Charlie Chan in Rio (1941)


Twentieth Century-Fox
Directed by Harry Lachman
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Fox)

Charlie Chan is in Rio to arrest a murder suspect, but she ends up dead before he can do it. The suspects include a hypnotist, the butler, an ex-husband, a jilted lover, a brother and more. Jimmy Chan is more annoying than ever and is so excited that he appears to be on some kind of stimulant. However, it does a feature a classic scene of Charlie Chan smoking a funny cigarette to uncover the real killer.
