Hi Joe:)
Benny Hill Forever!!:)
I remember Charlie Chan as either
Warner Oland or Sidney Toller..
and every Charlie Chan movie by
them I ever saw, I liked:)
Mack: My wife and I love Charlie Chan movies, of course the TV stations had to play politically correct and remove the showings. Always loved #1 Son. You can pull up J. Carroll Naish on IDMB and check out all the movies he was in, you may recognize his face from a lot of WWII movies.
