I always enjoyed Charlie's wise sayings and his numbering of his sons. And Becky, your story about your high school beau really made me smile! I want to revisit these films again.

"...These sound great. I have my set on order. <br /><br />"The Chinese Ring" is a remake of "Mr. Wong in Chinatown." Later on Monogram again recycled one of their earlier Wongs for another Roland Winters Chan mystery, with "Mr. Wong, Detective" being remade as "Docks of New Orleans."Kevin Deanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697597405552599370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-36928844477921043232010-06-07T13:30:01.010-04:002010-06-07T13:30:01.010-04:00Sark, thanks for the ends up.

As you know, I love mysteries with confined settings, so DANGEROUS MONEY sounds right up my alley. I saw most of the Oland and Toler CHARLIE CHAN films as a kid and always enjoyed them. Whereas the comic relief in some "B" mysteries don't age well, that's not true of the Chan pics. I think that's because the actors who played Charlie's assistants were talented comedians. I haven't seen any of the Roland Winters films, which makes this collection sound intriguing.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
