Charlie Chan at the Opera1936

Another mystery for Charlie and son#1.  This time an escaped amnesiac maniac (played by the wonderfully maniacal Boris Karloff) escapes after a triggered memory and goes on a rampage against those who he remembers.  Charlie fresh from the race course mystery is drawn in only to find himself amongst a murder at the opera. Can Charlie catch the killer before his midnight sailing and solve the mystery?  A fun movie with twists and turns. A lot more racial stereotyping of Chinese culture from one of the police detectives is an example of the time but apart from that, the type of mystery any chan fan would enjoy.  "Roses in romance like tenor in opera – sing most persuasive love song
