Date Sold 11/15/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Television Still (Learn More) Charlie Chan at the Olympics, the 1937 H. Bruce Humberstone Asian detective Berlin Germany sports crime mystery thriller ("Murderous spies invade Olympic games!"; "A new world's record for thrills ....even for Chan!"; "Based on the character 'Charlie Chan' created by Earl Derr Biggers") starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Katherine DeMille, Pauline Moore, Allan 'Rocky' Lane, Keye Luke (as Lee Chan), C. Henry Gordon, Jonathan Hale, and Morgan Wallace. Note that the events in this movie take place at the infamous 1936 Berlin Olympics, where Adolf Hitler presided over the games, hoping they would prove Germany's Aryan superiority, but of course, exactly the reverse occurred! Also 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!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 still is undated, but we think it is quite likely that it is a 1950s re-release (probably from 1956 or after, possibly from when the movie was sold to be shown on TV). We have seen other stills from classic 1930s and 1940s movies that have similar titles at the bottom and are on a similar paper stock, and most of them date from 1956 or soon after, when studios re-struck stills from the original negatives for theatrical or TV re-releases of those classic movies. Condition: good to very good. There are two tiny dots of surface paper loss in the left and right of Oland's jacket, with some faint scuffs in that area. Otherwise, the still is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
