Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

hwg1957-102-265704 Directed by Harry Lachman this is another entry in the Sidney Toler series of Charlie Chan films concerning a divided treasure map, a planned trip to a remote island, a ghost of a pirate and a couple of murders solved of course by Charlie Chan with the doubtful help of his number two son, Jimmy. The story is not much really, the usual red herrings, but it satisfies. What is really good are the excellent detailed sets and the atmospheric black and white photography. Some of the framing is gorgeous to look at, thanks to Charles G. Clarke, cinematographer. Sidney Toler is fine as always as the quotable Chan and Sen Yung as son Jimmy has an active time in support. The running gag of him falling into water amused me. The rest of the cast are adequate. It does definitely benefit from having the easily recognisable Milton Parsons as Gene LaFarge, whose unique voice and features add greatly to the entertainment.Another solid movie in the series.

ctyankee1 A ship is going on a trip to find a treasure. A lady had a treasure map, cut it in four pieces and sent them to 3 different people invited to this treasure hunt trip. Later she dies on the ship frightened to death by someone she thinks is from the pirates curse. Chan's son sneaks on the boat he wants to go on this treasure hunt. Later his father comes looking for him. Chan's son is supposed to call the police about the death of the woman on the ship,he tells a reporter to do it who does not.He then goes into a bar looking for someone with a wooden leg and trips over a guy with a wooden leg. Chan's son is so funny he gets into all kinds of trouble thinking he is so smart. He ends up in the water a lot. He blind folds himself and tell a man he can walk a straight line anywhere. Not nothing the man takes the chain off of a plank and Jimmy Chan walks straight almost to the end of the plank above the water. When he takes the blindfold off he gets scared by what he sees and falls in the water.Someone on board is scaring the others pretending to be Black Hook, a pirate with a hook for a hand and a wooden leg who left scratch marks on the door with his hook where the woman died. Strange music starts playing when danger is expected. People start getting killed and someone is trying to collect all the pieces of the treasure map.George Reeves/Superman is in this young and handsome. There is also a thin man who looks nuts and comes on board with a doctor to get rid of some of his fears. His name is Milton Parsons and he plays Gene LaFarge. He is also funnyNice mystery most of the passengers have a reason to knock everybody off.

jaydeetee-19255 Where else could you see Hop Sing (Sen Yung) get decked (well...almost) by Superman (George Reeves)? A flying fish you say SuperDude?, 'Confuses' say "Club in hand don't look like no flying fish"Yes, number 3 son Jimmy Chan is on board a spooky ship scheduled to sail off on an adventure trip in search of treasure. Well...he's on board some of the time, but he's mainly in the water is this above average entry in the 'Charlie Chan' series. But 'Pop' Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) is there to bail him out once again.Chan has to deal with the ghost of a peg-legged pirate, a small, but mysterious group of passengers, and the ship's brooding Captain. Never fear, Chan is here.The movie has a nice 'feel' to it, with plenty of atmosphere...salty, dark, and mysterious. The story itself is pretty much what you'd expect from this type of movie, but it's good enough to carry you along for the cruise. Fun little mystery.

Michael O'Keefe A tidy mystery involving the ghost of a hanged buccaneer, a talking parrot, a treasure map quartered and a stowaway. A wealthy elderly Patience Nodbury(Ethel Griffles)stages a treasure hunt inviting several of her friends to partake. When the hostess is found dead in her stateroom, it is believed she has been frightened to death by a visit from one of her ancestors...the ghost of a fabled pirate. Or is it really a murder? The revered detective Charlie Chan(Sidney Tolar) happens to be on board ship looking for his #2 son Jimmy(Victor Sen Yung), a would be stowaway. In spite of the treasure map being torn in four parts, with three given to guests; someone on the ship wants the elderly woman dead. Not a whole lot of action; as far as that goes not a lot of acting either. Very little lighting in order to set the atmosphere. Should not be listed as one of the most favorite Chan flicks. Other players: Sheila Ryan, Truman Bradley, Paul McGarth, Kay Aldridge and George Reeves(of TV Superman fame).
