I hope that you folks enjoyed "The Return of Charlie Chan" with Ross Martin.
As a die-hard Chan fan, I own a DVD of this made-for-TV film. I thought the writers and producers (Jack Laird and Gene R. Kearney) did a respectful job of bringing a connection from the old film series to this modern-day Chan film.
Regarding the acting, I would put Mr. Martin's interpretation of Chan slightly above that of Roland Winters and J. Carrol Naish.
For me, the film (and the story) worked. I liked it.
