Roland Winters v Golden Eye (1948)

Kým málo hercov hral Charlie Chan pred Warner Öland a niekoľko vykreslil inšpektor Chan po Roland Winters, Hlavná časť Earl Derr Biggers’ Charlie Chan filmovej adaptácie došlo medzi 1931 na 1949. Warner Oland began playing Charlie Chan in Čierna Camel (1931).

Po jeho smrti, Sidney Toler started playing the role of Charlie Chan in the 1938 film, Charlie Chan v meste Honolulu. Sidney Toler portrayed Inspector Chan longer than any other actor. He made twenty-two Charlie Chan films. Toler made eleven Charlie Chan films with Twentieth Century – Fox and eleven films with Monogram Pictures.

Po Sidney Toler smrti, Roland Winters took over the role for six more Monogram films. Roland Winters played Inspector Chan for the first time in Čínska Ring (1947). Čínska Ring is almost an exact reproduction of Pán. Wong v čínskej štvrti (1940), Both screen plays were written by W. Scott Darling.

The Golden Eye (1948) is the best of the Charlie Chan films starring Roland Winters as Inspector Chan. Pán. Manning, a western mine owner, has contacted his old friend, a curio dealer in San Francisco, because he believes someone is trying to kill him. The curio dealer contacts his old friend Charlie Chan.

Charlie Chan travels to the miner’s ranch with No. 3 son Tommy, hral Victor Sen Yung (who was No. 2 son Jimmy in the Sidney Toler series), and assistant Birmingham Brown, played by Mantan Moreland. Inspector Chan also meets his old friend “Lt. Mike”. Lt. Mike is investigating the crooked activities at the Golden Eye Mine also.

The western setting is a unique aspect to tento film (partnerský odkaz) particularly when Tommy and Birmingham dress to try and fit in. The action moves at a deliberate pace including some interesting scenes from the mine. This film is one of two Roland Winter’s films that are in the public domain.
