Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

blanche-2 From 1935, "Charlie Chan in Paris" was considered one of the lost of the series, but a print was found.Years and years ago, when I first discovered the Chan films, the TV station I watched at the time showed Sidney Toler films. I like Toler in the role -- he had a world-weary way of saying his lines, his Chan was deliberate, and his kids drove him nuts. Oland brings different qualities to the role, and he's a delight - very upbeat, more active, and in this one anyway, Lee Chan (Keye Luke) was a welcome addition to him, not a bother. He really radiates a special warmth.Part of the energy difference is due to age -- Oland was about 12 years younger than Toler when he began the series.In this story, Chan goes on vacation to Paris, but it's just a cover. He's there to investigate a forgery that seems to emanate from one particular bank that is selling bonds. He has someone there, Nardi, working undercover, but she is murdered shortly after the film starts.Good film, and somehow, even working in a studio, the film manages to create a dark and mysterious atmosphere.Enjoyable. I know they are not politically correct, but I do love the Charlie Chan films.

bkoganbing In one of the few times that another Charlie Chan film made reference to its immediate predecessor, Charlie Chan In Paris notes that Warner Oland is in Paris having picked up a client in London. Fans of the series will remember that Oland was in London solving the murder in a stable on an estate, a fact also specifically mentioned.The clients who hired Oland are some bondholders who have bought what looks forged bonds from a respected Paris bank. These bonds have flooded the European market and threaten to bring financial panic on the alleged issuing bank run by Henry Kolker.I have to say that the conspirators really had a clever scheme of forgery and a pretty good method of committing murder to protect the enterprise. Two murders are committed, one of them of John Miljan who has played a slew despicable villains on screen. In fact Miljan is branching out into a racket all his own when he's killed. That other racket though manages to cast suspicion on a false perpetrator.Charlie Chan In Paris is one of the cleverest films in the Chan series and fans of Charlie should not miss this one.

Michael O'Keefe The Honolulu sleuth Charlie Chan(Warner Oland), is undercover in Paris investigating a bond forgery scheme, when a fellow agent is murdered. An illusive counterfeiter is the subject of an intensive search knowing his bond forgeries can possibly send more than just Paris into financial catastrophe. Although the covert assignment becomes public, the detective's Number One Son Lee(Keye Luke) provides important assistance. One of the better films in the popular Charlie Chan mystery series. Lewis Seller directs with a supporting cast featuring: Mary Brian, Henry Kolker, Erik Rhodes, Dorothy Appleby, Murray Kinnell and John Qualen.

gazzo-2 I think this is the best of the Chan films that I have seen so far.*Involving mystery.*Some suspense.*Very good lurking in the dark room/sewers scenes.*Engaging banter between Chan and son Lee(Keye Luke).*John Qualen cameo(line in the Searchers-Next time I raise Pigs by Golly!), blink and ya miss him.*Oland very good here.*Check out the pseudo-Astair and Rogers-like opening dance number where Nardi is killed. That was something else.*Amazing how awful later entries ala 'Sky Dragon' got. Wow.*** outta ****, if you like Chan this is one you will wanna see.
