CHARLIE CHAN AT MONTE CARLO-1937-In the
famed gambling mecca the famous detective (non-Asian Warner Oland)
and his number one son Lee (Keye Luke) stumble across a murder, some
stolen bonds and a battle between two industrialists. Of course
suspects abound: a bartender, a lackey assistant, a wife, a mistress.
This is a pretty good Chan mystery despite too much number one son
comedy. The final scene is kind of like the ending of an Abbott &
Costello movie!
With Virginia Field (also in several MR. MOTO
entries) and Sidney Blackmer. Director Eugene Forde's career went
back to the silent era. This was one of five Charlie Chan mysteries
he directed.
Thanks for reading!
