Charlie Chan i Panama (1940)

Charlie Chan i Panama (1940) stjerner Sidney Toler som Inspector Charlie Chan. I denne filmen, Inspektør Chan er på sporet av spionen Riner. Riner har til hensikt å gjennomføre en handling av sabotasje, da den amerikanske flåten passerer gjennom kanalen.

Inspektør Chan opplever en uvanlig situasjon, when he is arrested for the death of an American agent in his hat shop. Inspector Chan is impersonating a merchant named Fu Yen. He assumes this identity to gain information from some of the local workers. When he arrives at the jail, he is reunited with his son Jimmy, spilt av Victor Sen Yung.

Although the United States had not entered World War II yet, the inference is that Riner is a German agent. In the film, agents of both the United States and Britain are pursuing Riner. Some of the suspects are a night club singer, a canal engineer, a night club owner, biologist and tobacco salesman. The film also starred Kane Richmond, a familiar “”B” movie actor, and Lionell Atwill.

Kane Richmond was born Fred Bowditch on December 23, 1906 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Among other characters he played Lamont Cranston aka the Shadow. A rather burly individual, he normally played the leading man in “B” filmer. He married actress Marion Burns. The marriage appeared to be a happy one as they remained married until his death at age 66 på Mars 22,1972.

Filmen går om 67 minutes and has somewhat of a surprising ending. La meg vite hva du synes om filmen.
