Auction History Result 5p0077 CHARLIE CHAN IN PARIS WC 1935 great headshot image of Asian detective Warner Oland! Date Sold 12/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) Charlie Chan in Paris, the 1935 Lewis Seiler France Asian detective mystery crime thriller (based on the characters by Earl Derr Biggers) starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Mary Brian, Thomas Beck, Erik Rhodes, Keye Luke, Dorothy Appleby, John Miljan, and Henry Kolker. 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. Condition: good. The card has darkened and the blank top was mostly trimmed off. It has stains, smudges, and scuffs around the edges, and some scattered through the image. The bottom left corner was folded over, and someone restored that area without backing the card, and they also restored a 3" tear in the lower left border. They put a little restoration paint on one of Oland's eyebrows. Otherwise, they did no restoration, and the card has not been backed. Learn More about condition grades
