Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Shadows Over Chinatown"
October! Fall is fully upon us as we continue along on our journey though the Charlie Chan film series. Our film for this week’s Monday Evening Chat and Film Viewing will be “Shadows Over Chinatown” starring Sidney Toler and featuring Victor Sen Yung in his return as Number Two Son, Jimmy, and yes, Birmingham Brown is there, too! In this adventure, Chan and company help to find the killer connected with a gruesome series of murders. (If you have the new “Charlie Chan Collection” from Warner Brothers, you will have a wonderful, CLEAR copy of “Shadows Over Chinatown” for viewing!)
FILM NOTES: This film's working titles were “Corpus Delecti” and “The Mandarin's Secret.” “Shadows Over Chinatown” featured the return of Sen Yung (Victor Sen Young) as Charlie Chan's Number Two Son, whose last previous appearance had been in “Castle in the Desert” (1942).
Please join us in our Chat Room which is located at our Charlie Chan Family Home: www.charliechan.info, and use any of the “Chat Room” links to join us. We begin with arrivals and greetings at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and we roll our personal copies of our film exactly 15 minutes later (8:15).
Even if you cannot access a copy of the above-noted film, please do join us anyway, as you will NOT be left out of our ongoing chat and festivities. Also, as is our custom, newcomers are offered the seat of honor at our humble table. Many of our films, such as this week’s entry, may be found available for viewing online through such outlets as YouTube, etc. Sorry…this week we have the sad news that this film is NOT available at YouTube…
NEXT WEEK (October 14) we will be viewing “Dangerous Money.”
CC ON DVD: If you have not already done so, please consider ordering your copy of the new “Charlie Chan Collection” Warner Brothers box DVD collection! The best price I have found thus far is from Amazon.com at $28.79 with FREE postage! Hawaii Steve notes that this collection may be purchased at Oldies.com for $21.80 plus postage! So, get yours now!
Take care, have a restful day off, and let’s all get together as we watch “Shadows Over Chinatown.”
