Love these movies. Don't sleep well so I watch them late night and early mornings. Boris Karloff and Peter Lorrie are my favorites. Also love the old time radio shows. I am thrilled when I see young people who comment that they love these programs also.

I’m going through a rough time at the moment. I’ve become disabled and need to use a chair, my husband of 34 years has decided a wife whose disabled is not a good look so he’s divorcing me, and my darling daughter has just lost her partner from a motorbike accident. I’m exhausted as I can’t sleep worrying about my daughter and how as a mother I can’t take her pain away, or make it better. This film has just given me a rest from worrying. Just watching this film and nothing else is what I needed I don’t watch television or go to the cinema as it’s all left wing woke rubbish You can’t beat a wonderful black and white film where sex, violence, and swearing is nowhere to be seen. I was thinking this was made just at the start of the Second World War. Boris Karloff is such a good actor, and I think I may be binge watching Mr Wong movies from now on. Thank you so much for downloading these films. If it wasn’t for people like you I’d have no idea what I’d be able to watch. It’s really appreciated

I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing & the circumstances life has given you currently. 🙏 ❤ praying for you and your daughter as you move forward through this difficult time.

I'm a bit surprised at how modern a plot line this is: theft of antiquities and their repatriation is a rather modern take for the time period of this script. Setting aside the stock characters and pretty terrible dialogue, oh...and the tendency of actors of this period to think they were in a playhouse where they had to 'fill the room' with their voice. That was also partly due to the rather primitive sound equipment of the day and recording on set. Today a lot of dialogue is done after filming, in a sound studio, with the actors re-doing the scene dialogue in order to get a perfect recording, just like the way they add sound effects. All in all, these are damned good for their day. Lighting? Well...primitive is the word that comes to mind. Over-lit, under-lit, washed out, over saturated...pretty much did everything wrong that can be done wrong. In another ten years, movie production values were a hundred times better.
