MR. WONG - DETECTIVE(1938)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Boris Karloff plays the Chinese detective Mr. Wong
in this first of five films that he starred in!! This
is a "door is locked from the inside and a man is
killed" murder mystery, which Wong solves with much
fun!! Kinda like Sherlock Holmes, but without the
flair or sidekick to help out!! Still, a good little
detective movie!! B+
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
This is another good Boris Karloff Mr. Wong film. I
found the film average paced (not slow nor quick - about
right for a film of this nature).
This time Mr. Wong is trying to find out who is killing
people at the chemical manufacturing plant - the
bosses/partners are dying off one by one by a
poisonous gas. It is an international spy ring that
wants a particular formula and it's up to Mr. Wong
& Captain Sam Street to find out who and why they
are doing this.
Worth watching if you like mysteries, Mr. Wong films
and/or Boris Karloff - it's a really fun watch! 8/10 - Rainey Dawn
