Eran trece (1931)
A different look for Charley.
Found this Spanish version, Eran Trece, with English subtitles. It was fun to watch reading what was going on. The Spain born Manuel Arbo plays Charley Chan. His character comes into view and see a younger looking Chan. He was fun hear give out his Chinese proverbs.
The rest of the cast is fun too, there's even a three song act. I give this a 9 because of the subtitles. And the cast resembles the usual faces of the time, 1931.
I don't recall having watch any of the Chan movies from so early. Maybe late 30's and later. Another good one from the series, for Latin speaker.
Columbo: Étude in Black (1972)
familiar faces!
This episode gave me a chance to see some actors I seen in movies and TV series before. I recognized the name of John Cassavetes from the opening credits. He was an actor I saw first in an episode of the television Western show Rawhide. In that episode, he was not a nice guy either or brother, or neighbor. Another actor I recognized was the Thin Man's wife Myrna Loy. That voice caught my attention before I even saw her face. And then Columbu met the butler who turned out to be Mr. Miyagi!!(Pat Morita)from the Karate kid. This was a good one for me because of the familiar faces. And that I got to see more Myrna than I thought I would. But at the same time, it was a little laid back on the action. It stayed put mostly on a set, so for that I give it a 7.
