Re: Saturday night in Berlin: Charlie Chan at the Olympics

The website has the original title (no translation). Also the abbreviation OF for Original version so it was shown without subtitles (in contrast to OMU which means Original-with-subtitles).

The theme "rare views of foreign film makers" indicates a reflective audience interested in history. Not so many Chan fans, I guess.

Re: Saturday night in Berlin: Charlie Chan at the Olympics

Thank you, Michael!

Well, the people in attendance surely received some history in that film! Great stock footage was used throughout. Recently I went through the movie and pulled all of the participants in the Olympic Games that were seen through some of this stock footage, adding them to the "uncredited" portion of the film credits at this site. It was very interesting to quickly research each one for their personal information. For example, Fritz Schilgen, the Olympic torch runner, was born in 1906, passing at the age of 99 in 2005! (Note the Nazi salute in the background!)



Thank you, again, for sharing this interesting topic!

Sincerely,
Rush
