Auction History Result 1e122 CHARLIE CHAN & THE CURSE OF THE DRAGON QUEEN int'l 1sh '81 Peter Ustinov, wacky artwork! Date Sold 5/8/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded International One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 24 1/2" x 33" [62 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen, the 1981 Clive Donner mystery crime comedy ("Murderer who turn victim into human baked potato have real appetite for crime."; "Bizarre Murders Shock City Charlie Chan Called In!") starring Peter Ustinov (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Lee Grant, Brian Keith, Roddy McDowall, Rachel Roberts, Michelle Pfeiffer, Richard Hatch, (billed as "Richard Hatch as Lee Chan Jr."), and Angie Dickinson (in the title role "as the Dragon Queen"). 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

Also note that this is an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box and NSS information. Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The borders of the poster have been trimmed and the title area has been covered with a snipe so the poster could be used with Danish-speaking audiences. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
