The Shanghai Cobra

The Shanghai Cobra (1945) more movies like this

directed by Phil Karlson
featuring Sidney Toler, Addison Richards, Benson Fong, James B. Cardwell, James Flavin, Joan Barclay, Mantan Moreland, Walter Fenner, Arthur Loft, Gene Roth, George Chandler, Janet Warren, Joe Devlin, Paul Newlan, Roy Gordon

Just as Edgar C. Ulmer would at PRC around the same time, young Phil Karlson turned Monogram's almost nonexistent production values to his advantage in two Charlie Chan whodunits: The Shanghai Cobra (1945) and Dark Alibi (1946). Karlson added touches of film noir to the usual hoary Chan melodramatics and the result was arguably the best of the ...

This final entry in 20th Century-Fox's "Charlie Chan" series is set in a huge mansion, smack-dab in the middle of the Mojave desert.

A Night to Remember

A Night to Remember (1942) more movies like this

directed by Richard Wallace
featuring Loretta Young, Brian Aherne, Jeff Donnell, Sidney Toler

Brian Aherne stars as a successful murder-mystery novelist; his wife, Loretta Young, wishes Aherne would switch to writing love stories (Young doesn't have a very realistic grasp on the literary marketplace, but we'll let that pass). Young sweet-talks Aherne into vacating their apartment and moving into a Greenwich village basement, thereby hoping ...

The Chinese Cat

The Chinese Cat (1944) more movies like this

directed by Phil Rosen
featuring Sidney Toler, Joan Woodbury, Mantan Moreland

Charlie Chan's second mystery for Poverty Row company Monogram, The Chinese Cat is one of the inscrutable detective's better efforts. Director Phil Rosen keeps things moving at a reasonably expedient pace -- especially for a Monogram programmer -- and although the denouement is no big surprise, armchair detectives at least have no trouble keeping ...

Charlie Chan in Rio

Charlie Chan in Rio (1941) more movies like this

directed by Harry Lachman
featuring Sidney Toler, Mary Beth Hughes, Cobina Wright, Jr., Ted North, Victor Jory

Charlie Chan in Rio is a remake of 1931's Black Camel, one of the few pre-1934 "Charlie Chan" entries still in existence. While the original film was set in Hawaii, the remake takes place in Brazil, but the basic intrigues remain the same. While vacation in Rio de Janeiro with his son Jimmy (Victor Sen Yung), Honolulu detective Charlie Chan ...

The Jade Mask

The Jade Mask (1944) more movies like this

directed by Phil Rosen
featuring Sidney Toler, Mantan Moreland, Edwin Luke, Janet Warren, Edith Evanson

An engagingly silly Charlie Chan whodunit from Poverty Row company Monogram, The Jade Mask mixed science fiction with Old House melodramatics and a generous dose of comedy. The venerable Chinese detective (Sidney Toler) is this time assigned by the government to establish the whereabouts of Harper (Frank Reicher), a scientist experimenting with a ...

Isle of Forgotten Sins

Isle of Forgotten Sins (1943) more movies like this

directed by Edgar G. Ulmer
featuring John Carradine, Gale Sondergaard, Sidney Toler, Frank Fenton, Rita Quigley

Cult-favorite director Edgar G. Ulmer has quite a disparate cast to work with in Isle of Forgotten Sins. The story is typically brawny adventure fare, concerning a band of hardy South Sea pearl divers. But instead of a group of he-man protagonists, the leading players include the likes of pudgy Frank Fenton, scrawny John Carradine and ...

directed by Phil Rosen

Having ended its 11-year run at 20th Century-Fox, the "Charlie Chan" series set up shop at Monogram with the singularly uninspiring Charlie Chan in the Secret Service. Sidney Toler returns as the famed oriental detective, who, per the title, is now a government agent. His first assignment is to solve the murder of an inventor and recover the ...

Our Relations (1936) more movies like this

directed by Harry Lachman
featuring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Betty Healy, Daphne Pollard, Sidney Toler

Working on the theory that the only thing funnier than Laurel and Hardy is two sets of Laurel and Hardys, Our Relations milks its central mistaken-identity situation for all it's worth. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are two solid citizens, happily married and highly respected in their community. One morning, Hardy receives a letter from his mother, ...

Law of the Pampas (1939) more movies like this

directed by Nate Watt
featuring William "Hopalong" Boyd, Russell Hayden, Steffi Duna, Sidney Toler, Sidney Blackmer

If not the best of the Hopalong Cassidy films, Law of the Pampas is certainly one of the better-known entries. This time around, Hoppy (William Boyd) and his pal Lucky (Russell Hayden) head to South America to look after a herd of cattle sold by Cassidy's boss to an Argentine rancher. Villain Ralph Merritt (Sidney Blackmer) wants to get his mitts ...
