MR. WONG - DOOMED TO DIE(1940)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics


Karloff's last turn at Mr. Wong!! This one is as
good as the rest!! A shipping magnet is killed with
a young man in his office who was there to ask for
his daughter's hand in marraige!! Wong gets involved
as there are many suspects!! This is in no way a
horror/terror movie!! A

From a reviewer from IMDb.com:

"Doomed to Die" is a fun Karloff 'Mr. Wong' detective
mystery-thriller. It's got a fair amount of suspense and
a couple of twists that will keep you guessing who the
murderer is.

There is a comical duo in this movie that quite hilarious
at times; they are Roberta 'Bobbie' Logan and Capt.
William "Bill" Street. These two really help bring some
light into an otherwise dark film.

The Boris Karloff 'Mr. Wong' film series are worth
watching if you are into crime mystery-thrillers similar
to Sherlock Holmes. And "Doomed to Die" is definitely
a good movie.

A little fun trivia fact: According to the US Inflation
Calculator, those two martini's in the film costing $4.00
total would cost you $67.60 for both today (2015) - that
is $33.80 for each martini or $2.00 each in 1940.
