Mr. Chan is the Man


It is a foregone conclusion that by the conclusion of the movie Charlie will out the culprit of the crime in question and procede to gamely explain the motive for the murder or theft. Getting there is half the fun. Everything in between the beginning and the end makes for a fun ride.

Nobody says anything like that anymore. Great stuff.

Agree with you completely. It’s a foregone conclusion that Charlie will get his man (or woman), but getting to the 11th hour roundup of all the suspects is a lot of fun. For what it’s worth, I’m usually wrong when it comes to picking the murderer.
