陷阱 (1946)

陷阱 (1946) is the last Charlie Chan film (友情鏈接) starring Sidney Toler as Inspector Chan. 十一陳查理的電影十一屆說TOLER取得的會標圖片, 它標誌著維克多森容的回報 “不. 2 兒子吉米”. TOLER是拍攝期間生病死一般, 所以吉米和伯明翰布朗, 通過Mantan莫蘭發揮, 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”, 吉米陳. 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.

這部電影大約運行 68 分鐘. 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, I would probably pick Sidney Toler as my favorite film Inspector Charlie Chan. The Warner Oland films had better production values and more known stars. 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.
