黑骆驼 (1931)
黑骆驼 (1931) is the oldest surviving Charlie Chan film (友情链接) starring Warner Oland. 这是该系列的福克斯电影的第二部电影. 第一, 第三, fourth and fifth films are lost although a Spanish language version of Charlie Chan Carries On (Eran Trece, 1931) does exist. 黑骆驼 was released on June 21, 1931. Besides Warner Oland, the film also starred Bela Lugosi, Ç. Hunter Gordon and a very young Robert Young.
Bela Lugosi is excellent as the mysterious Tarneverro, a Hollywood psychic, who may or may not be what he appears. This film was released after Lugosi made his epic film debut in 德古拉 (1931). It is difficult to make your debut in the best film that you will ever appear in. 然而, Lugosi still does an admirable, if less spectacular job, 在 黑骆驼.
Warner Oland as Charlie Chan – 在Creative Commons礼貌
Warner Oland makes his second appearance as Charlie Chan. Inspector Chan is lively in this film as he searches for the murderer. Inspector Chan is helped in his investigation by Kashimo, played by Otto Yamaoka. I find this aspect of the film distasteful and highly insulting in it’s characterization of Kashimo. 不幸的是, this type of “humor” is all too common in 1930s and 1940s Hollywood films.
Bela Lugosi was born Be’la Ferenc Dezso Blasko on October 20, 1882 in what is now Lugoj, Romania. Lugosi served in World War I. Lugosi then emigrated to the United States in 1920 上面的年龄 38. Lugosi was originally a stage actor and played Dracula on Broadway. Tod Browning convinced Lugosi to play the role of Dracula in the 1931 电影, which led to Lugosi’s stardom.

根据IMDB, Lugosi became a citizen in 1931. The highlight of his film career was his first film 德古拉 (1931). He never reached this height again although he did have a number of good performances. He also played in lots of “乙” 电影, which did not help his career.
Lugosi struggled with personal demons. He was addicted to drugs. Lugosi also married five times and divorced four times. He died of a heart attack on August 16, 1956. His widow buried him in his Dracula cape.
