The movie was a little bit too confusing to enjoy properly. Lots of suspects, not enough times to know them more, one little bit too clever detective and you have the ingredients for an hour of complicated mystery.
The mood is good for the genre. The action is settled in a wax museum of past criminals. And of course, there's the famous Charlie Chan with his proverbs and witty remarks. Sidney Toler is good in the role of the Chinese detective.
One quote from the movie. When sentenced to be killed on December the 9th, the guy says: «Oh thanks judge, I won't have to do Christmas shopping»!
Out of 100, I gave it 70. That's ** on a four stars rating system.
