Auction History Result 2y352 SHANGHAI COBRA 5 8x10 stills '45 Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan, Mantan Moreland, Benson Fong Date Sold 5/2/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) The Shanghai Cobra, the 1945 Phil Karlson Charlie Chan Asian China detective mystery crime thriller ("Charlie Chan in 'The Shanghai Cobra'"; "Original Story by George Callahan") starring Sidney Toler (as Charlie Chan), Mantan Moreland, Benson Fong (as Tommy, Number Three Son), James Cardwell, and Joan Barclay (in her last credited role). Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!
