Ted B @Movieaddicted 11/19/2024 2.0 stars; The mystery plot (the murderer and the means of the murder) was a good idea, but the implementation left a lot to be desired. Sydney Toler's performance was pretty much a walk-through. The comedy also fell short. The Birmingham character's skit about being able to disappear was funny the first time you saw it, but not so much the tenth time. See more Andy F 05/10/2023 After a terrific start this one fades into tedium, even among the Charlie Chan movies. His daughter is ineffective and the film relies on an increasingly tedious amount of jokes regarding Birmingham (who makes a welcome reappearance) jumping out of his skin.

The end result comes off as a tired and weak entry involving yet another phoney psychic and another presumably dead husband who has had plastic surgery to the extent not even his ex-wife can recognize him. Interestingly the usual bumbling Chan son is replaced by his beautiful daughter Frances (oddly enough played by Frances Chan) who is obviously one of the prides and joys of Charlie's life. While this is unique, Frances Chan is a bit of a stiff acting wise and her scenes, particularly with Birmingham never come to life. See more 03/02/2011 A Charlie Chan flick featuring Mantan Moreland. Charlie investigates a murder which occurred in a mansion during a séance. He uses his wily Yellowman skills to root out the real killer (which involved sedatives and a unique bullet). Maybe the only Charlie Chan comedy with horror elements. Not as funny as I was hoping, the the mystery was good enough. Also released as Meeting at Midnight.
