"Can fallen fruit return to branch?” – Charlie Chan
Our movie for this week’s Monday evening Chat and film viewing is “Mr. Wong, Detective,” staring Boris Karloff, as we celebrate Mr. Karloff’s birthday as well as share the movie that provided the story for last week’s “Docks of New Orleans.” It will be fun to note the similarities as well as the differences between the two pictures.
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. (If you are experiencing difficulties with Java, upon attempting to enter, please click on the “Flash” button as an alternative!) 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, Detective,” IS available at YouTube at this address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu5kuX9VX-U
NEXT WEEK: (December 1) we will be sharing “The Shanghai Chest,” starring Roland Winters.
PLEASE NOTE: “THE RETURN OF CHARLIE CHAN” ON DVD: 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 sharing as we view “Mr. Wong, Detective.”
