Len Freeman: Welll
Rush: Yes, Louise.
Nothere: So can you read this?
Len Freeman: Unfortunately it wasn’t his best film…
Rush: Yes, NT.
Louise:
LibraryJim: You can see he’s struggling with his health in this one.
Nothere: Setting things to Hungarian didn’t change much. 🙂
Rush: No, but, as has been said before: “The only bad Chan movie is NO Chan movie!”
Louise: Yes Rush!
Rush: 🙂
Matt1: And we have an Oland next week?
Len Freeman: The script and acting are not up to the usual CC levels.
Rush: That’s right!
Matt1: Wahoo!
Rush: We celebrate Oland’s birthday with “Charlie Chan in London.”
Nothere: And now the unsuspecting gather little knowing of the fate that awaits them.
Rush: True, Len.
Len Freeman: Still… Sidney does a good job with what was weak material
Nothere: O.k. I give up. How did you guys change the color of your pots?
Rush: And, also, this one sets the “record” for screaming!
Nothere: posts even.
Len Freeman: LOL yes
Rush: Click the pain bucket icon.
Nothere: Just one reason I call this the slasher Chan Rush.
LibraryJim: we can change the color???
Rush: AH!
Rush: Yes.
Nothere: u
Matt1: No way!
Rush: BUT we need to do that with EACH post.
Nothere: That’s it Jim. Show off.
Len Freeman: Ahhhh… Ok now I get your reference NH
Rush: Cannot set it to remain that way throughout.
Nothere: so
Nothere: AHHH I did it. Yeah m:)
LibraryJim: Me?show off? Unheard of.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Color.
Matt1: Word
Louise: oh you are all artists!
Matt1: Cued!
Mike n Rachel in DC: This seems a little dark
Rush: Here is a vintage postcard showing a landmark that we will see at the start of the film…
Nothere: Course it’s not the only horror movie type set up. Egypt and Wax Museum could easily have een redone as horrors.
Rush:
Nothere: Oh and Dead Men Tell.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Malibu Beach…
Len Freeman: Ah yes
Rush: Yes.
LibraryJim: Great getting Popcorn oil on my keyboard!
Rush: 6 minutes until showtime….

Rush: Please pause at the opening title…
Nothere: What no butter? You animal.
Nothere: AHOOOOOO!
LibraryJim: nah, just what was in the bag to pop the stuff.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Having a little post-dinner Brie here…
Nothere: Brie in your Beret?
Len Freeman: A nice sidenote in this is Kirk Allyn as the patrolman…. who’d later (1948) become the first movie Superman in his breakout role
LibraryJim: bet melted Brie would go well with popcorn.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sounds like a Food Network feature, LJ
Rush: Remember to look for that mysterious figure who walks in front of the stationary camera on the beach as the opening credits are apprearing….
Rush: 37 seconds in…
Nothere: Look their on the road. It’s a rabbit. It’s a motorcycle. It’s the future Superman.
Rush: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: Is it Alfred Hitchcock?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Very welcoming, she is.
Rush: Yes.
Louise: As I always say, they have an old Victorian lady in 19th century dress
Godwinshelley2: Maybe it was work-attire for house keepers
Mike n Rachel in DC: She looks like “American Primitive”
Nothere: So group of coeds go to a well this isn’t exactly an isolated house. First slasher tropeCreepy housekeeper. Aecond lasher trope.
LibraryJim: Not to mention the spooky housekeeper. Mrs. Igor.

Len Freeman: Lindsay thinks Mantan is great physical comedy

Mike n Rachel in DC: The famous “cape scene.”
Nothere: Alright it’s the Phantom of the Opera.

Louise: Who has not wanted to strangle their kid…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Garrotter?
Rush: Our new vocabulary word for today…
danventure has joined this room
Nothere: Hey Dan
danventure: Ha! I remembered!
Rush: A fancy word for a strangler!
Cdirus: Hi Dan!
Rush: DV! WELCOME!!!
danventure: And just in time for vocabulary too.
Nothere: And were grateful you did.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Like they say…with friends like that…
LibraryJim: By George, Jimmy got it!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey DV!
danventure: Where are we in the timeline?
Rush: 32:15
Rush: 32:30…
Mike n Rachel in DC: The Maestro again…
Rush: 32:45…
Rush: 33:00…
Rush: Beach scene…
Nothere: Squeltcher,
Rush: 33:15…
Nothere: Throttler
danventure: Ah, case of the crabs…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh dear!
Nothere: Asphixiator.
Matt1:
Rush: TYSM, Matt…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Or Asphixatrix?
Nothere: Don’t be crabby Mike:)
Rush: garroted – The act of being strangulated in a manner reminiscent of the old Spanish method in which prisoners were executed, usually by the use of an iron collar.
“Doc” Brandt: “She was garroted, a cord around her neck.”
Rush: Suicide!!!
LibraryJim: Suicide???
Rush: Easy to debunk that theory!
Nothere: It’s possible. I knew a guy who accidently fell on a knife with hiss back seven times.
LibraryJim: First a Chinese trick, now a woman’s knot. That guy is a wealth of misinformation
Rush: More location shots.
Rush: This and “The Black Camel” were the ONLY Chan films that made use of an actual location.
Nothere: How can you have put me in this movie. There a lot of guys a buff as me , and they take off their shirts. I’ll never be Superman with films like thi.
Rush: 🙂
Louise: Lordy stop screeching
Rush: Yes.
Rush: Pretty soon, Cole King will join the “hysteric’s parade.”
Nothere: Well folk this is where I leave you. May Clem’s dulcet tones not sing you to sleep until I am not here again.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Good evening NT
Rush: TYSM, NT.
Rush: Take care…
LibraryJim: Night NT
Len Freeman: Nite NH
Rush: Have a happy and safe week.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Perhaps the Maestro is familiar with the chords?
Rush: Next week: “Charlie Chan in London.”
danventure: You are right, Rush, on locations in CC. I had fun tracking down the restaurant shown in the opening. Building still there.
Rush: AH!
Nothere has left this room
Rush: Very good, DV!
Rush: Is it still called the “Malibu Inn”?
angel & fox has joined this room
Rush: ANGEL!!!!
angel & fox: HELLO!
Rush: Welcome BACK!
Rush: How have you been?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hello A&F!
angel & fox: GLEETINGS, FERROW DETECTIVE!
LibraryJim: MarCia,MarCia,MarCia.
LibraryJim: Hi angel
angel & fox: John! John! John!
Rush: And, greetings to YOU!
Rush: It has been way too long!
Rush: Third door on the left, Angel!
danventure: Sadly, the “Malibu Inn” is no more. Perhaps some distant descendant.
angel & fox: embarrassed at attention We am, and i are, FYNE! Yes it HAS been too long…
Rush: YES!
angel & fox: i hope to resume regular attendance at the roundtable soon—i have been away in quest of a HOUSE, which i SIGNED PAPERS ON last Friday!
Rush: Note the tire tracks on the pavement showing evidence of earlier run-throughs.
Mike n Rachel in DC: clammed up
Godwinshelley2: Congrats on the home Angle
Rush: CONGRATULATIONS, Angel!
Godwinshelley2: Angel
Rush: Angel, do you have a copy of our film?
angel & fox: I am grateful to YOU ALL for your kind remarx!
Rush: (bowing…)
angel & fox: As to Our Film—i THINK SO—thanks to LEN here, i have a PLAYABLE (the one i bought on Amazon was not) CC Box Set—
Rush: I would submit that this is the most “emotional” of all Chan films in the series!
Rush: AH!
Rush: Are you able to watch along with us?
Rush: Or, is the DVD packed away in preparation for your move?
angel & fox: On setting up housekeeping, one of the requisites will be Media Friendliness (NO politics here, folks!)—i want the house as wired (or wireless) as i am, & may START the video system with a CHARLIE CHAN MARATHON!
Godwinshelley2: Sounds like a wise choice
Rush: Sounds like a great idea, Angel!
Rush: Cabaña.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Copa?
Rush: 🙂
angel & fox: To your apropos question(s), Rush, the CC Box Set is right at hand, but i fear by the time i slot the disc in Birmingham will have solved tonight’s crime as he does every Monday night approx 9PM Eastern.
Rush: Well…we have roughly 20 minutes remaining…
Len Freeman: happy Chan set find home in new home..
angel & fox: I MAY WELL put tonight’s film on the private screen here just to re-waken old bones to winds of heinous crime, after we break!
Rush: “Leisurely hunter have time to stalk prey, but hunter in haste must set trap.”
Rush: Len: 🙂
Rush: A nice thought, Angel!
Rush: They need some cats.
Rush: Funny bit here…
angel & fox: We ALL need some cats.
Rush: Searching for a secret panel…?
Rush: Jimmy didn’t see him!
Mike n Rachel in DC: put…the…candle…back
angel & fox: At the garage where i work, people come in with Catalytic Converter issues. I tell them the environment may be one thing, but for all the devices out there, there’s no evidence of any cats being converted.
Rush: 🙂
Rush: 🙂
Rush: (One for mike…one for Angel)
angel & fox: Ever.
Rush: (Clunk!)
angel & fox: Right-o, Rush!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Angel…look for the cats with yarmulkes. Easy to find the converts.
angel & fox: My gran would say “here’s mud in your eye”, but that may have been cuz my gramp was an optometrist.
Louise: SCREAM! again
Rush: You guys are ON tonight!
LibraryJim: he swings — a miss. He swings again — a hit!
Rush: So is Clementine…
angel & fox: MnR:
angel & fox: Oh my darling!
Rush: Mrs. weebles stepped over her!
Rush: Interesting fish trophy!
angel & fox: Dreadful sorry, Clementine. There was mud in my eye.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Does Mrs. Weebles wobble?
angel & fox: Gimme that filet of fish, give me that fish.
angel & fox: I recall Mrs.Thatcher cautioning B-41 “Don’t go weebly, George”.
Rush: So, our two words for tonight: Garrote (garroted, garroter) and cabana.
Rush: Cole King’s lost it.
Mike n Rachel in DC: We are ready for the Chan SAT!
angel & fox: At the Copa, don’t fall with gloves.
Len Freeman: King Cole did not win an Oscar for this role….
Rush: NO!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Clearly the strain of conducting a vaudeville orchestra has put the Maestro over the edge.
Rush: Yes.
Mike n Rachel in DC: “…make Chan look like a monkey.” Right. Good luck with that, big guy.
Rush: Maybe that’s why the troupe planned a nice restful stay at the beach.
angel & fox: MnR, the proctors have excused you from the timed SAT’s. A combined 1350 has been conferred on you, another 40 points could be finessed if a certain fox fur was to turn up in the Dean’s office.
Rush: So the Maestro could rest his jangled nerves.
angel & fox: With the right makeup, the monkey might look like Chan—to a blind horse.
Rush: Sonds like a DEAL, Angel!
Mike n Rachel in DC: searches for fox fur
angel & fox: MnR—Rush—we WON’T tell the Varsity Blues guys. Strictly QT here, need-to-know, don’tcha know.
Rush: Duct work…not meant for human traffic!
Louise: Did someone say fox fur?
Rush: Jimmy will find that out soon…
Cdirus: I have a mink skin and a squirrel tail, will that do?
Rush: Louise…I think that may have come up, yes!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rabbit’s foot?
Rush: CD: 🙂
angel & fox: MnR: Just leave it draped over the Dean’s armrest. You can send the fancy box over when you find it.
Len Freeman: Linday says Feets dont fail me now
Rush: Send the repair bill to Mr. Chan.
angel & fox: You can lead a goose to water, but you can’t make a duck work. Not for these wages.
Rush: 🙂
Len Freeman: JImmy in blackface
angel & fox: Remember Little Feat?
Len Freeman: have they no shame
Rush: Yes.
Rush: I mean, no.
angel & fox: I thought that was Justin Trudeau!
Rush: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: LOL
angel & fox: EVERYBODY wants to get in to the act.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Bigfoot? Is he in this movie?
Rush: BB got stunned by the fall?
Rush: The chase….
Mike n Rachel in DC: Pretty heroic chase music
angel & fox: I get stunned by the autumn. And a beautiful horse. Or duck. DUCK!
Rush: 75….
Rush: That’s a slow 75….
Rush: Bumpy dirt road…
Mike n Rachel in DC: 75 kph perhaps
LibraryJim: he’d be flying over those bumps
Rush: CRASH!
angel & fox: Wagner was hoping to make the soundtrack here. Winifred went over to Adolf out of sour grapes.
Rush: And, an older model car, to boot!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Music and cliffhanger…just like a serial
Rush: YES!
angel & fox: Lovely Rita, don’t boot my car!
Rush: HA!
angel & fox: Suspense…SUSPENSION!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Cue sirens
Rush: Not a good way to enter the next life: “I hope he suffers.”
Len Freeman: CPR anyone
Rush: Too late….
Len Freeman: Happy Solution?!?
Rush: Time for DOA….
angel & fox: I WISH we could have SOUND! If i ever win the lottery, i’ll establish an Endowment for a hi-tech Chan Clan site.
Mike n Rachel in DC: smooch
Rush: 🙂
Matt1: I couldn’t post
Matt1: Grrrr
Rush: (Scream….)
Godwinshelley2: The END
Rush: BB gets the last laugh…
Len Freeman: OK….
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Matt1:
LibraryJim: look at that!
Rush: THE END…yes….
Rush: Well….
Mike n Rachel in DC: Not quite Gone With the Wind, but some nice moments.
danventure: Deep subject Rush
Rush: That is the final Sidney Toler film in the series….
Mike n Rachel in DC: Farewell, Sidney!
Rush: Next week….
danventure: Indeed.
angel & fox: Rush will be the Dean. Coffee mugs, tote bags & umbrellas will be provided to members like You, in partnership with the Geraldine R. Dodge dodge, and the chubby Chubb Group.
LibraryJim: better than I remembered it, maybe it gets better with each viewing
Matt1: Good night and have a great week
