dumb and dumb and dumb this be not so much for this chan film alone a for pretty much all of the monogram chan flick that star sidney toler . i enjoy all 6 or seven of the original charlie chan novel by biggers . and i like some of the warner oland entry and although they include a bit too much humor at time for my taste in mystery . but these late movie be and for the most part and just plain stupid . and the stereotypical wide eye frightened negro shenanigan of mantan moreland be repetitive to the point of perverse tediousness . i start collect the movie after read the book and i get ta say represent i do enjoy low budget and low grade film sometimes for the simple pleasure and nostalgia they evoke . but these be not so bad theyre good ~ theyre just bad .
