Above-average B picture starring Peter Lorre
“Mr. Moto Takes a Chance,&#34; made in 1938, stars Peter Lorre as Japanese detective Mr. Moto working undercover as an archaeologist studying Cambodian ruins. His real mission: locating munitions dealers who are stockpiling weapons in Southeast Asia. Other characters are aviatrix Victoria Mason (Rochelle Hudson), newsreel photographer Marty Weston (Robert Kent), and Weston’s assistant, Chick Davis (Chick Chandler). The news team runs afoul of high priest Bokor (George Regas), who displays little trust for white people, and area monarch Raja Ali (J. Edward Bromberg), who has trouble separating the good guys from the bad.<br /><br />Lorre gets to put on various disguises, exercise a bit of martial arts and comes off as more colorful than many B-flick characters of the era, though Charlie Chan still takes the prize as best Hollywood B-movie detective. Lorre conveys both intelligence and humor as he investigates what might be a sinister plot that can affect the entire world.<br /><br />Picture quality on the DVD release varies. Stock footage and footage shot at the studio don’t match, and sharpness isn’t consistent. Interiors look best, with atmospheric lighting enhancing the black-and-white photography.<br /><br />Mr. Moto, created by American author John P. Marquand, appeared in six novels between 1935 and 1957. Lorre portrayed the detective in eight motion pictures between 1937 and 1939. (This was a period when Caucasian actors routinely portrayed Asians.) In the earlier Moto films, espionage played a significant role in the plot. The later films were mysteries in the mold of Fox’s Charlie Chan series.
