Wikipedia article
'Charlie Chan's Greatest Case' (1933) is an American pre-Code murder mystery film starring Warner Oland as the Oriental detective Charlie Chan. It was based on the Earl Derr Biggers novel 'The House Without a Key' (1925).
Oland made a series of Charlie Chan films; along with three others, this one is considered to be a lost film.
Reception
'The New York Times' reviewer wrote, "As far as the mystery of these particular murders is concerned it is not difficult for the audience to decide on the identity of the slayer, but the manner in which Chan makes his deductions is always interesting."
