This Week's Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "The Golden Eye"
"People who listen at keyholes rarely hear good of themselves.” – Charlie Chan
Our movie for this week’s Monday evening Chat and film viewing is “The Feathered Serpent,” staring Roland Winters as Charlie Chan with Victor Sen Young as Number Two Son…Tommy, and Mantan Moreland as Birmingham Brown. Charlie Chan is summoned to help an old friend and is soon caught up in what turns into a case of murder and mining industry intrigue!
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, “The Golden Eye,” IS available online at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5nrElecSnM
FILM NOTES: The working title of this film was The Mystery of the Golden Eye. The opening title card reads: Charlie Chan in "The Golden Eye". The Call Bureau Cast Service lists Herman Cantor and Sam McDaniel in the cast, but they do not appear in the finished film that we have available today. Copyright records list George L. Spaulding as Dr. Groves, but the role was played by Sam Flint. Richard Loo, Barbara Jean Wong, and Tom Tyler are also listed in the cast, but they do not appear in the finished film.
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!
Please have a great Monday, and let’s all get together for an evening of fun and sharing as we view “The Golden Eye.”
