Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Eran Trece" ("There Were Thirteen")
Please join us for our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing we watch and discuss “Eran Trece” (“There Were Thirteen”), starring Manuel Arbo as Charlie Chan, in the Spanish language version of “Charlie Chan Carries On.” As this is the only surviving example of the first film in the Charlie Chan series, we are fortunate, at least, in that “Eran Trece” follows the original version very closely, giving us a good glimpse at how “Charlie Chan Carries On,” with Warner Oland, would have appeared. In this picture, Charlie Chan “carries on” for his good friend Inspector Duff of Scotland Yard, as he searches out the identity of a ruthless killer who stalks an around-the-world tour.
We begin, as usual, at 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time with arrivals and greetings and a trip to Virginia’s virtual beverage cart. Then, thirty minutes later, we begin running our personal copies of this very worthy film, which allows us to watch it together as our evening’s discussion progresses.
Our Chat Room is located HERE at our Charlie Chan Family Home. Please use any of the “Chat Room” links to join us.
Even if you do not happen to have a copy of our featured movie, please do join us, as you will NOT be left out of our ongoing chat and festivities. Also, as is our custom, newcomers are offered the seat of honor at our humble table.
So, let’s get together for yet another fun Monday evening as we gather to watch “Eran Trece” (“There Were Thirteen”)! (A subtitled version of this movie is found in Volume One of the 20th Century-Fox DVD set!)
