"Charlie Chan at Treasure Island" is my favorite Chan film even though Chan is played by Sidney Toler, who is my second favorite actor to play the distinguished detective. Even though this movie does not have the benefits of Warner Oland's performance as Chan, this stands out as the best of the series.It combines an interesting mystery plot with great atmosphere, comedy, and an excellent supporting cast including Cesar Romero, Sen Yung, and Douglas Dumbrille. It also has the mysterious Dr. Zodiac and his seance parlour. Of historical interest, also, are the scenes of the 1939 World's Fair in San Francisco. Even when you know the killer's identity, this one is worth seeing over and over again!
