Extended Preview for CHARLIE CHAN: DARK ALIBI
Added 2023-07-07 23:40:46 +0000 UTCBrand new on the site, it's our first venture into this.. franchise? Yes, the Charlie Chan series of films (or the Charlie Chan-verse, if you will) is comprised of 55 movies from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s! And so our intrepid trio of riffers have decided to dip their toes in it with this, IMDB's 12th listed movie in the series, Dark Alibi.
It’s just common sense: when you want to cast Sherlock Holmes, you scope out the actors in London’s West End. And when you want to cast a famous Chinese detective, you get a guy from Missouri.
SIdney Toler stars as Charlie Chan in a performance that Mickey Rooney called “way too subtle.” Dispensing Eastern wisdom that’s as authentically ancient as a Calgon ad, he’s called into action when a bank robbery leaves a man dead and thus unable to take advantage of low, low rates on financing. In order to bring a falsely accused man to justice, Charlie must infiltrate the jail where he’s being held, which results in what we can confidently say is the most exciting scene ever set inside a prison hay baling shed.
