4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Better Chan Films, August 25, 2002

This review is from: Charlie Chan in Paris [VHS] (VHS Tape)

CHARLIE CHAN IN PARIS is one of the better entries in the Chan series. It is the tenth Charlie Chan film and the seventh in which Warner Oland plays the role of the venerable detective. It marks the first appearance of Keye Luke as Lee Chan, Charlie's number one son.

Philip MacDonald wrote the screenplay. Earl Derr Biggers, the author of the six Charlie Chan books, had died in 1933.

4.0 out of 5 stars Warner Oland is the true Charlie Chan, September 22, 2004

I agree with "daggerofthemind" that there is absolutely no making light of anything Chinese in this or any of the Charlie Chan films featuring Warner Oland as the famed detective. Sidney Toler however, while not being convincing as a Chinese, has made Chinese people angry at his not making any effort to speak Chinese while instead speaking gibberish while portraying Chan. As to this film, I think it is one of the best Charlie Chan films. This and all of the Warner Oland Charlie Chan films should be brought out on DVD as they should have already, and listed in front of the Sidney Toler films.
