rodb:
Does anybody know if you request charlie chan films to show on tcm ; can they still show them?
OldMovieFan:
I would doubt it since the last time the showed them they stopped due to protest from the Asian community :(
John Cucinotta:
I forgot to post a message here, but a few days ago TCM showed "Before Dawn", a murder mystery from 1933. Warner Oland has a big part in the film, playing an Eastern European doctor here in the US. It's a good movie to watch, and it's interesting to see Oland in a different non-Asian character role. I've seen this film listed on the TCM schedule before, so it is possibly shown several times a year. Keep an eye on the schedule for this movie.
rodb:
it took a couple of watches to get used to oland as a villian
good watch
John Cucinotta:
TCM also occasionally shows "The Drums of Jeopardy", where Warner Oland plays a sinister non-Asian character. This is also a good movie to watch, and I will post a message if I see it turn up on the schedule.
