Wikipedia article




'Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise' is a 1940 murder mystery film starring Sidney Toler in his fifth of many performances as Charlie Chan. It is based on the Earl Derr Biggers 1930 novel 'Charlie Chan Carries On'.

Plot



The famed detective seeks to unmask a killer on a voyage across the Pacific Ocean.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, this story is primarily a remake of the (now) lost movie, 'Charlie Chan Carries On', (1931) starring Warner Oland. The story has been updated to include more Charlie, but it would be nice to have the missing movie to compare against.
