- "The Trap" (also known as "Charlie Chan In the Trap), is a 1946 crime film directed by Howard Bretherton. The main premise is two members of a show troupe are murdered, and Charlie Chan is called in to solve the case.
This was Sidney Toler's final film and his final one as the detective Charlie Chan, his 17th of the series. Stricken with cancer during his last few films, Toler was so physically weak during filming that he could hardly walk or say his lines coherently.

Blake as Rick Daniels (as Larry Blake), Kirk Alyn as Sgt. Reynolds, Rita Quigley as Clementine, Anne Nagel as Marcia, Helen Gerald as Ruby, Howard Negley as Cole King (Impresario), Lois Austin as Mrs. Thorn, Barbara Jean Wong as San Toy, Minerva Urecal as Miss Weebles (the Housekeeper), Margaret Brayton as Madge Mudge, Bettie Best as Winifred, Jan Bryant as Lois and Walden Boyle as Doc Brandt. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

I am 73 and have seen and had all of the Charlie Chan movies on DVD, they were awesome but stolen from me along with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes. I can still watch and enjoy on UTUBE, thank you for playing my two favorite favorites!!!!
Sorry to hear they were stolen from you but those are my favorites as well. I think basil rathbone and Nigel Bruce were the two best actors when playing Sherlock Holmes. :)
Worth watching just for Birmingham antics🤭
Thank you for putting this on the internet for all to watch 🥰 I'm in my 70's and have loved the Charlie Chan movies since first seeing them on the late late movie show 😂 I have many DVD sets of the movies but have never seen this one 🥰 Thank you ❤️😘
😊😊
Sidney Toler was a very brave and courageous man/actor, working while seriously ill with cancer. I applauded him, fine man and commendable.👍💫
My favorite Charlie Chan!
It was Warner Oland that was deathly sick with Cancer, he played Charlie Chan first, and then died.
Sidney Toler took over to play Charlie Chan, after Warner Oland passed away from Cancer.
@Fuzz Lightyear
Oh really? Why don't you proove it to me. If you notice the dates on the movies that they made, you
will see that Warner Oland's
movies came well before Sidney Toler's movies.
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 This film was released on November 30, 1946. That means it was probably filmed during the early summer of 1946. Sidney Toler was already sick with cancer. By November he was bedridden and he died in February, 1947. This was his last film.
Warner Oland died in 1938, of bronchial pneumonia.
@Fuzz Lightyear This was Toler's last film. It was released in November 1946. It was probably filmed in early summer, 1946. Toler had cancer, was bedridden for the last few months of his life and died in February 1947. Warner Oland died of pneumonia in 1938.
It's a pleasure to see Malibu so underdeveloped. I miss the beaches of the sixties where mother nature ruled, and man made buildings were scarce. I also want to commend "Birmingham" for his ability to use facial expressions to convey, fear, surprise, and intrigue. He is hardly mentioned in the comments, yet here he had more screen time than number 2 son!
Kirk Alyn , The first Serial Superman is on this.
# 1 Son later played Hop Sing on Bonanza in the 1960's. The Cartwright s cook.
"[Mantan Moreland a.k.a. 'Birmingham Brown'] had more screen time than number [1] son!" -- And he was 10 times the actor of Keye Luke (No 1 son), one of the most irritating people ever to grace the screen.
@@johnbockelie3899 "1 Son later played Hop Sing" -- In some episodes. Keye Luke also played the No 1 son.
@@mountainhobo I always.liked No.One son, he was so up beat and acted cool.
Birmingham Brown is WILD. I'm over here cracking up at 3am watching this great comedian, JUST answering the phone and he is hilarious! Genius!l
Did you know that after Shemp died Moe wanted Mantan Moreland to be the third Stooge but Columbia wanted Joe Besser because he was already under contract with the studio.
@@bjbell52Yep, I knew that.
Mantan Moreland was awesome as Birmingham Brown 🟤🤎 great comic relief 😂😅🤣 thanks for the upload 📽️🎥⭐🌟💥👍💯
Nothing better than the Old classic movies when life was far better than today.People actually talked to each other and looked at you.. Glad I got to live in those days.People now don't know what their missing.🎥👍👍
Oh yes death during childbirth, smoking, asbestos such good times
The Trap is Toler's last Chan movie It is a testament to his talent and dedication
I truly believe he was the best Charlie Chan. A true Inspiration to the end. RIP Sidney Toler.
Very sad, this is his last Charlie Chan flim , may he rest in peace.
One of the better films. I am working my way trying to watch then all. Love them so far thank you so much.
It's so weird that people have such differing opinions as far as I'm concerned I think this is one of the worst Charlie Chan movies and I do think Sidney Toler what's the best of them all but not this movie and you think it's a great movie so that's what makes the world go round I'm sure there's somebody that just thinks it's so so
I have to respectfully disagree. I'd put this Chan film on the bottom rung tier of Toler's Charlie Chan films. Sidney Toler has ALWAYS bn my FAV Chan actor but have grown to appreciate & really like Warner Oland's depiction as well. Nonetheless, this particular Chan film can't hold a candle to ANY of the Chan films produced by FOX, for example. And, it pales in comparison to others produced by Monogram. Long live Charlie Chan!
@@roderickfernandez8554 I have to concur.
You must not have seen very many Charlie Chan films to this point. Just a guess not a criticism. Take care.
@@roderickfernandez8554 Have to say that's the LONGEST run - on sentence I think I've ever seen on TH-cam...LOL
I wish someone had bumped off the hysterical one first.
Omg right? It makes it nearly unwatchable
I love black n white flicks,,my favorite is Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes
The b/w "Sherlock Holmes" series with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce were very excellent and my personal favorites!
Me Too !!! Maybe I'll try Columbo in B & W ... ??
@@tomdooley4226 in the history of Sherlock,, there was no one better than Basil ... !!!!!
@@lucan4042 👍
OMG, I can't believe "Mr. Chan" is found in TH-cam. This takes me down memory lane, watching this detective show with such suspense & comedic happenings with both my younger sister & father.
My father's favorite occurrences were whenever Mr. Chan's chauffeur would come on the scene. . . My father's laughter was so contagious! 😄
CELESTE, in the ATL 🌻
I loved Birmingham! 😄
Have been a Charlie Chan fan since childhood n still watch over n over with Grandson n Great-grandsons..❤
I didn't know about the cancer, I have new admiration for sidney, although
Warner was my favorite.
Loved watching these when I was young.
Thanks so much! An excellent way to spend my Saturday night!!
Would love to see these great movies remastered .
I love charlie chan movies
Sydney Toler...........best Charlie Chan ......in my humble opinion
Probably, but Werner Oland was no slouch either. He was a good Chan. Pretty close
very humble indeed.
iIT'S A COLD DAY HERE IN NEW ENGLAND SO WHY NOT WATCH ONE OF THE BEST CHARLIE CHAN MOVIES I WISH I WAS ON THE BEACH IN MALIUB..LOVE THIS FILM...
We moved up to Malibu in 1960 from Santa Monica. It was a great time to be living out here. Sorry to have to say that it's not so wonderful now, but I'm glad I lived out here when it was really wonderful, and loved it then.
I lived in Malibu next to Liberace in Big Rock. He died that February. He looked fine & always polite with his many dogs. Speaking of dogs that's where Malibu is now. Went to the dogs. I lived in the 80's on private beach a few years then up too Malibu Bay Club which really is in Oxnard. What a bunch of creeps in that complex. I'm very kind but they think they run your life & everyone else's. Hated me because I had a beautiful condo. How stupid. Oh well. In a high rise in Long Beach & love it. It's the old LA. I moved to in1982. Respectfully Francis. Just be nice to everyone. LA was beautiful with 18 million nice folks. Rent was normal & now it 45 million & do not walk in street they'll run you over & keep going. Greedy, selfish wanna beds & they're nothing. I'm a designer & did many star homes by word of mouth. $100,000.000.00 was David Foster,'s & the nicest wife Lynda Thompson Jenner Foster. Bruce or Caitlins ex . I waited on Bruce & her at Rex's Fishmarket in 80's. Bruce was handsome & normal. Who knows but the nicest people they all were. I never hung around. I was asked but " do you like it?"yes yes, took check & left & no problems. Respectfully francis
I love the older movies better because you don't half to worry about the bad language. And back in the day thay had better taste in people and movie scripts.
Good clean fun movies. Even though someone was murder. Love these Charlie Chan movies.
That nervous Nelly she could use a smack just to shut her up
I loved all the Charlie Chan movies and I loved Warner Oland & Sidney To let even Roland Winters
Mantan Moreland added a comic relief to this detective story. Moreland also made several other films with Monogram.
i love this one today is a great day to be at the beach in maliub with a great cast of people CHARLIE CHAN is the best..
I think Sidney Toler was the best Charlie Chan.
The lady with the French accent is a terrible actress. 👎👎The one that always screaming she's always over exaggerating.👎👎 The rest of the cast is really great thank you for the upload👍👍
I believe she's probably really friends because they're always very exaggerating
You kinda have to expect some of that in the Charlie Chan movies from 1944 - 1949; they were made by Monogram, a cheap company.
Mantan Moreland is very funny 🤣😂😅 🌟⭐💯🎥📽️
love the cop's uniform back in those days bow-ties, awesome
Excellent movie
Thanks, a Charlie Chan film I missed.
I’ve read many of the comments in it and it did seem that Sydney Tolar was ill as I watch his performance. I love all the Charlie Chan movies that I’ve seen so far but this is the weakest one, Charlie Chan was always polite and gracious and he was quite abrupt in this movie. It was the script and how it was written but Charlie Chan‘s personality was changed in this movie. And I kind of got lost with the plot and really what happened. It is a weak movie but for Charlie Chan fans, it’s still enjoyable enough to see Sidney Toler.
Kirk Alyn was the films first live Superman actor.

Dio sentido al de no …The Show must go on , a true actor , que descanse en Paz.
After watching the cartoon. I want to see how this works…..
Gotta admit. I’m nervous.
Trap alright… Mr Chan . Anybody know how many chan movies S Toler made
22
the info at the top of the page--movie description--says 17--this was Tolers last Chan film
A lot....believe it was 17.
@@MichaelGunner123 It's 22, really. There were a *lot* of these movies being made before Home Television was a commodity in the 1950s.
Five films for Fox + 17 films for monogram!
I love Charlie Chan Movies ❤❤❤

Great movie except for that screaming girl.
Jimmy Chang was great
Lots of ads not keen on this one
Consegue legenda em português, Espanhol, Castelhano, dublado ou Subtitulada em Espanhol. Só assim consigo entender o filme .Me inscrevo na hora, obrigado pela atenção vou fica agora aguardando!
I love the whole Charlie Chan series, but some are better than others. this one here is one of the worse ones.
Love the old knucklehead Harley.
My lord that “French” girl and the other hysterical cow grated on my last nerve.
2 Women Murdered in this Film.
Mureder is a Woman Mrs Thorn Played by Actress Lois Austin.
Worst Written Movie And Actors Ever 😡 Can’t Believe He Did That Movie
She is a nasty lady, had no remorse.
Chan hitchhikes to Shanghai.
I love Birmingham
Absolutely love these movies but that dingy chick, screaming and yelling is very annoying lol.

ha ha police always say ''suicide'' then they go for donuts''..............
A fine non-"woke" film which has not been banned by the woke terrorists who see everything in their shallow world view. I have purchased a different set of Chan videos because of the woke meatheads who want to change the American scene into a place which will bore normal people to death.
Mantan Moreland was so clever in analyzing what the biggest audience would accept in a Black comedy actor's role and brought his version of Black comedy to the screen in an invisible way. His depiction is just right for the time.
just watch the film and keep your dodgy politics to yourself
@@thomasferguson3061 Mind your own business. I watch this film again and again. I hope this film gives the Woke Inquisition an ulcer.

"Dodgy politics"?
It's always rich to hear conservatives bitch about censorship, considering the amount of censoring they've done themselves. Apparently, it's okay when they do it, but not when anyone else does. Just another example of the famous conservative double-standard.
For those who love b & w movies, there's a button on all color TVs made since '66 that turns off the color.

I'm a big Charlie Chan fan and own every film available (other than the 4 lost Oland movies and the silents). I enjoy Toler's early Fox films a lot and even some of the later Monogram ones. This one is really hard to watch. He's very sick and very frail. But even if he wasn't this is a BAD movie. Just awful from start to finish. The humor which has been done over and over falls flat. For Toler's determination to finish the film when he could barely walk and speak most people graciously overrate this with 2 - 2 1/2 stars but it's a 1 and a sad thudding end to Toler's legacy. From the terrible script to the sets to the overacting by much of the cast this one should be skipped. The plots and scripts would get no better in future films but all of them are still better than this one even with the worst Chan (of movies -- no one beats J. Carrol in that dubious honor) ever I could sit through all of them and find so much more to like. I know I'll offend some/most. I have great respect fo the character and for Sidney Toler's career. Maybe he needed the money. Even in 1946 medical care for terminal illnesses could be devastatingly expensive. It would have been better for this one to be tabled and for Mr. Toler to be home with friends and family than to go out this way. Deep down you know I'm right.
The Press agent exhibits one of the most often cited reasons for crime. Money. Haven't we all heard it said if you want to find the real culprit "follow the money"? Long before this was another oft quoted saying "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil".
Unfortunately. this movie continues Hollywood's long standing tradition in casting black characters negatively, and all for laughs.
Mantan Moreland was doing a job he was paid fo. In an interview he mentioned he and the sons were brought in to take the burden off an ailing Sidney Toler. I loved Hattie McDaniels comeback to those who criticized her playing a maid in GWTW. She said she would rather earn $700 a week playing a maid than $7 being one. The truth is folks there were black maids and elevator operators and doormen just as there were white ones but no one mentions those. Oh should I have said doorpersons? Get over it and enjoy the talent.
At last a Chinese actress and isn't she a honey?
WHY DOES THE PRETTY ONE HAS TO DIE😢 FIRST?
Just another way of showing how evil the killer is in the story... Much like in the Betty Boop "Baby Be Good" episode where the naughty kid _bullies a puppy_ in the imagined sequence, before making more chaos and getting chased by a lion.

good enough Chan Mystery but NOT a comedy....
Cast aside like something unclean well if you're going to be cast aside I guess that's the best way like they should have tossed by this movie
What was I talking about I must have been typing in my sleep I haven't got a clue what I wrote there it doesn't even sound coherent Not Unusual
You took the words right out of my mouth! I read your comment several times and for the life of me I couldn't make any sense of it. Thanks for your admission/explanation!
Not as good as the other episodes with Sidney Toler. The plot doesn't flow well and the acting is not quite up to par.

Unsubscribe. Too many commercials.
I agree. Every five minutes. And they are too loud.
Use "Brave Browser". Blocks ads and trackers.
Surely you must know how to get rid of the ads by now. FF to the end
What commercials? Am located in the USA....Mississippi. NONE on my end. NEVER had any on TH-cam.
The commercials are put in by TH-cam, not the video uploader. The only way to get rid of them is to pay for TH-cam premium.
As much as I like Charlie Chan movies this one is the worst written and acting I have ever seen.
I agree.
Wow I'm glad somebody agrees me with on this one I think it is one of the worst so according to the comments I think we're among the the few
Maybe you haven't seen "The Chinese Ring," then. This one's still more enjoyable to me than "The Chinese Ring," which 1: is a remake of a Mr. Wong movie, 2: is a late Monogram company movie, 3: Monogram was a cheap company, 4: "The Chinese Ring" is the first one that Roland Winters starred in, 5: Winters didn't really come across as an old and seasoned detective to me in it.
To be fair, though, "The Chinese Ring" is still higher budget and easier to watch than the Mr. Wong original, and it's mostly better than the original, IMHO.
Also, Winters seemed OK in "The Golden Eye." I still have to see the other 4 Charlie Chan movies he was in, though. And I know that another one of those is also a remake of a Mr. Wong movie, but the others shouldn't be.
