One of the better films in the series, 11 January 2004
Author: Charles C. Cox (chasccox@aol.com) from Columbia, S.C. USA

I have seen all of the Charlie Chan films which FOX released in the talking era, i.e. with Warner Oland and Sidney Toler except "The Black Camel" which I have just ordered in VHS from Canada. It is my favorite Oland "Chan" and one of my favorite 2, the other being the Toler "Charlie Chan at Treasure Island". I understand that this film was thought lost for many years, but was recently rediscovered. Key Luke as number 1 son, Jimmy, is notably absent (I believe that he debuts in the next film, "Charlie Chan in Paris.") This film is better than the three other notable films, "Charlie Chan at the Opera", Charlie Chan on Broadway", and "Charlie Chan in Egypt" which are among the critics top choices.
