还在唐人街的黄先生

尽管 Monogram 制作了该系列, the first film, 先生. Wong Detective (1938) 做得很好. 大多数“B”级电影的制作成本低于 $20.000 and took less than two week to make. 很多电影都很烂. Monogram also kept the production costs low by shooting the same basic films with different characters. 纽约码头 (1948) in the Monogram Charlie Chan series is almost an exact reproduction of this film with different characters.

先生. Wong assists the police in trying to identify the murderer of a wealthy industrialist. Nigh shoots one of the first scenes in Mr. Wong’s laboratory, which is within his well-decorated house. 先生. Wong’s intelligence and financial standing are established with this early scene. Most of the offensive racial content around Chinese characters in Hollywood films of the 1930s is missing from this film.

The movie is 68 minutes long and moves at a good pace. If you need to relax for an hour, this film is a good break. Let me know what you think of it.
