I just received the following email message from David Hummel at WHT:
Rush,
I was in error. Fox still holds the licenses on those Chan movies. All we have is some Mr. Moto and Mr. Wong movies. Sorry for the mistake. I saw all the Charlie Chan movies in theaters when they were first released. Many fond memories.
Sorry for the false hopes. Mr. Moto and Wong are the best we can do now. Hope you are not too disappointed.
Dave Hummel
I emailed Mr. Hummel back restating my profound hope that WHT will soon be able to gain the necessary permission to air Charlie Chan movies. I believe that they should be able to do so, especially as they seem to have done so regarding Mr. Moto from 20th Century-Fox. So, please do let David know that there will be a very eager audience awaiting Charlie Chan while we will definately enjoy their showings of Messrs. Moto and Wong.
