  Charlie Chan - Wikipedia
Charlie Chan is a fictional Chinese-Hawaiian detective created by Earl Derr Biggers, reportedly in part under inspiration from the career of Chang Apana.
Charlie Chan appeared in six novels by Earl Derr Biggers from 1925 to 1932.
The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, an animated series made in the 1970s by Hanna-Barbera Productions and starring Keye Luke, was noteworthy only because it was the only occasion on which Charlie Chan has been played by an actor of Chinese descent.

Charlie obviously appreciates his "honorable wife" when he declares philosophically in Charlie Chan Carries On (1931) and Charlie Chan at the Race Track (1936), "Good wife best household furniture." It may be hard to think of a wife as household furniture, such as a sofa, but one friend once praised Mrs.

 The Truth about Charlie Chan vs. The Myths!
Charlie Chan in fact secured the protagonist's role intended for young Bostonian John Quincy Winterslip, who encounters murder in Honolulu in "The House without a Key," serialized in the 'Saturday Evening Post' in 1925, and then published by Bobbs-Merrill.
The fact that Charlie was always portrayed (in the series proper) by a white man is another sore spot, but one that is part and parcel of the star system and certainly not a direct racial slur.
In “Charlie Chan Carries On,” he threatens to resign his position with the Honolulu Police if he is not allowed to travel to the mainland to capture his friend, Inspector Fife’s, assailant.

 Charlie Chan in Paris
The otherwise standard series entry Charlie Chan in Paris is distinguished by the presence of actor Keye Luke, making his first appearance as Charlie Chan's (Warner Oland) "Number One Son" Lee.
With the none-too-expert assistance of son Lee, Charlie puts the pieces together and exposes the identity of the head counterfeiter (which, once again, is no surprise to veteran movie-mystery buffs).
Long believed lost, Charlie Chan in Paris was restored and released to television in the early 1980s, providing a ray of hope that such earlier "Chan" installments as Charlie Chan Carries On and Charlie Chan's Courage will one day resurface as well.

 The "Lost" Charlie Chan Film Scripts
Many fans of Charlie Chan are doubtless aware of the fact that four of the earliest films from the series are currently classified as "lost" with no known prints being available for viewing.
The second script is a "Screen Continuity" for "Charlie Chan's Chance." Carrying the date January 9, 1932, this script reflects what was contained in the completed film, and, as such, it probably offers a very accurate view of the completed movie.
In the case of "Charlie Chan Carries On," a goodly amount of visual material consisting of video captures from the Spanish language version of this film, "Eran Trece," has been used.

I hadn't known that there was something of a drama behind the scenes of Charlie Chan in Rio* until Chad Bennett had informed us almost three years ago in Rush Glick's chat room at www.charliechan.info.
Charlie Chan in Rio* has several interesting character actors: Mary Beth Hughes (Joan Reynolds) and Cobina Wright, Jr., (Grace Ellis) were so antagonistic off-screen that you can feel the tension between them in the movie.
She went on to Charlie Chan in Monte Carlo (1937), Charlie Chan in Reno (1939), Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise (1940), and Charlie Chan in Rio.

It all begins when Chan, on vacation from his job with the Honolulu police, tries to solve the murder of a wealthy American in a London hotel.
According to contemporary reviews, the film was enlivened by the dumb-blonde dialogue delivered by Marjorie White and by the bumbling villainy of Warren Hymer.
Though Charlie Chan Carries On is no longer available, its quality can be adequately gauged by a viewing of its 1940 remake, Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise.
