Editorial Reviews

Released in 1944 as Black Magic, this unusually absorbing (Los Angeles Times) mystery was celebrated on the revival circuit, making it one of the best-known films of the series! Filled with fun spiritualist gags, like levitating hankies and gamboling skeletons, Meeting at Midnight is a rendezvous you'll want to experience again and again! When Birmingham (Mantan Moreland) gets a job as a butler for the Bonner family, he doesn't know that they're con artists who specialize in trick sÃ(c)ances. But things get really spooky when a murder occurs and Charlie Chan's daughter Frances becomes a suspect! Charlie (Sidney Toler) surmises that nearly everybody has a motivebut even he doesn't yet realize how dangerous these ghoulish swindlers really are!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Basic Chan, December 13, 2002
By 
Edward F. Lapinskas "Fast Eddie" (Dade City, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
If you like the older genre mystery movies and are a "Chan Fan"
this is a must see. The off-spring are a little bit too cutsey
but that adds a little character to the film. Birmingham Brown is
a necessary element in the Chan series by injecting some humor.
As a parent who raised his kids on the 1930's & 1940's B / W mysteries this one is top family entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Chan Film, September 1, 2001
By 
Stephen I Taylor (Newtown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This is definitely my favorite Chan film. Sidney Toler is the best of the Chans. It is an atmospheric film with some wonderful scenes. I love the seances and the scene where Toler is hypnotized and appears to be walking off a ledge is
as scary a scene as in any Chan movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best movies I have ever seen!!, September 28, 2000
By A Customer
I don't care what anyone else says, this was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I don't really think it's relevent who the best actor or actress would have been, because this movie was made over fifty years ago. I don't see why more movies like this aren't produced, because you don't need adult content to sell a mystery!!
