The Golden Eye (1948) - Charlie Chan

This one is set on an Arizona dude ranch. Our old friend Mantan Moreland is back as Birmingham Brown, the intrepid chauffer, and Roland Winter is Charlie. Victor Sen Yung is Tommy, Charlie's son of the hour. (You haven't lived until you have seen Moreland in a full cowboy outfit, complete with chaps.)

Winter was not as comical as Sidney Toler nor as dignified as Warner Oland, but was the most businesslike of the three actors portraying Charlie.

Wanda McKay plays the female lead. It might (or might not) interest you to know that she was Miss American Aviation of 1938. Her real name was Dorothy Quackenbush, so it is not difficult to see why she went with a stage name.
