Re: Purchase of Charlie Chan Movies

Dear Richard

There is a dramatic difference between the DVD's for sale from the studios and the third party copies which are sometimes barely watchable. Your best bet is to get the 5 volumes from fox and the 6 disc Chanthology from MGM then wait for Warner Bros to put out its set of Monogram Chans early next year(from the original nitrate negatives they say.)You may be able to get the entire 40 film series on commercial DVD by next year. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. These third party copies are, for the most part, junk. Yes you may pay a little more for the studio produced versions but it's without a doubt a better investment.
