How nice that would be. If only someone could be convinved to release the The New Adverntures of Charlie Chan shows with a little higher quality or at the very least distribute them more widely. Sat through Oldies.com or some other legitmate, non grey market.

Even if J. Carroll Naish hadn't played Charlie Chan, he still would have been famous for having been the villain of the BATMAN serial in 1943, where he was a Japanese agent out to undermine American forces.

Really? I didn't know that Naish was the villian in a Batman serial. I guess he wasn't THAT famous for it. He is know mostly for being a very well repected character actor.
