Customer comments on this selection. Great early mystery movies...I love the early Charlie Chan movies. There are always many "plot twists" that keep you guessing, and it is a joy to watch old Charlie solve mystery after mystery. I think the scripts are amazing for early movies. (Sidney Toler is probably my favorite Charlie Chan, but Warner Oland is a very close second.) Charlie Chan Is the Greatest!One more and I will have the entire collection of Charlie Chan movies. Yes, I like him that much. His movies are a great way to enjoy the evenings. 5 stars for all the old Charlie Chan movies...  CHARLIE CHAN FANI AM A CHARLIE CHAN FAN - SO OF COURSE I ENJOYED THESE - FORGOT HOW SIMPLE THEY ARE BUT STILL FUN. - SO HOPE EVENTUALLY TO GET THE REST OF THE FILMS Charlie Chan Vol 3If you like the series you will enjoy this continuation. One of the pluses for me was the actual scenery shot in cities like Honolulu and San Francisco during the 1930's. The uncredited music in the Black CamelMost everything that needs to have been said has been except for the commentary track on the Black Camel which fails to make any mention of the beautiful hawaiian steel guitar music used in several points of the film which is devoid of music otherwise. I have heard that this contribution was from the greatest steel guitarist of them all who is Sol Hoopii. Sol was in big demand in Hollywood in the 20' and 30's as musical director, performer, actor, and as a talent scout for Hawaiian and polynesian themed movies. I marvel at the fact that the two male commentators were watching the complete movie and were not at all moved by the shear beauty of Sol's music to even make any comment about it. This film shot on location in Hawaii with a true son of Hawaii furnishing the slide steel guitar music is as good and as closed as it ever gets. |
