Re: New York Times DVD Review: "Charlie Chan Collection"
Thanks, Steve.
I often wonder if the reviewers actually watch the films they review...this segment from the article makes me wonder about this writer:
"Ostensibly a chauffeur, Moreland’s Birmingham Brown character behaves more like a full partner in the Chan family enterprise. Carrying the ball for the immobile Toler, he does much of the work of clue gathering as a sort of sensible older brother to the impulsive youngster played by Victor Sen Yung"
I love Moreland in these films, but in no way is he "carrying the ball" for Toler (who's not really immobile) and he certainly is never "sensible".
