Manage episode 239596651 series 1321437
Join us, Nick & Glenn, as we discuss the great Charlie Chan and the character's legacy in film - a Variety Attic Short.
Although we mostly focus on the films, we also discuss the origin of Charlie Chan - the character's first appearance in the books by creator & novelist, Earl Biggers. We have fun delving into the various film adaptations from Twentieth Century Fox and Monogram Studios, as well as the history of the studio's plight with this fascinating characters' film evolution.
We take you through film clips from all three of the Hollywood actors who portrayed this universally known Asian detective - Warner Oland, Sidney Toler, & Roland Winters - spanning three decades that began in 1931.
If you're a fan of mysteries, (film or otherwise) we think you'll really like this one!
