Trivia
This is the only Spanish-language film in the entire original Chan series and the only one that doesn't feature Warner Oland as Charlie Chan. There were no other foreign-language Charlie Chan films made by Hollywood after this one because, shortly after this movie came out, a method of putting sound on the actual film was developed, and so voice dubbing became more practical.

Goofs
Whenever Charlie Chan or his wife are supposed to be speaking in Chinese, they are actually speaking in Japanese. This is especially evident in the scene at the docks in which Mrs. Chan bids Charlie farewell by saying "Sayonara".

Quotes
Inspector Duff: As my Chinese friend says, 'Seated hunter and running hare seldom meet.'

Interesting curiosity

"Eran Trece" has obvious novelty value - a Charlie Chan movie entirely in Spanish! - but beyond that, it's a pretty good little mystery on its own; it certainly looks good and moves well for a 1931 production. However, it goes on too long (for example, the entire "impressions at the party" sequence could have been cut), and - as in many later Chan pictures - the killer seems to be picked out of a lottery; there are no particular clues to indicate that it has to be person A instead of person B or person C. **1/2 out of 4.
