Review of The Mystery of Mr. Wong (1939) by D M — 28 Sep 2013

Not related to the similarly titled Mysterious Mr Wong, this is the first in a series of "Mr Wong" films. A huge famous sapphire is smuggled out of China into America. As its possessor attempts to return to its rightful place, others around him are being murdered, Mr Wong investigates.

I'd rather see charlie Chan investigating. A ho-hum mystery from this era. Though it is funny seeing Boris Karloff as an Asian, this is far from his first; his best was as one in the great Mask of Fu Manchu.
