Legacy posts about films from the silent and classic Hollywood film eras.
The series of the Charlie Chan films starring Warner Oland were probably the strongest films in the Charlie Chan series. Sidney Toler made several good films also but eventually the series would become low-budget “B” films produced by Monogram Pictures. Charlie Chan se geheime (1936) (Koste skakel) was one of the earlier Twentieth-Century Fox films about Charlie Chan. The production values
Die Swart Camel (1931) is the oldest surviving Charlie Chan film (Koste skakel) starring Warner Oland. Dit was die tweede film in die reeks vir Fox Films. Die eerste, derde, vierde en vyfde films verlore, hoewel 'n Spaanse weergawe van Charlie Chan dryf (Dertien was, 1931) bestaan. The Black Camel was released on June 21, 1931.
Ek het eers gehoor van Chang Apana in 'n featurette op een van die Charlie Chan DVD stelle. I knew a real life detective inspired Earl Derr Biggers to create Charlie Chan. I did not know who the man was. Chang Apana was that man. Chang Apana (born Ah Ping Chang) on December 26, 1871 on the island of Oahu was
Charlie Chan by die Wax Museum (1940) hoofrol Sidney toler as Charlie Chan is my gunsteling Charlie Chan film. Charlie Chan is op soek na 'n moordenaar in 'n was museum.

Dertien was (1931) is die Spaanse weergawe van Charlie Chan dryf. Charlie Chan dryf het nie oorleef of ten minste nog nie gevind nie, so this film (affliliate link) gives us our only look at the lost film. Terwyl dit is gebaseer op dieselfde storie, the film had a completely different cast. Charlie Chan does
Charlie Chan in Panama (1940) stars Sidney Toler as Inspector Charlie Chan. In hierdie film, Inspector Chan is on the trail of the spy Riner. Riner intends to carry out an act of sabotage, when the American fleet passes through the canal. Inspekteur Chan ervaar 'n ongewone situasie, when he is arrested for the death of an American agent in
This movie is the first in a series (Koste skakel) of six films from Monogram Pictures released between 1938 en 1940. The series was a “B” formula film offering. The film would have been shown first on a double bill. The first five films starred Boris Karloff as Mr. James Lee Wong, while in the sixth film Keye Luke portrayed
Max Linder (1883-1925) gebou om die Pathe 'Film Studio in die vroeë 1900's. Linder’s comedy influenced Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd en Buster Keaton. Linder is largely unknown today because his biggest film successes were in the 1910s. Most of his films are considered lost. Film fans today have the benefit of resources like the Internet Archive, which has a number of
Wat gebeur is die eerste kommersieel suksesvolle kuns film (Koste skakel). Die Kabinet van Dr. Caligari (1920) is in Januarie vrygestel 1920 besig om 'n Duitse en internasionale sensasie. It marked the beginning of a German film revival during the 1920s The German Expressionist Movement in German art strongly influenced this film. Expressionist paintings were known for buildings sloped at
While it may not be on classic film lists, I love The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) (Koste skakel). It is an adaptation of the novel (Koste skakel) met dieselfde naam, geskryf deur Barones Orczy. The film concerns an English gentleman, who risks his life to save French aristocrats from the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney married Marguerite, a French woman with
