This week, our journey through the Charlie Chan series takes us to the South Pacific! Please join us for our Monday Evening Chat and Film Viewing as we watch and discuss “Dangerous Money,” starring Sidney Toler, as Number Two Son, Jimmy and Birmingham’s cousin, Chattanooga Brown track down a killer who stalks passengers aboard a South Seas passenger liner. Lives are at stake as the trail becomes complicated by the presence of riches in the form of “dangerous money.”
Our Chat Room is located HERE at our Charlie Chan Family Home. Please 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 30 minutes later.
Even if you do not happen to have 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. (Many of our films may be found available for viewing online through such outlets as You Tube, etc.) Also, as is our custom, newcomers are offered the seat of honor at our humble table.
"Thank you so much," and let’s meet for yet another fun Monday evening as we gather to watch “Dangerous Money.”
PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to receive weekly email announcements regarding our Monday Evening Chats, as well as receive high-quality scanned movie still images (one per week) from our films of the week, please email us at: charliechanfamily@yahoo.com
MORE NOTES: On October 10 we will be watching and sharing a Mr. Wong film, "Mr. Wong in Chinatown." If you do not yet have the Mr. Wong series on DVD or VHS, please consider purchasing one soon, as we will, on occasion, be viewing a film from this fine series, starring Boris Karloff! ALSO, we will, by November, be watching, several times throughout the year, episodes of "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan" TV drama from 1958, which starred J. Carrol Naish and James Hong! Please consider obtaining these fine adventures, as well. Recommended: The DVD set from The Nostalgia Merchant. Thank you so much...
There is another option for those who don't have the James Lee Wong and Keye Luke series. I have all six listed on one of my website's pages with links to each title.
Because the original copyright holders did not renew the copyright on the Mr. Wong films, they are now in public domain. This means that the Wong films are copyright free.
The Internet Archive website has many public domain films available for free viewing to the general public, including the Mr. Wong series. The web address is: www.archive.org.
An interesting note: Internet Archive lists six (6) Charlie Chan films as public domain, including "Charlie Chan's Secret" and "Dark Alibi."
