Review of Charlie Chan at Treasure Island (1939) by Amanda P — 09 Apr 2011
Wow. I feel racist just having put this on my NetFlix Queue. Imagine the dad from "Webster" playing the worst Chinese stereotype you can imagine in the form of a whodunnit. Now add B-roll from the Treasure Island World's Fair and the fad interest in Houdini.
Two stars for the awesome B-roll and the peek into what passed as combating stereotypes back then. Eeesh.
