OUR CHARLIE CHAN FAMILY MONDAY EVENING CHAT FOR FEBRUARY 20, 2023: “Charlie Chan in Shanghai”

FROM CHARLIE CHAN: “Talk cannot cook rice.”

THIS WEEK Charlie Chan visits the land of his ancestors as he arrives in the bustling city of Shanghai. There to assist a friend, the detective soon finds himself, as well as his Number One Son, caught up in a dangerous web of drug smuggling and murder!

We will also celebrate the 94th birthday of James Hong, Number One Son in “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan” with an “extra” showing of “Blind Man’s Bluff.”

THE CHAT ROOM: Go to our “Chat Room” page, and, at the bottom of that page, click on the “Charlie Chan Family Chat Room ENTRANCE” link. You may then enter as a “Guest.”

OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION: “Charlie Chan in Shanghai” (1935; 72 minutes)

FOR IN-DEPTH INFORMATION on our film, go to “Films” at charliechan.org, then scroll down to “Charlie Chan in Shanghai.”

FEATURE SUMMARY:
Charlie Chan travels to his ancestral homeland, China, at the request of Sir Stanley Woodland, a prominent official in Shanghai, to help break up an opium-smuggling organization. When Chan is honored at a Shanghai banquet, Sir Stanley informs the detective that he has discovered some sinister activities. Before Sir Stanley can share this information he is silenced by a booby-trapped box. With Number One Son, Lee, at his side, Chan seeks to discover the secrets of the smuggling activities in Shanghai as well as the identity of Sir Stanley’s killer.

FEATURE NOTE:
Although the character played by Frederik Vogeding is listed as “Burke” in the onscreen credits, he is called “Ivan Marloff” throughout the dialogue of the film.
