Charlie Chan in Paris (1935)

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

Chan is on a secret case for a London bank tracking down fraudulent bonds. He is lead to a French cafe where the floor show features a violent dance, and an even more violent ending. The murders begin to stack up, and all clues point to a disguised blind man. Chan and and his elder son Lee barely escape becoming victims themselves in the sewers of Paris. Fun, but lesser Chan, which barely exploits the Paris setting.
