"A weak mind isn't strong enough to hurt itself. Stupidity has saved many a man from going mad." What a line!

Great character actors, this is such a classic, it's comforting in a way I can't explain, probably because I'm old now.

I had the biggest crush on Billy powel.he was my dream lover❤

I will soon be 71 and have enjoyed the Sidney Toler acting as Charley Chan. Saturdays as a child would be incomplete without these movies along with Tarzan!!!

TS 36:28 that roof top crane image could be a modern Drone image🤔

Lyn Harding (?) as Moriarity. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing it.

One of the most unique title sequences ever, especially for the year it was made. It was shot on the railroad, which made it more realistic than using miniatures and studio shots. A young Jean Arthur and Robert Armstrong, one of RKO's workhorses in the early years. Like Fox's "Grandeur" system, the 65mm could only be seen in a handful of places; most got the standard 35mm and 1.33-1 aspect ratio.

Films like this and "The Big Trail" in 1930 were probably part of why William Fox, innovator that he was, went broke and the studio went into receivership. "Soup to Nuts" with the original Three Stooges came out that year, too. Of course, we look at it from nearly 95 years in the future and consider it silly. They might have back then, too.

Love Charlie chan movies watch them all the time ❤

Birmingham Brown adds a lot of levity to the mystery!

My god, I love her, I love her. I would love to meet her, to marry her! I wish one day I can find someone like her in my life.

Joel McCrea 😮😊

Excellent film, thank you for posting

Clicked the like button because it's marvelous to have this, even if it is a thoroughly dreadful film. William Powell is marvelous but wooden here as is the normally flamboyant Jean Arthur. But the plot is horrid beyond imagination and the direction is why Powell and Arthur are so frozen in place. The acting that steals it is from the splendid character actor Eugene Pallette. He'd team up again with Powell in the classic My Man Godfrey.

William Powell and Eugene Pallette as shadow Holmes and Watson! Great condition on this. Thanks so much.

😮a bit dark, 22:37 but a good classic.

Florence Eldredge was married to Fredric March. Jean Arthur certainly bloomed into a lovely woman.

"The Problem Of Thor Bridge". Explanation for the missing gun.

Wonderful acting legacy they left especially willam powell

Love William Powell. Thank you.

I hope Brandon enjoyed himself at the black 'ESSENCE' Festival in Nee Orleans, which he 'conveniently failed to mention!

Great condition for film that old. Must b one of the earliest Vance portrayals. Women in these old films really dressed up for daytime.

This was silly fun all the way through. Joyzelle Joiner as the Martian queens was a trip--shame she had so few parts in other movies and such a short career, she was immense fun to watch.

Jessie Matthews, Gene Gerrard, and Will Hay to name but a few; are all faves of mine. Super classics and super entertaining.

Rock ❤❤

TOE-mas.

Love that do you know, talking 😂 it's brilliant 😊

I love all the Charlie Chan movies and the one with Mantan Moreland are unforgettable.

Mars inhabitants are the original Sea Monkeys😂

Ah, yes. For some reason flying "cars" are always a part of the future as well as the buildings NYC had in this version. Oh well, as the old saying goes: "the future ain't what it used to be".

Tape lifts from his prints! Lifts with tape and placed anywhere!

You had me at Bela Lugosi.

My pop sang and played guitar and did so every day, He was Elvis Presley's Sarge, they sang as they went down the road together. And they learned from each other.

I enjoy war-era movies. I've never seen this one. Thanks for your hard work!

This sort of film isn't my cup of tea at all. Twenty minutes in and I have to move along to the next film. However, I can recognize a high quality film. If I could, I'd give it two thumbs up. Great cinematography!

Thanks for sharing! I’m excited to see it

Our favorite program , from our childhood , my sisters y brothers I joyed seeing Charlie Chan , movies.

Embodiment of integrity, wisdom, and valiance in the face of determined wrongful actions. Miss this.

I am 83 and I remember watching Charlie Chan when I was a small child in late 40’s, my older brothers and sisters loved these mysteries …..my favorite Charlie Chan was this guy in , Dark Alibi……

The conversations between the brothers when then finish each others sentences is priceless!!!

That stuffed animal dog got wrekt.

Used to watch Charlie Chan on WGN - Chicago, Sunday mornings, early 80's. Classic comedy.

Love these old detective novels

Chan's son is still a mental defective.

Not a fan of silent films, but this was really good. The sets, scenery, and costumes are magnificent. Unfortunately, the likes of which will be nevermore. 😢

As an antiques and history buff, I can easily say that's the biggest sleeping closet I've ever seen, bar none! 😮😮😮
