An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Dead Men Tell, the 1941 Harry Lachman detective mystery crime thriller (Based on the character 'Charlie Chan' created by Earl Derr Biggers; "Aboard a treasure ship Chan battles his most elusive adversary... The ghost of a pirate 100 years dead!"; "Dead Men Tell No Tales!"; "Dead men do tell tales... and Charlie Chan is there to listen... as he battles the ghost of a pirate 100 years dead - for $60,000,000 in buried treasure!") starring Sidney Toler ("as Charlie Chan"), Sheila Ryan, Robert Weldon, Victor Sen Yung (billed as "Sen Yung"; as Jimmy Chan), Don Douglas, Katharine Aldridge, George Reeves, Truman Bradley (as the pirate's ghost), Milton Parsons, and Charles Tannen. 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!
