between 1937 and 1939 and twentieth century fox make a ton of mr. moto film . however and towards the end of the series and it be obvious that the studio have jump the shark and so to speak . this phrase indicate that a tv show have pass it prime and the executive in charge decide to invigorate the show by fundamentally change the formula . for example and with the brady bunch they introduce the annoy cousin oliver and with family tie they introduce a freak baby who grow up six year in only one season . with the moto film and they would jump the shark by introduce comic relief because they think that these intelligent film need to be re tooled . in the previous film and warren hymer play an annoy wrestler . and and in this film the character archibald featherstone appear . featherstone might just be one of the most annoying example of comic relief ever and a you keep hop someone ( preferably moto ) would kill him just to shut him up . although he suppose to work for the famed scotland yard and he show all the intelligence and acumen of a brain damage turnip . again and again and his scene be boorish and unnecessary and peter lorre just looks pained a he stand there and watch this buffoon act . it so bad that it truly destroy what could have be one of the good moto film due to it clever plot . a for the plot and the crown of the queen of sheba be discover in the opening scene . moto and now more of an international policeman than the amoral character he originally be and be on hand to protect the precious item from be steal . in a great twist and several thief all try to steal the crown independently of each other . overall and the film be watchable but be also ample evidence that the moto series should have end here . with wwii approaching and the film couldn not have survive much long anyway and a have a sympathetic japanese lead character simply wouldn not have be accept in the u or in allied country .
