Take a look at a humorous TV commercial, made by Volkswagen to advertise its classic Beetle, circa 1968, featuring Marvin Miller as Charlie Chan. This advertisement was doubtless made as an effort to capitalize on the sudden upsurge in the detective’s popularity brought about by the release of the 20th Century-Fox Chan series and the exhibition of these films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Please use the image link below to access the commercial.
