Matt1: Hello Dave!

Dave: Greetings!

Rush has joined this room

Rush: Good evening!

Matt1: Hello Rush!

Rush: hi, Matt and Dave!

Dave: Missed last week with some family distractions…

Dave: Evening, Rush!

Rush: I almost lost track of the time! I was watching “Stagecoach” on TCM.

Rush: A Chan actor was in it…

Dave: A fun film to watch…

Matt1: Ahhhh

Rush: Chris-Pin Martin.

Rush: From “Panama”

Rush: Yes! Great film!

Dave: Wasn’t John Carridine supposed to be in an early film?

Rush: Yes, including “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island”!

Dave: Wow! Can you imagine?

Rush: We DO see his picture on Rhadini’s office wall, though in the background!

Matt1: Interesting

Dave: Do you know what role he was set to play?

Rush

Rush: No, we don’t know the role.

Matt1: Perhaps there was a “file” for him?

Rush: YES!

Matt1: We’ll never know now, thanks to Charlie

Rush: Or, maybe he was set to be “The Turk”!

Dave: When Bogdonavich died, I viewed a revised version of the Fold film he did. It was quite good.

Rush: I have an impromptu “extra” about the 1936 Olympics. only about 5 minutes long.

Rush: Yes, Dave?

angelympic+kwikfoxrun has joined this room

Dave: It was available online, but took some searching to find.

Matt1: Hello A & F!

Rush: Angel…and Fox!

Rush: Good evening!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Hello Dave, hello Matt & Rush!!

Dave: angel/fox! In the house…

Rush: “Summertime for Hitler and the Olympics…” (To take a cue from “The Producers.”

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Don’t you boys move those easy chairs, we box seats for a living!

Rush: Yes, Angel!

Rush: And beware of kidnappers!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: We’ll be back for The Games, but just know a General Burkhalter asked us to adjust the timing clocks for some of the field events. Have your pilsner and knackwurst!! Mmmm mmmm!

Rush: 🙂

Rush: Well…we do have some good stock footage from that Olympics tonight in our movie!

Rush: In a few minutes I can post a link to a mini-documentary.

Rush: It looks like it has interviews made in the early 1970s from the glimpse I have had…

Rush: Anyone interested?

Matt1: Of course!

Rush: Ok…here it is…

Rushhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNKlxcqLKcM

Rush: let’s take a look!

Rush: No countdown.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Rush, we’re using 1930s hardwire setups in the gantry here (i’m directly over Daladier’s head, close enough to spit; Foxx is above that Simpson woman, who is WEARING a 5-fox stole—just imagine!): we can’t link. Is there a TITLE LINE on your vid?

Rush: AH!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: That Duke is shaming his bailiwick or whatever it is. A LOUSY king he’ll make. UGH!

Rush: Interesting?

Matt1: Very interesting….Thnx for sharing

Dave: He is still on his trip?

Matt1: Good setup for tonight for sure

Dave: Liked viewing the film!

Rush: The next one is only a couple of minutes. It’s about Jesse Owens…

Rush: Ready?

mda19083: hello folk

Rush: No countdown…

Rush: Hello, MDA!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Jessie definitely proved that Aryans were superior. /s

mda19083: thanks for the links – will check these out after tonight’s feature film

Mike n Rachel in DC: very nice video, Rush

Matt1: Thnx Rush

Rush: Pretty interesting, right?

Rush: I don’t recall hearing of this friendship.

Rush: Nice footage in all three mini-documentaries.

Matt1: The friendship story is moving

Rush: Yes!

Matt1: Wonder how Hitler took to that?

Mike n Rachel in DC: I’ve heard it mentioned…like “Owens got some pointers from a teammate” but it was great to see the person behind it.

Rush: The German athlete was really brave to show that kindness toward Owens!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes he was.

mda19083: only caught a few of the Olympic events this last round – monobob, curling and big air – I do not believe that any of those events were on the bill in 1936

Rush: Yes, Mike!

Rush: Not back then, probably!

Mike n Rachel in DC: There is a whole story just in that one moment. I’d bet that Hitler never knew about the conversation or friendship…

Rush: In the Winter Games, of course…

Dave: exactly, m/r…

Mike n Rachel in DC: There was hockey at the 36 winter olympics. 🙂

Rush: Those were held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936.

Rush: They didn’t have MeTV!

Mike n Rachel in DC: I’m still bummed that Pluto got de-planeted

Rush: Me too!

Godwinshelley2: Free2ViewTV app on Roku – “next menu over from “exclusives”

Dave: I like that, too

Godwinshelley2: At least that is what the Svengoolie Group Fans group says

Rush: I argue that Pluto has TWO moons, so how can it NOT be a planet!?

Dona: I agree MnR

Rush: The “Hopkins Ship.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey…this is the first drone!

mda19083: i thought pluto was a dog

Rush: Yes!

Dave: Another familiar face!

Dona: I just looked it up on google and it says they have partnered with hulu. I’ll look later and see if I can find it.

Dave: The extra on the phone line was in several Chan films

Rush: Yes!

Rush: Al Kikume as the police operator.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Give him more drugs & hold him there.

mda19083: tiger tea

Rich Maine: The fox appears

Dave: I recall the gangway scene…

Dave: Betty has a tone to her speech today…

Mike n Rachel in DC: slinky brunette

mda19083: love the team usa olympics apparel

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: That feature of the Hindy’s livery is jarring today.

Rush: But it’s the landing that’ll be the issue, Angel….at lakehurst.

hounder: the comic relief of ‘ or something like that’ pakes quick;y

Rich Maine: An adventuress! And a fillibuster!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Lee looks ready for ANY competition.

hounder: pales

mda19083: are there still adventuresses today?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Betty is way cuter

Rush: Not a good idea to bruse the shin of an Olympic athlete!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: She’s always looking for Dicks.

Dave: Ever observing Lee

Dave: ouch, angel/fox…

Rush: And…Lee observes…

Rush: lee uses his “Race Track” schtick!

mda19083: i’ll take that bet mike

Dona: yes mike

Rush: Cue the salutes and heel-clicks!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Mr. Shan? Or Herr Shan?

Dave: Reminds me of the police in Young Frankenstein…

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Major STRASSER: Not many years later he would be the Gestapo boss in Casablanca.

mda19083: dave – yes he does

Mike n Rachel in DC: Good call, Dave. He just needs the wooden arm.

Rich Maine: Yes the arm!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Don’t need a warrant; they’re in Germany.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Hoping anyway.

mda19083: oh no – not the comfy chair

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hm. Now he’s saying “Mr. Chan”. The morphing accent

Dave: Chan is so subtle

Rush: CC helps yet another officer on a case.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Maybe Dutch Masters?

Rush: “John Carradine is listed as a cast member in Hollywood Reporter production charts, but his participation in the final film has not been confirmed.”

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Betty’s around some real nogoodniks.

hounder: back

Mike n Rachel in DC: Olympics attracted riff-raff even in 36

Godwinshelley2: I believe there is another CC film where there is a dressing room with photos on the wall and one kind of looks like Carridine

Mike n Rachel in DC: What was the fur budget for this movie?

Rush: The L.A. Collssseum was used in these shots.

mda19083: another fur?

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: MnR: i WONDER!!

Rush: It was the site of the 1928 and 1984 Olympics.

Rich Maine: Coda!

Mike n Rachel in DC: “He’s speaking English”

Rush: Will it also be used in the 2028 Olympics?

Mike n Rachel in DC: “I only know German”

mda19083: yvonne roland took a lot of luggage on this outing

Rush: Actually, it was the 1932 Olympics!

Rush: Sorry!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: This is not the ’36 footage?

Mike n Rachel in DC: 🙂

Rush: Sawdust pit.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Must have cost H.Bruce Humberstone dozens of dollars to buy rights to Jesse’s film!!

Rush: And, the poles were made of bamboo then, I think.

Dave: Sawdust double

Mike n Rachel in DC: If this weren’t a family show there could be a lot of pole/Dick jokes here.

Rush: maybe, Angel!

Mike n Rachel in DC: I think you had to be pretty brave to be a pole vaulter then, Rush

Rush

mda19083: mike – good thing we are all adults here

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: MnR, they WEREN’T going UNTHOUGHT here!!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Damn Nazis ALWAYS gotta go spoil stuff. Sooner or later.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: How do you do WHAT?

Rush: 🙂

Rush: Now, the triangulation we see here would not work

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: We don’t have enough Gestapo.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes. This looks like 5th grade geometry class

mda19083: north by northwest – good movie

Rush: Triangulation should not mean a literal triangle, but three lines intersecting at a point.

Rush: Yes, MDA! 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: This is how Hitchcock figured out the title MDA

Matt1: Hello Dave!

Dave: Greetings!

Rush has joined this room

Rush: Good evening!

Matt1: Hello Rush!

Rush: hi, Matt and Dave!

Dave: Missed last week with some family distractions…

Dave: Evening, Rush!

Rush: I almost lost track of the time! I was watching “Stagecoach” on TCM.

Rush: A Chan actor was in it…

Dave: A fun film to watch…

Matt1: Ahhhh

Rush: Chris-Pin Martin.

Rush: From “Panama”

Rush: Yes! Great film!

Dave: Wasn’t John Carridine supposed to be in an early film?

Rush: Yes, including “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island”!

Dave: Wow! Can you imagine?

Rush: We DO see his picture on Rhadini’s office wall, though in the background!

Matt1: Interesting

Dave: Do you know what role he was set to play?

Rush

Rush: No, we don’t know the role.

Matt1: Perhaps there was a “file” for him?

Rush: YES!

Matt1: We’ll never know now, thanks to Charlie

Rush: Or, maybe he was set to be “The Turk”!

Dave: When Bogdonavich died, I viewed a revised version of the Fold film he did. It was quite good.

Rush: I have an impromptu “extra” about the 1936 Olympics. only about 5 minutes long.

Rush: Yes, Dave?

angelympic+kwikfoxrun has joined this room

Dave: It was available online, but took some searching to find.

Matt1: Hello A & F!

Rush: Angel…and Fox!

Rush: Good evening!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Hello Dave, hello Matt & Rush!!

Dave: angel/fox! In the house…

Rush: “Summertime for Hitler and the Olympics…” (To take a cue from “The Producers.”

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Don’t you boys move those easy chairs, we box seats for a living!

Rush: Yes, Angel!

Rush: And beware of kidnappers!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: We’ll be back for The Games, but just know a General Burkhalter asked us to adjust the timing clocks for some of the field events. Have your pilsner and knackwurst!! Mmmm mmmm!

Rush: 🙂

Rush: Well…we do have some good stock footage from that Olympics tonight in our movie!

Rush: In a few minutes I can post a link to a mini-documentary.

Rush: It looks like it has interviews made in the early 1970s from the glimpse I have had…

Rush: Anyone interested?

Matt1: Of course!

Rush: Ok…here it is…

Rushhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNKlxcqLKcM

Rush: let’s take a look!

Rush: No countdown.

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Rush, we’re using 1930s hardwire setups in the gantry here (i’m directly over Daladier’s head, close enough to spit; Foxx is above that Simpson woman, who is WEARING a 5-fox stole—just imagine!): we can’t link. Is there a TITLE LINE on your vid?

Rush: AH!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: That Duke is shaming his bailiwick or whatever it is. A LOUSY king he’ll make. UGH!

Rush: Interesting?

Matt1: Very interesting….Thnx for sharing

Dave: He is still on his trip?

Matt1: Good setup for tonight for sure

Dave: Liked viewing the film!

Rush: The next one is only a couple of minutes. It’s about Jesse Owens…

Rush: Ready?

Matt1: Yep

Rush: Here is the link…

Matt1: Thnx Rush

hounder: hi dave

Dave: Watching the Jesse Owens vid that Rush posted…

hounder: hi rush

Matt1: I think Jesse had his running shoes stolen before the race, no?

Rush: e have been watching a couple of 1936 Olympics shorts.

Dave: Both were good appetizers for this evening…

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: JessEE! JessEE!!

Rush: How are you all tonight?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Ah. Is there a link(s) above?

Matt1: In this chat box

mda19083: hello folk

mda19083: thanks for the links – will check these out after tonight’s feature film

Mike n Rachel in DC: very nice video, Rush

Matt1: Thnx Rush

Rush: Pretty interesting, right?

Rush: I don’t recall hearing of this friendship.

Rush: Nice footage in all three mini-documentaries.

Matt1: The friendship story is moving

Rush: Yes!

Matt1: Wonder how Hitler took to that?

Mike n Rachel in DC: I’ve heard it mentioned…like “Owens got some pointers from a teammate” but it was great to see the person behind it.

Rush: The German athlete was really brave to show that kindness toward Owens!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes he was.

mda19083: only caught a few of the Olympic events this last round – monobob, curling and big air – I do not believe that any of those events were on the bill in 1936

Rush: Yes, Mike!

Rush: Not back then, probably!

Mike n Rachel in DC: There is a whole story just in that one moment. I’d bet that Hitler never knew about the conversation or friendship…

Rush: In the Winter Games, of course…

Dave: exactly, m/r…

Mike n Rachel in DC: There was hockey at the 36 winter olympics. 🙂

Rush: Those were held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936.

Dave: guzenheit…

Rush: I watch Svengoolie regularly.

Dona: I have hulu live

Dona: i’m not sure I have that

Rush: Not all carriers habe MeTV.

Rich Maine: Check out Pluto TV, lots of old TV and movies

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: In the Bizarroworld Chan films, Our Hero is played by W.C.Fields.

Dave: Other Dithers sighting….

Rush: That was the reason I didn’t switch to a less expensive service!

Rush: They didn’t have MeTV!

Mike n Rachel in DC: I’m still bummed that Pluto got de-planeted

Rush: Me too!

Godwinshelley2: Free2ViewTV app on Roku – “next menu over from “exclusives”

Dave: I like that, too

Godwinshelley2: At least that is what the Svengoolie Group Fans group says

Rush: I argue that Pluto has TWO moons, so how can it NOT be a planet!?

Dona: I agree MnR

Rush: The “Hopkins Ship.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey…this is the first drone!

mda19083: i thought pluto was a dog

Rush: Yes!

Dave: Another familiar face!

Dona: I just looked it up on google and it says they have partnered with hulu. I’ll look later and see if I can find it.

Rush: Perhaps Disney named him after the then-new planet, discovered in 1936?

mda19083: c henry gordon

Rush: Yes!

Dave: Sad ending to his life…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Who Dave. Gordon?

Rush: THE IDENTITY OF THE NAVAL SEARCH VESSEL: U.S.S. Preble (DD-345)

mda19083: besides oland, toler and winters which actor has the most chan film appearances – any idea?

Rush

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Kid logs first find!

Dave: Gordon had a blood clot, had a leg amputated and died shortly after

Rush: Charlie, Jr. made an important discovery on that beach!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Or Gordon? (ouch, Dave)

Rush: I like CC’s black shirt with the white Panama!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: He didn’t steal it! He STOLE it!

Dave: Handsome look for Charlie, rush

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: That IS a good look!

hounder: the comic relief of ‘ or something like that’ pakes quick;y

Rich Maine: An adventuress! And a fillibuster!
