Kim Newman recent Charlie Chan reviews; no concern over State Shinto Militarist Agression?

feeds@yuku.com (Scathach80) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:47:19 GMT

Kim Newman notes that the Chan films jumped on the anti-Axis bandwagon before Sherlock Holmes or Tarzan-ironic, as Chan had collaborated with the German police in his Olympics film. However, Newman noted that Chan never mentioned the onslaught of the State Shinto Militarists, whose antics may have put some of his relatives who had not emigrated in trouble (Unit 731, comfort women, etc.).

Charlie Chan's Secret

feeds@yuku.com (Lawrence Nepodahl) — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:18:44 GMT

I watched this film TWICE, within the last couple of days. The second time with the Commentary; which, by the way, was very informative. Info. about the set designer, or how this particular director used the camera, etc.. But my question is this; when Colby's body comes falling out during the seance, how was that done? The murders was completely on the other side of the room. Did he have a switch under a table or something to open the panel? Or, perhaps I missed some explaination at the...

My Chan DVD Article in Classic Images

feeds@yuku.com (Howard Berlin) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 13:27:25 GMT

Im writing this just before I'm about to leave today in a few hours for a trip to the Middle East.

At the risk of shameless self-promotion, I just received today's mail and the May issue of Classic Images, which has Part 1 of my long delayed (due to my procrastination) article on the Charlie Chan DVDs on pages 64-69, although the table of contents says page 72 (which happens to be the back page!). It is titled, "Fox's Charlie Chan on DVD - Finally!"

I may have missed this if it was posted here, but I just got my March issue of Classic Images and just discovered that Charles Mitchell, a fellow Chan author, having written "A Guide to Charlie Chan Films" plus several articles about the Oriental detective in film. He passed away suddenly January 25 at the age of 55. CI had an obit but I haven't had the time to scan it in for posting.

The Second Floor Mystery

feeds@yuku.com (haevensnacht) — Fri, 30 Jul 2004 13:29:44 GMT

For all Chan fans out there - this 1930 film based on the novel by Biggers, has been restored by UCLA Film Archive and will be getting its' first screening in 74 years this September at Film Forum in NY. It is not a Chan film, but a mystery that Biggers had written before creating Charlie Chan.
I had crossed this one off my want list a while ago because I heard it was officially lost - what a great surprise!

There is now a English Sub-Title copy of Eran Trece now available on the Gray Market. Eran Trece is the 1931 Spanish version of Charlie Chan Carries On (a "Lost" Chan film) with a cast of Spanish actors (not a dubbed Spanish version of CC Carries On).

Rush Glick from the Charlie Chan Family website is responsible for the English Script and Andy from Old Time Radio U.K. added the subtitles to the film.
