Re: Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Dark Alibi" (8PM, ET)

JaninPenna
I'm new here. Nice to find this site and an active board.

Having watched the other Chan films over and over I was excited to get my TCM set but I am a bit disappointed in Dark Alibi. Still, the viewing party sounds like fun.


Welcome to the site Janin

I felt that way, somewhat, with the movie The Trap (although, any Charlie Chan movie is fine by me!). I like Dark Alibi, though. I like the humor in the movie also.

There's a chat every Monday on this site, if you'd like to join in. It's a fun time with very nice people.

Yes, welcome to you, JaninPenna. You will have fun here, especially if you are seriously a Chan fan.

RChanFan we like "Dark Alibi", too. It is a tour de force for Mr. Morland, between his meetings with Mr. Carter and trips to that warehouse.

I agree. After watching it last night during the chat, it reminded me of how I liked the humor in the dialogue. There are some great lines in there. Also as you stated, Birmingham doing what he does best. Plus, Birmingham, Ben Carter, and Charlie at the end!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I probably am what you would call a serious Chan fan so I'll be seeing you nice folks on here.

I will also view Dark Alibi a few more times so I can spot the humor, as it escaped me with the first viewing.

I agree, even if it's not great, it's still Chan.

I gave it a 2nd viewing and it improved. :>)

I thought I recognized one of the monsters that Birminham Brown bumps into in the warehouse.

Do you know if they used old movie props for that scene?

Oops

I was having some connection problems earlier last night and after looking over this post of mine, I noticed that the last part of my message was missing..I must've forgotten to retype it.

So to finish up that post, I also wanted to say:

"And there's also a lot of nice people on the message board here as well. So hopefully will see you around Janin, either on the board or in the chatroom"

Sorry about the delayed edit
