What were the two errors? Robert Osborne - TCM, Sep 20th

Humbly beg forgiveness of most prestigious keeper of honorable website for not watching TCM or being on the Monday chat. Can please divulge afore mentioned errors made by television host to this undeserving miscreant. Thank you so much. Lou

Re: What were the two errors? Robert Osborne - TCM, Sep 20th

Dear Lou,

AH...the two minor errors came during Mr. Osborne's commentary following the airing of the second Chan movie, "Dangerous Money." He stated correctly that Charlie Chan's Number One Son was played by Keye Luke, however, he continued by relating that Number Two Son was Played by Benson Fong, and that Number Three Son, whom we "saw" in "Dangerous Money" was played by Victor Sen Yung. (Actually, Number Three Son, Tommy, was referenced in "Dangerous Money" as having sent a cablegram to his Pop, while Number Two Son, Jimmy, assisted Mr. Chan in the movie.

And there you have it! Better a late reply than not-at-all...sorry!

Sincerely,
Rush
