Charlie Chan's Chance
1932, English. Directed by John G. Blystone.
With eyes that see all, lips that tell nothing, Charlie Chan unmasks the most sinister crime of his career.
Charlie is the intended murder victim here, and he avoids death only by chance. To find the murderer (since, of course, murder does occur), Charlie must outguess Scotland Yard and New York City police.
