Mr. Wong, Detective - Full Movie | Boris Karloff, Grant Withers, Maxine Jennings, Evelyn Brent

[@clarezigner6028]

There was hardly a role Boris Karloff could not play. He was magnificent, there is nobody equal to him in acting today.

[@ChuckDee1]

I love the Mr Wong movies. Thanks for the the good print. Usually we are stuck with dark, blurry versions of these old classics.

[@footfault]

Thank you for posting a sharp, clear film. This Wong series is as much fun to see as the Mr. Moto series.

[@pamelajones7662]

[@soniarosado4656]

[@shirleyrandle3138]

Thank you for Boris Karloff as Mr. Wong,loved that series

[@francescaa8331]

Great upload! Mr. Wong, Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto. The inscrutable asian detective years.

[@JamesCook-u9h]

I think Keye Luke played Mr Wong once. But your correct. An unfortunate sign of the times​@ros8986

[@michaelkottler]

Thank you very much for posting this, 1st of the mostly-Karloff Mr. Wong films save I believe for The Phantom of Chinatown with Keye Luke of Charlie Chan fame.

[@georgerodriquez7744]

[@cherylbowker3717]

Karloff IS the BOMB!!!!

[@PatrickJDoyle-bw3fu]

He also did a short series called "Col. March".

[@terrywilliams2193]

Very good.

[@myrnagarcia-y1x]

Thank you

[@jeffmill999]

I love these...Peter Lorrie played a japanese detective

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Do you have high quality versions of The Fatal Hour and Doomed To Die as well?

[@JennyandtheCats]

Share your secret on getting such a clear and non-noisy film!

[@FiveBlackFootedFerrets]

Thanks for posting this interesting movie. I never thought I'd live to see the day where Boris Karloff playing Charlie Chan, (Sidney Toler). He did it quite well and I thought the plot was well developed. Two Caucasian men playing a Chinese investigator, go figure?

[@deborahwashington4190]

WOW you got that right👏👏👏👏👏

[@Jean-qn4fy]

So, Dayton is a sharp businessman. But he just signs the agreement about inheritance of the business. He does not read it. He does not get his lawyer to look at it. He does not mention any compensation to family that would have been depending on his income. OK.

[@kevinmoor26]

Boris Karloff and Perry White!

[@marlene-rr2ih]

You know what you can do with the relentless commercials. No movie is worth it.

[@annamarielewis7078]

Today there would be protests about not having an Asian star.

[@big566bunny]

Nobody in a wheelchair either. No deaf mutes, either. Just a bunch of Homo sapiens. What an outrage. Where does one find a Safe Space in virtual space?

[@philpartin8618]

Great old movie. But how did the doctor get to the house so fast? And why was he dressed like he was a milkman? 😂

[@austinevplab7167]

So strange that he doesn’t bother with a Chinese accent which would be the normal method as with Sidney Toler. Still a great movie.

[@Jean-qn4fy]

Not so strange. His name is James Lee Wong. Either his mother was British or American, or he was the son or grandson of immigrants and would speak English fluently.

[@austinevplab7167]

@@Jean-qn4fy Yes, I’ve since learned that in these movies Wong spent a lot of time in England which lets Karloff out of needing an accent. But, it’s really more than just the accent, if he’s an American, educated at Yale then there really is no point to there being a Mr. Wong, instead of a Mr. Jones or a Mr. Smith in this story. Karloff could have played it without the unrealistic makeup effect to his eyes and nothing would have been lost. The Chinese character of Charlie Chan and the Japanese character Mr. Moto uses those cultural characteristics but Wong was just Mr. Wrong.

[@Jean-qn4fy]

@@austinevplab7167 Yes, the stories are good, but the character of Mr. Wong is often an annoyingly cartoonish. They did one with Keye Luke that felt much better. Oriental detectives were in vogue at that time. But audiences back then preferred westerners in the role.

[@austinevplab7167]

@@Jean-qn4fy The Captain Street character annoyed me with his one dimensional character trait of yelling all his lines. Karloff was good and I did say at the outset that it’s still a great movie.

[@Jean-qn4fy]

@@austinevplab7167 They could tone Street down a bit. But he is supposed to be the side kick and to offer some comic relief. The character that really grates on my nerves is the stereotypical "sassy girl reporter" that shows up in the later movies in the series. Oh, lordy, I want to bludgeon and drown that character!

[@cozmcwillie7897]

2:12 Lascardi looks very like Al Pacino.

[@foleyartist62]

It's like having teeth extracted, the acting is so painful. Amazing that in these films someone in an office could ring directly to a detective! Great movies to cure insomnia.

[@paulcaron400]

I’d like to know if there is any relation between Grant Withers and Jane Withers. Maybe father daughter🤔

[@johnshields6852]

Why would he sign that document when he fears for his life, his beneficiary would be his wife or another family member, those two looked like wannabe gangsters.

[@georgemoore7186]

at about the 48 minute mark Mr Wong is searching a room, he doesn't see someone hiding behind the curtains, not possible....the person behind the curtains is a smoker and they stink, you could smell them as soon as you walked in the room, The stink cannot be washed off, it is in a smokers skin pores, it is in their clothes, it is in the air around them, smokers just can't hide🤣🤣
