This week's Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Mr. Wong in Chinatown"

This week, we share the Monogram Pictures film Mr. Wong in Chinatown, staring Boris Karloff as detective James Lee Wong in the film that provided the storyline for Charlie Chan movie, "The Chinese Ring." We can all share the similarities as well as the differences that we can catch between the two versions!

So, 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 through such outlets as YouTube, etc. HAPPY NEWS…this week’s film, “Mr. Wong in Chinatown,” IS available at YouTube at this address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_mr-H10Mb8

NEXT WEEK: (November 17) we will be sharing “Docks of New Orleans,” starring Roland Winters. We will also be celebrating Mr. Winters’ birthday!

PLEASE NOTE: “THE RETURN OF CHARLIE CHAN” ON DVD: PLEASE ORDER NOW, if you are interested in purchasing a clear, clean copy of “The Return of Charlie Chan” (Universal – 1971) a made-for-TV movie starring Ross Martin as Charlie Chan (which will be our final film stop on this year’s Chan Film Tour), I can recommend a version which you will find available at: http://www.ioffer.com/i/the-return-of-charlie-chan-ross-martin-dvd-504052734. It lists for $12.00 which includes postage/handling. However, you may make a lower offer! “The Return of Charlie Chan” is this year’s final film in our journey through Chandom!

As always, have a pleasant Monday, and let’s all get together for an evening of fun and mystery as we watch “Mr. Wong in Chinatown.”

Sincerely,
Rush Glick
