Nice touch, there is Charlie Chan on the playbill. One funny thing about these films is that some of the good guys are as dumb as some of the bad guys. So hard to find good help. Turning left would be 90 degrees and a sailor would say "port".
PF always my first choice. Love the 5 Peter Lorre episodes; disagree with critics. Especially the Asian antiquities sets. Love Ricardo Cortez's upbeat Sam Spade in the very engaging, often parallel, 1931 "Maltese Falcon." Must see!
Fantastic film, thanks so much!

A Hungarian playing a Japanese agent, an American playing a British agent, a Brit playing a (French) spy, a couple of American actresses playing French women and an English actress playing an American plus a few others playing undisclosed nationalities yet somehow it gets away with it.
The shading is terrible.
Anybody here from chuck? He watched this movie on the last stream he did
I know that by our contemporary standards « yellowface » is abhorrent, but you have to admit that Peter Lorre really pulled it off well. And not in a stereotypical way either. His Mr. Moto is cunning, brave and a good fighter and has little of the pithy « Oriental » full of fake proverbs.
I have zero interest in these old British movies. Zero.
The movie date appears to be 1937 or 1938 not 1939 This may explain why the country that was responsible for the sabotage was kept secret at the end of the film. In 1939 the enemies of the French and British fleets were well known as any of the Axis powers and no need to keep a secret. This also may explain Sanders indeterminate phony accent- to avoid making it clear that Germany etc. were known by the filmmakers to be on their way to the most humanly destructive war. .Only to be exceeded by the unknowing destruction of Earth by burning oil, coal and gas that had been safely stored deep in the earth for hundreds of millions of years.
Epic fight scene at the end. Rad!!👍
Brilliant acting brilliant cast ripping yarn

O Yes!
So Sad. Mr. Moto died leading his men on a banzai charge on the island of Kwajalein in 1942.
Then Mr. Mottos people bombed Pearl Harbor and committed many unspeakable atrocities against the World and its inhabitants.
Who the heck wrote that note in Japanese? LOL.
Nice. Liked Charlie Chan on theater marquee. Great u defeated fight scene for the time.
George Sanders!
Mr. Moto is awesome.
loved it!!!
These movies were pretty corny by today's standards. But they're still fun to watch.
Good ole John Carradine playing the British agent. You gotta love the white suits, shoes, and hats. A very elegant period that lasted up through the early 60's.
Peter Loire an george saunders.it seems as if the actors male female have never knew of these actors. They retain nothing of these amazing characters. Sad thank you for these flicks. But they are much , much more .
Thanks for sharing this.

Peter Lorre was an wonderful actor. This was an EXCELLENT movie and it's a shame that few movies today are made in this character
