Charlie Chan on Broadway

The New York police have decided to throw a testimonial in Charlie Chan's (Warner Oland) honor, but the Honolulu detective just can't seem to go anywhere without murder following him. It seems that a Manhattan nightclub singer has been murdered, and it is soon discovered that the victim had the name of every criminal in New York in her diary. Faced with such a long list of suspects, Chan is up against one of his toughest assignments ever. He enlists a jaded newspaper reporter (Donald Woods) and an attractive photographer (Joan Marsh) to help him track down the murderer, but the trio keeps running into dead ends and bad leads. They eventually crack the case, discovering that the killer was about the last person they expected. CHARLIE CHAN ON BROADWAY marked Oland's 15th on-screen performance as the famous Charlie Chan.

Customer Reviews

One cabin is too small for two detectives.

Billie Bronson “Little Billie” (Louise Henry) returns from abroad. She brings with her a secret or two. Soon, she ends up dead. This is one of the better Chans. You will notice the standard Charlie Chan crew, which includes Harold Huber this time as Chief Inspector James Nelson, NYPD. Hey, what is Lon Chaney Jr. doing in a Chan film? Charlie is Warner Oland, and his son is Keye Luke. See Keye again in “The Cat Creature” (1973 TV movie) if you can find it. My copy nearly wore out before transferring to DVD. Back to the movie, they did a decent job of remastering it and cleaning up all the squiggles and giggles.
