01-20 19:25
Rush:
They are bubbles as the globe is water-filled!
01-20 19:25
Nothere:
I have spotted the spots.
01-20 19:26
Paul Minturn:
hi gang
01-20 19:26
Rush:
Looking closely, at some point we see one of the bubble break loose and rise!
01-20 19:26
Hawaii_Steve:
If you look closely into the globe, one will see Judy Garland and some flying monkies.
01-20 19:26
Rush:
hello, Paul!
WELCOME!!!!
01-20 19:26
Hawaii_Steve:
Monkeys
01-20 19:26
Nothere:
I see….I see…a seesaw.
01-20 19:27
Rush:
see it?
01-20 19:27
Godwinshelley:
I’m told a mix of bleach and water makes a great thing to shine light through (like a milk jug) for brightness
01-20 19:27
Rush:
Denny Mayo!
01-20 19:27
Barbie Dahl:
Having issues with my dvd… grr
01-20 19:27
Louise:
Great lighting though
01-20 19:27
tenman:
Yes, it’s the water. Just a bit of bleach to keep it from stagnating
01-20 19:27
Barbie Dahl:
Hello Paul👋🏻
01-20 19:27
Rush:
Sorry, BD…
01-20 19:27
Hawaii_Steve:
Barbie, do you clean your player?
01-20 19:27
Barbie Dahl:
Time check please, Rush?
01-20 19:28
Rush:
How does one clean a DVD player, Steve?
01-20 19:28
Nothere:
1320
01-20 19:28
Rush:
Is there a special disc for that?
01-20 19:28
Hawaii_Steve:
I knew you were going to ask that. One moment please.
01-20 19:28
Barbie Dahl:
Thank you, nothere
01-20 19:28
Nothere:
There used to be a disk cleaning disk, but I don’t know they still saell them.
01-20 19:29
Rush:
On Amazon one can find virtually anything, NT!
01-20 19:29
tenman:
I need to find someone here to fix my vhs/dvr combo; works but eats tapes now. TReally hasn’t been used much.
I want to move alot of my vhs to dvd
01-20 19:29
Nothere:
Shelias mayo went bad thats why shes crying.
01-20 19:29
Barbie Dahl:
Yes, Steve, although this is a new one, just got it in end of November. I’m gonna give the lens a blast of air.
01-20 19:29
Rich in Maine:
So we never see Denny’s face, right? To check resemblance to Bela
01-20 19:30
Rush:
No we never see it.
The old stink eye!
01-20 19:30
Louise:
Ah hah!
01-20 19:30
Hawaii_Steve:
NO!!! Do not blast air into your player. NEVER do that.
01-20 19:30
tenman:
Air, eh? I have a can I use for my misters and keyboard. I’ll have to file that away as another use
01-20 19:30
Rush:
1313.
01-20 19:31
tenman:
Oh, no air?
01-20 19:31
Rich in Maine:

01-20 19:31
Nothere:

01-20 19:31
Rush:
Yes.
01-20 19:31
Nothere:
Not a ghost vampire.
01-20 19:31
Hawaii_Steve:
Buy this cleaner.
01-20 19:31
Godwinshelley:
Ha – been there
And the stairs
01-20 19:32
Rush:
CC’s badge.
01-20 19:32
Nothere:
Cheap? I’m at least a modest cosdt faker.
01-20 19:32
Rush:
The fountain we see is not there today.
01-20 19:33
Hawaii_Steve:
For DVD players, never blast air pressure into the player. Or stick a cue-tip into the player.
01-20 19:33
Hawaii_Steve:
Yes Rush. The fountain and the palm trees are long gone.
01-20 19:33
Nothere:
Sure mention murderer and then walk away. Your lucky your Bela Lugosi or youd be mysteriously murdered in five minutes.
01-20 19:34
Rush:
Steve, who are these singers again?
01-20 19:34
Hawaii_Steve:
Royal Gee Club girls.
01-20 19:34
Rush:
The blond acresss here played the gangster’s wife in “Charlie Chan Carries On”
01-20 19:34
Hawaii_Steve:
I think they were from a local high school. Guessing.
01-20 19:35
Rush:
Note the jump cut coming.
01-20 19:35
Godwinshelley:
So would the hotel pay the singers – or did they work for tips?
01-20 19:35
Nothere:
<TINCAN>
01-20 19:35
Hawaii_Steve:
Here it comes. The famous jump cut.
01-20 19:35
Rush:
No dialog is missing, but a bit of visual is.
01-20 19:36
Rush:
BD?
01-20 19:36
Hawaii_Steve:
It could have been a close up of a product.
01-20 19:36
Rush:
Do you have your bucket/can image?
01-20 19:37
Hawaii_Steve:
Whatever it was. The jump cut started showing up in TV viewings of the film. Beginning January 1954.
01-20 19:37
Rush:
Yes, steve.
01-20 19:37
Nothere:
So you claim to have an alibi?
01-20 19:37
Rush:
Funny line coming from Chan….
01-20 19:37
Barbie Dahl:
Sorry, guys. Having video issues here, just got back to YouTube.
01-20 19:38
Nothere:
2330
01-20 19:38
Rush:
Okay.
We just ended the driving scene.
01-20 19:38
Hawaii_Steve:
Oland and Lugosi drive past WWI Natiorium.
01-20 19:38
Rush:
Yes!
01-20 19:38
Rich in Maine:
driving long?
01-20 19:38
Barbie Dahl:
Sorry, Rush.
01-20 19:38
Rush:
It is gone now, right?
01-20 19:39
Nothere:
Don’t let the roasd tell you what to do Charlie. Your the law. And your actually in your juristicon.
01-20 19:39
Rush:
24:30
01-20 19:39
Hawaii_Steve:
Recently, I read a critic stating that this is Oland’s best performance as Chan. It could be.
01-20 19:39
Rush:
24:50
25:00
01-20 19:40
Barbie Dahl:
Got it, Rush, thank you.
01-20 19:40
Nothere:
Or to set their alibi tthe killer set watch and smashed it. Bad detective. Bad Taverno.
01-20 19:40
Rush:
Now hole os gone! 
Nice dark lighting here!
01-20 19:40
Barbie Dahl:
I always liked Oland, Steve. Least affected performance.
01-20 19:40
Rush:
Dramatic!
01-20 19:41
Louise:
I never understood this black camel comment
01-20 19:41
Rush:
Lights out!
01-20 19:41
Nothere:
Death is a b lack camel that puts me in sinister light, where is lamp?
01-20 19:41
Hawaii_Steve:
I’d walk a mile for a camel.
01-20 19:41
Rush:
01-20 19:41
Godwinshelley:
Showing your age Steve
01-20 19:42
Hawaii_Steve:
My grandmother told me about Camel Cigarettes.
01-20 19:42
Rush:
LSMFT
01-20 19:42
Nothere:
Yeah Steve. These days they get dilivered. And not by camel.
01-20 19:43
Hawaii_Steve:
Ha-ha!
01-20 19:43
Nothere:
Their not that old. Probably still sold today. Now Basil Rathbourne is saddened by loss of Fatima cigarretes.
01-20 19:43
Rush:
We see an uncredited actress in the background.
Her part is “Miss Dixon”
01-20 19:44
Nothere:
Whatever faults he has Kashimo sets to his job with great energy.
01-20 19:44
Rush:
Yes!
01-20 19:45
Burt Barnard:
It’s pretty bad when you wish it was number 4 son, rather than Kashimo!
01-20 19:45
Rush:
Blame the director on that!
01-20 19:45
Nothere:
He had really good liquor. Thats how I account for it.
01-20 19:45
tenman:
Do we know who plays Miss Dixon?
01-20 19:46
Hawaii_Steve:
Otto Yamaoka was a comic actor during the 1930s in Hollywood. His career ended with the start of WW2.
01-20 19:46
Rush:
Although in the book, Kashimo is not too different from the one we have with us tonight!
01-20 19:47
Rush:
It would be the face that is missing.
01-20 19:48
Nothere:
Thats easy for cook to say.
01-20 19:48
Barbie Dahl:
Fatima cigarettes with conquina bark, Nothere?
01-20 19:48
Rush:
01-20 19:48
Hawaii_Steve:
Continuity error: The wind blows when Otto opens the door. Why don’t the plant leaves move? Hmm.
01-20 19:48
Nothere:
Not sure. But they used to host Basil in a radio mystery sghow.
01-20 19:49
Godwinshelley:
HS – I had similar thoughts about Oland and Lugosi while driving – no wind in their hair
01-20 19:49
Hawaii_Steve:
GS, nice catch.
01-20 19:50
Burt Barnard:
Hey, I just saw that actor in CC at the Wax Museum! Dr. Creem.
01-20 19:50
Rush:
Yes, Burt!
01-20 19:50
Louise:
KISS!
01-20 19:50
Nothere:
Creem is all over the place. Behind curtainsd even.
01-20 19:51
Rush:
C. Henry Gordon. He was in the following Chan movies:
Charlie Chan Carries On: John Ross
The Black Camel: Huntley Van Horn
Charlie Chan at the Olympics: Arthur Hughes
Charlie Chan in City in Darkness: Prefect of Police J. Romaine
Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum: Dr. Cream
01-20 19:52
Louise:
Pennsylvania Academy of Art is now defunct
01-20 19:52
Barbie Dahl:
It was a joke, Bothered, at least two times CC has detected the presence of a cinquina bark additive in evidently cigarettes or ashes found on scene. I just figure everyone is huffing conquina back in the CC movies now.
01-20 19:52
Rush:
He is also seen in the audience at the end part of “Behind That Curtain”
01-20 19:53
Nothere:
Ah TYSM Barbie. Must check at tobacconist.
01-20 19:53
Rush:
“Mr. Smith” here was in several CC films as well…
01-20 19:53
Hawaii_Steve:
All the actors in this film are perfect in their roles. I really like Lugosi.
01-20 19:54
Rich in Maine:
Smith is saddest character ever.
01-20 19:54
Barbie Dahl:
Damn it! Sorry, NOTHERE. The damn spell correct changed your name… again.
01-20 19:54
Nothere:
Even with his overacting at search everybody?
01-20 19:54
Barbie Dahl:
Haha, nothere
01-20 19:54
Nothere:
Think nothing of it Barbie. I’m not offended or here even:)
01-20 19:55
Rush:
Murray Kinell
The Black Camel: Smith
Charlie Chan’s Courage: Martin Thorne
Charlie Chan in London: Philips (alias Captain Seton)
Charlie Chan in Paris: Henri Latouche
01-20 19:55
Hawaii_Steve:
The actor who over acts the most is Dwight Frye, near the end of the film.
01-20 19:55
Barbie Dahl:
You saw that, too, nowhere? Lol I’ve always wanted to rush into a scene with my arm raised and my finger pointing to the sky…
01-20 19:55
Godwinshelley:
Well Frye certain did the same in Dracula
01-20 19:55
Rush:
Yes, Steve!
01-20 19:56
Nothere:
WEre number one were number one.
01-20 19:56
Barbie Dahl:
Oh my Goddess 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
01-20 19:56
Louise:
Nothere is always nowhere in my book
01-20 19:56
Hawaii_Steve:
But in Dracula, Renfield was insane. The over acting fit the character … I believe.
01-20 19:56
Rush:
Yes.
01-20 19:57
Godwinshelley:
He was effective as Renfield – that laugh at the base of the ladder creepied me out as a kid
01-20 19:57
Hawaii_Steve:
Yes. Ha-ha-ha. Rats, millions of them.
01-20 19:57
Rush:
If this were in color, the water would be beautiful blues.
01-20 19:58
Hawaii_Steve:
Maybe. Kind of musky these days.
01-20 19:58
Rush:
I see.
01-20 19:58
Nothere:
What no new shoes?
01-20 19:59
Hawaii_Steve:
When the sewers back up in Honolulu, guess where all the waste goes? Giving you one guess.
01-20 19:59
Rush:
UGH1
Do they close the beaches then?
01-20 20:00
Nothere:
Hey fish swim in that.
01-20 20:00
Hawaii_Steve:
Yes, when the beaches get infected with waste, the city closes them.
NT, so do sharks.
01-20 20:00
Louise:
ewwww
01-20 20:00
Nothere:
Stubborn little blackmailer.
01-20 20:01
Rush:
The Chan family at breakfast.
01-20 20:01
Nothere:
First of only twice.
01-20 20:01
Rush:
Note the Number One Daughter here.
01-20 20:01
Hawaii_Steve:
01-20 20:01
Rush:
She was the daughter of EL Park…Charlie Chan in “Behind That Curtain”
TYSM…Steve!
01-20 20:01
Nothere:
Nepotisim.
01-20 20:01

Hawaii_Steve:
Dole factory in background.
01-20 20:02
Rush:
The roof is coming…
01-20 20:03
Hawaii_Steve:
WAtch for it.
01-20 20:03
Rush:
There!
01-20 20:03
Nothere:
Kashimo bored of currrent case? Want new one?
01-20 20:04
Rush:
That roof was what proved to us that Prospect street was where the driving scene was shot.
And, thus, where the Chan family would have lived.
01-20 20:04
Hawaii_Steve:
Yes Rush. I remember that Rush made me drive my car super slow to match the length of the scene in the film. Other cars came up behind us.
01-20 20:04
Barbie Dahl:
Chan would be proud of the sleuthing, Rush.
01-20 20:04
Godwinshelley:
Those crazy tourists
01-20 20:04
Rush:
And steve.
01-20 20:05
Hawaii_Steve:
LOL !!!
01-20 20:05
Nothere:
So Steve was Charlie and Rush Kashimo.
01-20 20:05
Rush:
01-20 20:05
Hawaii_Steve:
Very good.
01-20 20:05
Godwinshelley:
So Rush would yell “CLUE” when he sees the roof
01-20 20:05
Barbie Dahl:
Exactly
01-20 20:05
Hawaii_Steve:
Yipes ! Yes indeed.
01-20 20:06
Rush:
How’d you guess, GS?
01-20 20:06
Barbie Dahl:
He almost made Steve crash once or twice.😔
01-20 20:06
Rush:
“Never boast about egg until egg’s birthday.”
01-20 20:06
Barbie Dahl:
🙄
01-20 20:06
Nothere:
Charlie stop egging them on.
01-20 20:06
Hawaii_Steve:
From his visit to Honolulu, I remember Rush yelling Taco Bell, not clue.
01-20 20:07
Rush:
01-20 20:07
Barbie Dahl:
You might wind up with egg on your face…
01-20 20:07
Nothere:
ARIBA!

Barbie Dahl:

01-20 20:08
Rush:
Back at the Royal….
01-20 20:08
Nothere:
Still monkey, but not as happy.
01-20 20:08
Hawaii_Steve:
Godwinshelley, her husband and I stood in the same spot as Oland and Lugosi.
01-20 20:10
Nothere:
Name the name
01-20 20:10
Rich in Maine:

01-20 20:10
Hawaii_Steve:

01-20 20:11
Hawaii_Steve:
Here is the famous Waikiki Beach wall. Still standing today. It looks the same.
01-20 20:11
Rich in Maine:

01-20 20:12
Nothere:
You could have tried I don’t know getting a doctor last night?
01-20 20:12
Barbie Dahl:
Ya think?
01-20 20:13
Rich in Maine:

01-20 20:15
Barbie Dahl:
01-20 20:15
Nothere:
<TINCAN>
01-20 20:16
Nothere:
Ah she did get a doctor. One wjho just leaves the shot guy in bed without further treatment. I wanna see his licence.
01-20 20:16
Barbie Dahl:
Probably lost license and now practices out of his basement.
01-20 20:17
Rich in Maine:
a total quack!
01-20 20:17
Nothere:
Sure the scratches prove who the killer is but the knife hole means nothing.
01-20 20:17
Hawaii_Steve:
Mad World, one of my favorites.
01-20 20:17
Burt Barnard:
The doctor now has a wax museum and operates on criminals.
01-20 20:18
Barbie Dahl:
Mine, too, Steve. Great movie.
Dr. Cream!!
01-20 20:18

The big reveal
01-20 20:23
Godwinshelley:
That is on your website? Does it contain audio?
Where that is a mistake
01-20 20:24
Barbie Dahl:
Bela sounds totally believable as an Irishman named “Arthur Mayo.” It must be the thick Irish brogue that inches the role for him. 🙄
*CINCHES the role
