Steve, Aloha. If you haven't already I'd HIGHLY recommend reading the six original Charlie Chan novels the author wrote, and which are what first attracted the public and the film industry to demanded more Chan. They are literary greats in my humble opinion. You know the old saying, "the book was better than the movie"! I love to watch the Chan movies with my Grandchildren, who are all big Charlie Chan fans. They absolutely love the one (can't remember which) where the elevator floor drops out and the guy plunges to his death (17? floors) beneath! We all have to hang on when we get into an elevator. It's become a ritual!
Bye the way, one grandchild is part Chinese-Korean-Swede-Norwegian-Italian, and she's yet to take offense at a Swede playing the part. OK, Steve F. will call me out on this one...she's 9 yrs old :)!
