Review of City in Darkness (1939) by Orlok W — 24 Dec 2011
Charlie Chan is in Paris just before the war, and Paris is in Darkness because of it's fear of being bombed! What better time to commit murder! A munitions shipper is bumped off, and suspects galore abound.
Aided by a bumbling french police chief, Chan looks for clues and weeds out suspects. A few problems in this one.. Too much humor given to the police chief, and none of Chan's children make an appearance, which weakens this.
Seems Toler was phoning this one in.
