Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise (1940)

A nice little picture that stars Sidney Toler as Charlie. Also Marjorie Weaver and Robert Lowery (pictured here) as the romantic interests, and our old friend from the Sherlock Holmes movies,  Lionel Atwill. My wife was pouting that she hadn't seen a Charlie movie in a while, so we chose this one.

One of Charlie's old friends is murdered in his office, so he takes on the case as a personal matter. James Burke does his usual great job as the house detective who works with Charlie on the case. It is lightweight stuff, as they all are, but great fun nonetheless.
