stunning Kay Linaker {who plays assistant Helen Ashby} later went on to co-write the screenplay for "The Blob" and died at age 94.
a movie that haunted my childhood... but was it really strawberry jam?
I have been a fan of the 1930-50's mystery movies for most of my long adult life. Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, Hercule Poirot, The Saint, The Thin Man, The Falcon, and Boston Blackie, are the ones that I like the best, but there many others that I have enjoyed as well. I also enjoy the serial type movies of the same era, such as Flash Gordon, Ace Drummond, Sky King, Mystery Squadron, The Perils of Pauline and alot more.
A lot
wow, over 1 million views! and yet so many would say there is no market for older films
One of my favorite, thank you
This is one of my favorite Charlie Chan films. It also seems to be a fairly close version of a former Chan film "The Black Camel" from the early thirties. Same plot but Camel was filmed on location in Honolulu and has great shots of the scenery.
Awesome Video.. One of the BEST Ive seen here on RUclips..
The AVGN sent me here, I'm so glad to see Charlie Chan is far from forgotten
Love these old movies. These ladies had class. I'm afraid this quality is gone for a while.
What goes around comes around.....We hope
toroon01 001 I certainly hope so; but I fear not unfortunately. At least we have these Movies to last a lifetime & beyond.
Unfortunately I’m afraid those days are never going to return.Holley wood jumped the shark years a go.We only have the old movies and our dreams.
Toroon
I beg to differ
Petty jealousy is unbecoming
Thank for sharing :)
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.
B Wayland The song Lola dances and a later song she sings , was also sung by Don Ameche and Carmen Miranda in a movie they did with Alice Fay
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 RUclips 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
Elizabeth K. Liz Noble i guess they were too chicken to use fowl language you turkey
Dave Hallett -so she can’t spell. Big Deal!
I'm never sure what cluck/cluck/quack/quack means.
My top 5 are:
1. Reno
2. Rio
3. Castle in the Desert
4. Treasure Island
5. at the Opera and Panama (tie)
So great to be able to watch Charlie again. Loved these movies as a youngster. Then the kids tickets where 13c about 75 yrs. ago. How old am I ? None of your bees wax!! LoL
I must watch Reno, Castle In The Desert, Treasure, and At The Opera and Panama. Thanks for your list.
Thanks for sharing.
Big Charlie Chan fan, thanks for the movie
Loved it for a second time. Thanks.
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.
Another excellent Chan movie. Get so much pleasure from tham. Thanks to whoever made it/them available. England, December, 2023.
And I really meant it. Regards and thanks. December, 2023.
Its been a long time seeing the great CC. I throught there was one where num 1 an 2 son helped, along with his familiy, but I could be wrong. Love CC at all times.
Yes, there was. It was one of the last ones made with Roland Winters. The title just won't come out!
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.
There was one like that, but I don’t remember the name.
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. 😄😄👍👍
I enjoy all three Chan, Moto, and Wong. Wish I could see Thin Man.
there's plenty of Thin Man on regular RUclips
Sydney Toler is fantastic as Charlie Chan. Vintage movies are great entertainment. Thanks
Cynthia Ballard Toler is great. I like Warner Oland as well.
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 these movies.
Jimmy looks like he is enjoying himself :)
Pour a cup of coffee, light up a cigarette, and enjoy this mystery.
One of my favorite Charlie Chan movies.
Classic!! I love charlie chan movies 🤗
My 5th favorite charlie chan movie-watch a master at work.feb2020.
So nice .. no cussing or exposed body parts .. nice stories lines ..good taste
I regret there are not tons more of these films!!
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."
Michael Mantle although it s a remake of the 1931 (same year as dracula) The bĺack camel with bela lugosi in the victor jory role. Also the soùnd era debut for robert young
HH was a remarkable intellectually gifted student but chose acting in B programmers instead of the world of ideas and brainy pursuits
He was such a talented actor. Sadly, he died fairly young.
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.
Mary Beth Hughes was probably overjoyed to play a loud, sassy wench...instead of the usual roles.
So far I think this and CHARLIE CHAN AT TREASURE ISLAND are my two most favorites.
This is a childhood favorite especially this one
I Love The CHAN CLAN any way I Can.
All Charlie Chan's movies are enjoyable...

I’ve seen Charlie Chan more times than I’ve seen the wife. (Just kidding. 😊 wish weren’t. 😟) They have never worn out their welcome. Not for me they haven’t. Thanks for this great quality upload.
LOVE THIS MOVIE I AM WATCHING IT TODAY..LOVE THE CAST AND CHARLIE WAS AT HIS BEST
All great movies!!!
Love these old Charlie Chan movies
Had to laugh "Bring strong drink for the honorable lady. Coffee."
The dialogue between Charlie and #2 son had me ROFL!!!!
They got a lot of coffee in Brazil.

That actor is just as great a capt of police in Rio as he is in France ;) - did that other actor say they were in Mexico? Love this one. great archetypes, but it feels too short.
"SWEET WINE OFTEN TURN NICE
WOMEN SOUR," another Charlie Chan observation.
B Wayland I go to use that line.
One of the best Chan movies.
