Movie Reviews of Charlie Chan in The Chinese Cat
Movie Review: The Best Entry From THE CHANTOLOGY Box Set
Summary: 5 Stars
The 6 films in the box set basically concentrated on Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan joining the US Government during WII and solving mysteries involving weapons and other sundry items involved with the government. Due to the time era, Fox had dropped the series in fear of losing profits on the series and due to the anti-oriental sentiment at the time. B studio, Monogram picked the series up. "The Chinese Cat" deviates from the usual Chan films during this period and concentrates on murder and diamond smuggling with less emphasis on government projects. #3 son Benson Fong and sidekick Matlon Moore (portrayed as a very atypical stereotyped black person of era) are along for the fun and provide comic relief. Chan also has a few good one liners he delivers to #3 son. As most of the movies made during wartime were careful and cautionary, this outing is much more relaxed and entertaining and is more typical of the series prior to the war. I would stick with the pre-war movies (most of them are now public domain and not available). But if you can get them, they are far more enjoyable. For now, we have THE CHINESE CAT for our viewing pleasure.
The best outing by Chan during WWII.
