The "Wentworth Castle" shown in the opening is actually footage of the SS Morro Castle, which burned in 1934, in one of the worst maritime disasters of the 20th century.

The movie I enjoyed. I rarely watch a movie after 1961.

One seldom sees Boris actually laugh.

These cute entertaining movies of the early forties, may they never die. The hip dialogue is always priceless.

[@TheRoadDawg]

Wouldn’t Karloff dressed like this be akin to Black-face against Asians? Yet he’s still celebrated for these films.

If you had a three piece tweed suit back in the 1940's, you were not only cool, your bank account wasn't doing to bad either!

Another enjoyable James Lee Wong film!

Insurance rep. in 1st scene is Tris Coffin who plays a hotel clerk in the Wong film The Fatal Hour. Coffin has a great part as the "good" Dr. in The Corpse Vanishes w/Bela Lugosi. Coffin, whose name suggests death, co-starred with Lugosi & Karloff who played iconic death-related figures Dracula & Frankenstein's Monster, respectively.

Thank you for this and all your wonderful pos. These movies are from my youth. Great reviewing the long lost

[@douglasbarton6597]

I have been watching these Timeless Classic Movies along with many Charlie Chan Movies, ... It;s quite bewildering why the producer and director did not invest in a few pairs of hand cuffs ... I am glad I found these great movies. ... very entertaining

I love and have all the Mr.Wong and Mr. Motos and a couple 100 other old titles on printed discs and 1,000s burnt to disc from the other TCM and the local Libraries. I haven't had TV for 3 years so I've missed TCM but I'm enjoying a lot of movies I don't have, from you and others like you. Thanks so much !!! I did subscribe...
