Charlie Chan in the Secret Service (1944) is the first Charlie Chan film produced by Monogram Pictures. Sidney Toler reprises his role as Inspector Charlie Chan. After Twentieth-Century Fox decided to cancel the series after Castle in the Desert (1942), Sidney Toler bought the production rights. He successfully shopped the rights for the series to Monogram. Sidney Toler made eleven
Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943) is the third (affiliate länk) of twelve Universal Picture productions of the Sherlock Holmes franchise. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce starred as Holmes and Watson respectively in two films for Twentieth-Century Fox and twelve more for Universal Pictures. This film is again set in the 1940s.

This movie is the first in a series (affiliate länk) of six films from Monogram Pictures released between 1938 och 1940. The series was a “B” formula film offering.
