NFT: The Great Charlie Chan

Ira : 2/4/2023 8:49 pm
Charlie Chan was a fictional detective for the Honolulu police department. He started out as a sleuth in a series of novels by Earl Biggers but soon graduated to the movies. He somewhat reminds me of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot in that he rarely uses violence in the form of hand fighting or shooting a gun - preferring to solve crime with his brains. What a novel idea.

He was played by a succession of actors and always had help from sons he called number one son or number two son, etc. The link below tells about the character and the series, but if you search on youtube, you can find many individual movies.

Fuckin Charlie Chan
I watched and enjoyed Charlie Chan on TV so long ago.

Sadly, those movies are gone forever. Without loud music and explosions, Charlie Chan can never hope to attract modern audiences.

I read all the books during the first part of lockdown, and they were excellent. Pretty cool to hear descriptions of travel fro Boston to Hawaii 100 years ago.

I have DVDs of the movies as well (and they are on YouTube) they are just fun lazy day viewing. Mr Moto is fun as well.
