I don't have any. Do you recommend them now that you've seen them all? I saw some as a child.
Hi! Yes, I’ve seen all the Chan films with the exception of some of the Monograms. I would have to say that my favorites are in the following order:
Sidney Toler. Far and away my favorite Charlie Chan.
1. Charlie Chan in the Wax Museum (Great Sidney Toler in starring role, rainy night, wax figures, and Marc Lawrence as the heavy—very good!)
2. Charlie Chan at Treasure Island. (This is probably the very best of the Toler films with Ceaser Romero as Rhadini the magician.)
3. Charlie Chan in Reno. Divorces, husband stealers and Pauline Moore. She was terrific in her Chan movies. She’s also in Treasure Island.
For the Warner Oland Chans, I like:
1. Charlie Chan’s Secret. Great moody seances.
2. Charlie Chan in Monte Carlo. This movie stars Kay Lineaker as the blackmailed wife, who was terrific in Charlie Chan in Rio. She’s also the spirit guide in Treasure Island. Trivia says that they put plastic saran wrap (brand new at the time) over her face for the scene and afterwards the crew left for lunch leaving her still wrapped up. Supposedly she nearly suffocated.
3. Charlie Chan in London. Ray Miland is in this one and does a fine job.
My favorites however for any Chan outing are Sidney Toler and Victor Sen Yung. This pairing of actors and their chemistry has always struck a chord with me.
So, ENJOY! And please let me know your thoughts if you decide to watch any of these flicks.
