Charlie Chan At Monte Carlo (1937)

World famous detective Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) and his son (Keye Luke) are on vacation in Monte Carlo when the murder of a casino messenger interrupts their holiday. With an over abundance of suspects, it won't be easy to track down the killer! Based on the Earl Derr Biggers' character and directed by Eugene Forde. This was Oland's last turn as Chan before Sidney Toler took over the role in the franchise. It's entertaining enough and with all the suspects having a motive, it's not so easy to identify the murderer. There's a nice amount of humor in the film, most of it coming from Luke's butchering of the French language that gets them into hot water more than once. If you're a fan of the Chan franchise, this is one of the better ones. With Sidney Blackmer, Virginia Field, Kay Linaker, Harold Huber and Robert Kent.
