Sidney TOLER katika mtego (1946)

Mtego (1946) ni mwisho Charlie Chan filamu nyota Sidney TOLER kama Inspector Chan. kumi na moja ya kumi na moja Charlie Chan films kwamba TOLER kwa ajili ya Monogram Picha, ni alama ya kurudi kwa Victor Sen Yung kama “Si. 2 Mwana Jimmy”. TOLER mara deathly mgonjwa wakati wa sinema, hivyo Jimmy na Birmingham Brown, played by Mantan Moreland, handle most of the action in the film. Sidney Toler moves noticeably slower in this film.

The film begins with a Police Sergeant pulling over a speeding vehicle. The vehicle contains a traveling performing group, who is vacationing at the beach. The sergeant releases the car with a warning. The troupe travels to the rental home where they will be staying. Shortly after arriving, one of the troupe is murdered. While the group deals with the first death, the unpopular fiance’ of the groups leader, the maestro, is also found murdered.

San Toy, a member of the group, calls for”the greatest detective in the world”, Jimmy Chan. Birmingham gets the message confused and tells Inspector Chan that Jimmy has been killed. Jimmy, who is out of the house at the time, is fine and leaves to meet up with them when he returns home. A relieved Inspector Chan discovers that Jimmy has not been hurt but determines to discover who is killing members of the troupe.

filamu (affiliate kiungo) runs approximately 68 dakika. Besides the suspenseful investigation, Victor Sen Yung and Mantan Moreland provide the usual comic relief. They also provided most of the action.

The 74-year old Toler was barely able to complete filming. He died of cancer in February 1947. Roland Winter would take over for nine more films with Monogram but these films would never touch the popularity of Toler’s films.

If you make me choose between Warner Oland and Sidney Toler, Pengine ningemchagua Sidney Toler kama Inspekta wa filamu ninayoipenda zaidi Charlie Chan. Filamu za Warner Oland zilikuwa na maadili bora ya uzalishaji na nyota zinazojulikana zaidi. I like Sidney Toler’s performance and his chemistry with Victor Sen Yung over the Oland films but just barely. Roland Winter’s Charlie Chan is a very distant third.
