CHARLIE CHAN IN EGYPT (1935)

The naturally spooky elements of ancient Egyptian archeology (Mummies, Death Curses, Hidden Treasure) don’t really do much for this Charlie Chan murder mystery. Warner Oland’s Chan would get a lot more out of the following film’s addition of Keye Luke’s Number One Son, a fine swap-out for this film’s Stepin Fetchit who’s at least a bit sharper than usual, he even gets a date. Fun to see Rita Hayworth, still billed as Rita Casino, in an early, barely recognizable appearance.
