Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "The Black Camel"
Please join us for our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing we watch and discuss, as we move along on our tour through the Chan series, “The Black Camel” starring Warner Oland. This, the oldest surviving film from the series proper, shows us Charlie Chan at work in his own, Waikiki, backyard. A well-known movie star is murdered in her beach house, and it is Mr. Chan’s duty to search out the clues to determine the identity of the killer.
Note the location sights that appear during the course of this movie: Kailua Beach, Waikiki locations, Diamond Head, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and more, including a drive along the slopes of Punchbowl Hill, the location of the home of Charlie Chan and family.
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 “The Black Camel.”
