Featured review
"One murder. Too many suspects. Too many motives."
Not one of the best in the Charlie Chan series, but still good. Charlie is now seen with is daughter, played by Frances Chan. Unfortunately, she doesn't knows how to act. Her character is not too inspiring either. But Birmingham Brown, played by Mantan Moreland, brings fun to the screen! He sees spooks all around and never wants to be involved... but always is: "this is strictly a private murder to which I wasn't invited". Once again, he makes us laugh with his gimmicks.
74/100 (**½)
Seen at home, in Welland, November 24th, 2001. And again at home, in Toronto, on February 14th, 2007.
