An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More)

The Feathered Serpent, the 1948 William Beaudine Asian detective crime mystery thriller ("Earl Derr Bigger's character") starring Roland Winters ("as Charlie Chan"), Keye Luke (as Lee Chan), Mantan Moreland, Victor Sen Yung (as Tommy Chan), and Robert Livingston. Note that this is the only Charlie Chan movie we can remember where he had two sons, where one was not very young. Since the main purpose of the son was for Charlie to have someone to explain everything to, we are not clear why he had two sons in this movie! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!
