Charlie Chan's Secret - 1936 [Crime] [Comedy]

These are the best Charlie Chan movies with good production values and starring Warner Oland, the best of all the Charlie Chans.

[@Carly8Corday]

@@vsedai All I remember of Burke's Law is my sister and me driving ourselves goofy imitating and giggling over that woman's insinuating voice in the intro. It wasn't a good idea for entertainment in the back seat of the car unless we wanted Mommy (or Daddy) to pull over. We also loved this thing where we'd play dress-up, stuff our blouses with curves made out of socks, use a long pencil for a cigarette, and say, "Come up and see me sometime, big boy." LOL. I don't think we even knew where that one came from. Times will never be that much side-splitting fun again. I heard not long back that my Number Three Granddaughter and her little friends, all about age 8, were seen by grownups hollering, "Shot!" and tossing back small glasses of Kool-Aid. Innocence! Where did it go?

"tough on the Colby heirs if he's alive" (so said the boat captain here, to Charlie Chan). Then, in vintage Charlie Chan style, Chan replies; "tough on Alan Colby if dead". It's great lines like this throughout all the Charlie Chan movies, that make them worth re-watching.

[@jackmcqueen979]

I’m remember maybe 10 years ago there was a PC backlash about Charlie Chan as if this Chinese detective (no one actor was actually Chinese) was being denigrated. Odd as he was always the sharpest tool in the the box. I loved how his actual Asian progeny spoke English in the colloquial.

[@mousiebrown943]

Remember that CHINA was US Ally in WWII; Japan was enemy of China and US.

[@remmymafia3889]

Maybe my favorite Warner Oland Charlie Chan reply here at the 1:45-1:55 mark, when the captain tells Charlie that the reappearance after a mysterious seven year absence of Alan Colby, to claim the fortune from his father's death, much to the chagrin ("TOUGH on the Colby heirs") of the other heirs, and Charlie replies it'll be "TOUGH on Alan Colby if dead". The deliveries of these type of retorts by both Oland Warner's Charlie Chan and Sidney Toler's, are priceless.

It's really sad that in some circles these movies are remembered as an example of early 20th century racism. Because talk all you want about perceived stereotypes, and Chan being played by people who are not ethnically Chinese, and what that implies about casting at the time; these are still movies that came out in the mid 30's and early 40's that show a Chinese hero and his family in a favorable light, respected and well treated, not the comic relief, and often appearing less ridiculous than the white characters. These movies were, dare I say it, progressive for their time. It's almost as though political correctness doesn't understand context or nuance.

[@maxbodymass]

You have hit the nail on the head Charlie Chan, Mr Moto, & Mr Wong were created to show Chinese and Japanese people in a good light in opposed to the yellow peril Fu Manchu films that were so prevalent at the time.

A B movie was a less expensively made movie but - like the Charlie Chan movies could be very good. A C movie is a step down from a B movie as the name implies - even less spent on the production and the actors etc - and a weaker script.
