THIS WEEK’S PRESENTATION: “Charlie Chan at the Olympics” (1937; 71 minutes). (Distributed: Twentieth Century-Fox May 21, 1937; produced: late January to mid-February 1937)

FEATURE INTRODUCTION: During flight tests over Honolulu an experimental airplane is hijacked and its pilot murdered. When the missing plane is chanced upon by Charlie Chan and son Charlie, Jr., it is discovered that the new guidance device, designed to allow military planes to fly unmanned, is missing. The detective traces the strategically important invention to the summer Olympic Games in Berlin, where spies, enemy agents, and other criminals are trying to obtain it, intent on selling it to another government. Chan's son, Lee, a member of the U.S. Olympic swim team, is on hand to help his father recover the device and solve the mystery.

FEATURE NOTES: This film contains newsreel footage of the dirigible ‘Hindenburg’ which exploded only two weeks before the release of “Charlie Chan at the Olympics,” as well as several highlights of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, including a sequence featuring American runner Jesse Owens participating in the 4x100 relay. John Carradine is listed as a cast member in Hollywood Reporter production charts, but his participation in the final film has not been confirmed.
