Charlie Chan in Egypt (1935)

Directed by Louis King
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, 20th Century Fox)

Chan pokes around the pyramids in search of the murderer of an American archeologist. He finds a sparkly mask that floats in the dark, a mummy whose body has been switched, sliding doors and hidden underwater chambers , Rita Hayworth as a native housemaid and Stepin Fetchit as the dimwitted, slow-talkin' servant "Snowshoes" from Mississippi.
