Twentieth Century-Fox
Directed by Herbert Leeds
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Fox)
Chan is in Paris near the start of WWII. Arms smugglers commit murder and he teams up with the local police to solve it. The main problem is the French Police Inspector, played by Harold Huber, gets more dialogue and screen time than Charlie Chan! He is the dumbest police detective this side of Inspector Clouseau, but not nearly as funny. In fact, he is downright irritating and ruins the movie. The last line is by Charlie Chan, an omniscient warning about the dangers of "peace conferences".
