01-19 18:49
Hawaii_Steve:
Rush, do I have your permission to show the new pix I took of Kailua Beach today?
01-19 18:50
Rush:
That’s where my younger one goes.
Of course!
Permission never needed!
01-19 18:51
Hawaii_Steve:
I don’t want it to appear that I’m Mr. Know-It-All when it comes to The Black Camel. I am very fortunate to be living near the filming area.
01-19 18:52
Rush:
YES! And your input is valued very much!
01-19 18:53
Rush:
You have firsthand knowledge of all the sights seen in our film!
Please “go for it!”
01-19 18:53

01-19 18:54
Matt:
I ‘ve been a couple times actually
01-19 18:54
Hawaii_Steve:
Today I posted a comment on the message board. Each time I edited my post, I was asked if I was human or not. I registered as an alien.
01-19 18:55
Rush:
Next time, Matt, Steve can be a great tour guide to all the Chan sites!
Steve:
01-19 18:55
Matt:
I’d like that
01-19 18:55
Hawaii_Steve:
Matt, did we know one another when you visited Hawaii? What year? I’ve been here 31 years now.
01-19 18:55
Rush:
Well, that “I am human” check is a great thing they just added! We have had NO SPAM since it was added by Bravenet.
01-19 18:56
Hawaii_Steve:
Did Bravenet charge you for the extra security?
01-19 18:56
Rush:
No extra charge.
I think it is system-wide.
01-19 18:56
Hawaii_Steve:
I see that the SPAM has stopped. Good thing.
01-19 18:57
Rush:
I assume ours was not the only Board with the spam troubles.
01-19 18:57
Matt:
Oh, yes. First trip was my 1st year here on the CC chat. I purposely stayed at Royal for a few nights….about 20ish years ago? My last trip was in January last year as part of my World Cruise

Rich in Maine:
some of those pre-hays films were pretty racy
01-19 19:30
Rush:
Yes.
01-19 19:30
Hawaii_Steve:
The current rating system started with Rosemary’s Baby, if I am not mistaken.
01-19 19:31
Rush:
Hence the code was instituted.
And “Bonnie and Clide” as well, perhaps.
01-19 19:31

01-19 19:32
Rich in Maine:

01-19 19:32
*Charlie’s Angel*:

01-19 19:36
*Charlie’s Angel*:
When pizzeria finds out SHE stole their tablecloth for a beach wrap—-!
01-19 19:36
Rush:
Still something of a mystery, but from all script-based information, no dialogue was lost.
01-19 19:36
Nothere:
If Fayne speaks to you it’ll be a strain

01-19 19:39
Rush:
01-19 19:39
Hawaii_Steve:

01-19 19:40
Rush:
Ah, thank you, Steve!
01-19 19:40

Hawaii_Steve:
During the 1930s, Otto Yamaoka was a popular comic actor. It all ended for him on December 7th 1941.
01-19 19:45
Rush:
True, NT!
01-19 19:45
Nothere:
Now we know how Charlie learned about Dr. Creams past.
01-19 19:45
Rush:
Sadly, Steve.
01-19 19:46
Nothere:
Otto? he dosen
t look like an Otto
01-19 19:46
Hawaii_Steve:
Both Sen Yung and Otto Yamaoka appear in “The Letter” (1940) starring Bette Davis. A great movie.
01-19 19:46
*Charlie’s Angel*:
SCHOLARS —-did Hashimo actor have any future film roles?
01-19 19:47
Rush:
Thank you, Steve. I will need to see that one someday.
01-19 19:47
Hawaii_Steve:
Several… until the start of WWII.

01-19 19:47
tenman:
Yes, The Letter was very goo!
01-19 19:47
Hawaii_Steve:
“The Letter” is Sen Yung’s favorite movie. Liked it more than the Chan films.
01-19 19:48
Nothere:
His last role was a guest apperance in the Naked City in 1962. The city was naked scandalous
01-19 19:48
Rush:
Interesting, Steve!
01-19 19:48
Hawaii_Steve:
Is there an English translation of what the Chinese cook said?
01-19 19:48
Rush:
“Even bagpipe will not speak when stomach is empty.”
01-19 19:49
Rich in Maine:
no dinner folks, just coffee
01-19 19:49
Nothere:
No dinner? Thats it ewe riot.
01-19 19:49
Rush:
No translation as far as I know, Steve.
That is something that we can try to work on getting!
01-19 19:50
Hawaii_Steve:
In “The Letter” Sen Yung plays a henchman to Gail Sondergaard. Totally evil. No Jimmy Chan in “
01-19 19:50
*Charlie’s Angel*:
The great red slash!
01-19 19:51
Hawaii_Steve:
“The Letter.”

01-19 19:51
Nothere:
This guy ppays way too much attentiuon to what time it is.
01-19 19:52
Rush:
The opportunity to play against type probably appealed to Victor Sen Yung.
01-19 19:52
Nothere:
Big clue
01-19 19:52
Hawaii_Steve:
Yes, Rush.
01-19 19:52

Rush:
01-19 19:54
Rich in Maine:
oh so sorry NT, a thousand pardons …I will cut our my tongue
01-19 19:54
Rush:
If we see this one enough, we coud possible have something of a “Purple Rose of Cairo” experience!
01-19 19:54
Hawaii_Steve:
Based on the acting style, I am guessing that the cast members are theater-typed actors. It’s the style.
01-19 19:55
Nothere:
No need to go that far Rich. Beating yourself with wet noodle will suffice. Jayne tell him you have to leave orders. WQorks for Fushimo.

01-19 20:00
Hawaii_Steve:
All the scenes shot in Oahu were filmed in 5 to 7 days… from an unfinished script! It’s true.
01-19 20:00
Rush:
Multiply these numbers by about 20 for today’s equivalents.
01-19 20:00
Nothere:
So howe many beads is 500 dollars
01-19 20:00
Rich in Maine:

If anyone else is interested in watching The Letter, it’s on the russian site that has the Chan movies w/o ads

Interesting studionset.

This girl is seen in Shanghai as Lee’s telephone girlfriend.
01-19 20:02

HonoluLou and Hawaii_Steve.
01-19 20:05

As an old man, I urinate on myself all the time, and I get no action. Am I doing something wrong?
01-19 20:05

Sorry..that one was above my knowledge of jokes!
01-19 20:07
Nothere:
It was a running gag
01-19 20:07
Hawaii_Steve:
Rush, see Tenman’s Billy Goat reference above. I was making a joke on his comment. Get it?
01-19 20:07

She actually CAN stay in Honolulu now that her boss is deceased.
AH! TYSM, Steve!

Should have done a Kashimo insult count
01-19 20:08
tenman:
I know “get it got it good” but don’t remember from where
01-19 20:08
Hawaii_Steve:
Meeting location of Oland and Lugosi still there today. See arches in background.
01-19 20:08
Rush:
Lugosi with a stogie.
01-19 20:09

Yes!
I think that this spot is called “Ali’i Walk” today.
01-19 20:09

British quiz show Ten

01-19 20:11
tenman:

01-19 20:11
Rich in Maine:
so Denny and Arthur were Rumanian who settled in Australia
01-19 20:11
Rush:
And then, the kid in the white shirt gets into the scene.
01-19 20:12
Rush:
He probably made a hit with his friends when the film was shown later!
Yes, Rich!
01-19 20:12
Hawaii_Steve:
The kid in the white shirt is trying to steal the scene. Jerking all around.
01-19 20:12
Rich in Maine:
poor smith
01-19 20:12
tenman:
It has always puzzled me they iddn’t get him a doctor or take him to a hospital. Just watched him die.
01-19 20:13
Nothere:
It was night when he was shot at least breakfast time now. It might have helped Ten
01-19 20:13
Hawaii_Steve:
Smith was a beach bum. No home. No relatives.
01-19 20:13
Rush:
Yes, TM.
01-19 20:14
Rush:
A doctor removed the bullet, but they didn’t take him to a hospital.
Probably so, Steve!
01-19 20:15
Nothere:
No home? He moved from sandy spot?
01-19 20:15
Rush:
“A native doctor.”
01-19 20:15
Matt:
01-19 20:15
tenman:
From the way it’s said and the date of the movie, probably not an MD
01-19 20:15

“Smith” appears in several other Chan movies.
TYSM…Matt…

Did I miss a TYSM, Angel?
01-19 20:16

The scratches.
01-19 20:17
*Charlie’s Angel*:
You DIDN’T MISS ONE, Rush! A stray slip of the fingers!
01-19 20:17
Rush:
The thrown knife! How did the “tosser” escape being seen?
TYSM…Angel!
01-19 20:17
Hawaii_Steve:
In my opinion, I think that The Black Camel would make a great stage play. Given the staging of the film.
01-19 20:17
*Charlie’s Angel*:
We’re at 1:03:00 here
01-19 20:17

Yes, Steve. A lot of interior scenes…suitable to the stage.
01-19 20:19
Rush:
The book “Keeper of the Keys” was made into a stage production.
01-19 20:19
Nothere:
Well if it becomes a play no one say Macbeth
01-19 20:20
*Charlie’s Angel*:
oh-HO!
01-19 20:20
Hawaii_Steve:
For a week performance. “Keys” didn’t take well to the stage.
I seem to remember.

No, it didn’t.

Okay. I’ll have to check on that one.
01-19 20:22

However, it was adapted into a short-lived Broadway play in 1933, by Valentine Davies, with William Harrigan playing Charlie Chan.[1]

Hawaii_Steve:
Palm Springs area.
01-19 20:24
Rush:
Sadly, at the end of the film, the exit music, played to a blackout, is cut short on the Fox DVD. It should actually play for close to a minute.
01-19 20:24
Rush:
Yes, Steve?
When Marie and I waer there in 1993, there was also a big quake.
01-19 20:25
