I've always felt that Toler put himself into the role
of Charlie Chan with a great tenacity. He really loved
the character. Thats why he always was & always
will be My favorite actor to portray the wise detective.
If I remember correctly,in "The Scarlet Clue" Sydney Toler had to be helped down into a boat near the beginning of the movie. I would have checked on this but my VCR is on the blink.
Dear Jack,
You are perfectly correct. The two detectives Charlie meets up with near the begining of the movie, help him on to the boat. And quite a dainty little job they make of it too.
