Review of Charlie Chan in Egypt (1935) by Jeff Z — 30 Nov 2010
Two of cinema's greatest racist charactures-that got away with it because they're so good, Charlie Chan and Stepin Fetchit are put into a film together! Charlie Chan is called into Egypt for one reason or another, but, as usual, he finds a murder on his hands.
A lot of the other actors do all the meaty work while Oland just stands around burbling proverbs lol. Still, this is one of the more entertaining Charlie Chan vehicles, primarily because of the bizarre addition of Mr.
Fetchit.
