Charlie Chan in London (1934)

Directed by Eugene Forde
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, 20th Century Fox)

Despite the title, most of the film takes place at a country estate far from the city. A group of wealthy English gentry are the suspect pool as Chan tries to clear a man facing a hanging for a crime he didn't commit. Chan decides to reconstruct the crime, a nasty murder involving a large knife, and this provides the necessary clues leading to the arrest. A young "Raymond" Milland is among the suspects. Pleasant if undistinguished Chan mystery.
