Interesting facts
Dangerous Money is a 1946 American film directed by Terry O. Morse, featuring Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan.
Production
The role of Chan's chauffeur Birmingham Brown was traditionally played by comedian Mantan Moreland, but not in this film. Mantan Moreland and Ben Carter, seen in the 1945 Chan mystery The Scarlet Clue, became so popular as a comedy team that they embarked on a coast-to-coast personal-appearance tour for eight weeks, which is why Moreland was missing from the next two Chan pictures, The Red Dragon and Dangerous Money.
Sidney Toler was seriously ill during filming. Diagnosed with cancer, the 72-year-old Toler could hardly walk but insisted on seeing the project through. Monogram hired Toler's original foil, "Number Two Son" Sen Yung (now billed on screen as Victor Sen Young), easing the burden on Toler and relieving him of some of the action.
