Charlie Chan In Shanghai (1935)

At a banquet honoring the renowned detective Charlie Chan (Warner Oland), the host (David Torrence) is killed by a gunshot. Chan insists on investigating and find the murderer of his friend. Based on the Chan character created by Earl Derr Biggers and directed by James Tinling (UNDER THE PAMPAS MOON). The ninth film in the Charlie Chan franchise produced by Fox. It's a decent entry in the Chan universe although slow at times but it's well constructed and its one hour and 11 minutes running time is compact so there's no dead weight. Mystery fans should appreciate this solid effort. With Jon Hall, Irene Hervey, Keye Luke and Halliwell Hobbes.
