    There was hardly a role Boris Karloff could not play. He was magnificent, there is nobody equal to him in acting today.

    So, Dayton is a sharp businessman. But he just signs the agreement about inheritance of the business. He does not read it. He does not get his lawyer to look at it. He does not mention any compensation to family that would have been depending on his income. OK.

    Thanks for posting this interesting movie. I never thought I'd live to see the day where Boris Karloff playing Charlie Chan, (Sidney Toler). He did it quite well and I thought the plot was well developed. Two Caucasian men playing a Chinese investigator, go figure?

    So strange that he doesn’t bother with a Chinese accent which would be the normal method as with Sidney Toler. Still a great movie.

    • @Jean-qn4fy
      @Jean-qn4fy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not so strange. His name is James Lee Wong. Either his mother was British or American, or he was the son or grandson of immigrants and would speak English fluently.

      @austinevplab7167 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@Jean-qn4fy Yes, I’ve since learned that in these movies Wong spent a lot of time in England which lets Karloff out of needing an accent. But, it’s really more than just the accent, if he’s an American, educated at Yale then there really is no point to there being a Mr. Wong, instead of a Mr. Jones or a Mr. Smith in this story. Karloff could have played it without the unrealistic makeup effect to his eyes and nothing would have been lost. The Chinese character of Charlie Chan and the Japanese character Mr. Moto uses those cultural characteristics but Wong was just Mr. Wrong.

      @@austinevplab7167 Yes, the stories are good, but the character of Mr. Wong is often an annoyingly cartoonish. They did one with Keye Luke that felt much better. Oriental detectives were in vogue at that time. But audiences back then preferred westerners in the role.

      @@austinevplab7167 They could tone Street down a bit. But he is supposed to be the side kick and to offer some comic relief. The character that really grates on my nerves is the stereotypical "sassy girl reporter" that shows up in the later movies in the series. Oh, lordy, I want to bludgeon and drown that character!
