Интересные факты

Shadows Over Chinatown is a 1946 American mystery film directed by Terry O. Morse. The film stars Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan, and features Victor Sen Yung as Number Two Son Jimmy and Mantan Moreland as Chan's chauffeur.

Production

The working title was The Mandarin Secret. The Shadows Over Chinatown title had been coined in 1940 for Doomed to Die, one of Monogram's Mr. Wong mysteries, but discarded at that time. Doomed to Die was written by British author Ralph Bettinson, who had also written the 1939 British film The Torso Murder Mystery. The theme of The Torso Murder Mystery is reused in Shadows over Chinatown, although Bettinson receives no screen credit.

The 72-year-old Sidney Toler had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but insisted on continuing his commitment to the film series. The studio accommodated him by granting him prolonged breaks, and staging the scenes so as not to tax his strength. According to Mantan Moreland, "Mr. Toler couldn't stand for very long and had to rest a lot. I told him he should be in a hospital.
