Re: This Week: "Eran Trece"..."There Were Thirteen"...Monday Evening, January 8!
Rush, in a somewhat related issue, I remember a discussion years ago on the "Charlie Chan Message Board" about a Mexican-made Chan film. This movie is also in Spanish dialogue, and is apparently not "lost". Someone claimed to have seen it on a South American TV station in the past. Do you know anything about this film?

Dear John,
First, I apologize for the delay in desponding, as I missed your post.
There are two other Spanish language films based on Charlie Chan that I know of, and the information, at least what is available, can be seen at our "Other Charlie Chan Films" section at out site.
The first was a Cuban-made movie, "La Serpiente Roja" ("The Red Serpent") from 1937 with a "cousin" of Charlie Chan, Li Chan Po. You can see a trailer for this film at: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7sjw8ApPGxhaFNwdExQdFMyUUk/view
The other is the Mexican production, "El Monstruo en la Sombra" ("The Monster in the Shadows") from 1955.
