Trivia

The last of 47 Charlie Chan movies, though the character was revived in a 1957 TV series starring J. Carrol Naish ( The New Adventures of Charlie Chan; a total of 39 episodes), and in a couple of unrelated movies. George Kuwa and Sôjin, both Japanese, each played the role once in lost silents, E.L. Park, a British actor who made no other films, put in a tiny cameo as Chan in Behind That Curtain. The Swedish Warner Oland started the series proper in 1931 with Charlie Chan Carries On, doing a total of 16 entries, Missouri-born Sidney Toler replaced him for 22 more, and Massachusetts-born Roland Winters ended it with the last six. Polish-born Ross Martin completed a 1970 TV movie reviving the character, a failed attempt at a new teleseries, while London-born Peter Ustinov starred in a final theatrical release, Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen, scripted as a satire/spoof, which was not a success. In 1976 Peter Sellers sent up the character (called Sidney Wang) in Murder by Death. See more »
