BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Rainey Dawn This is one of the better mystery films where Boris Karloff stars as Mr. Wong. This one deals with a man, Brendan Edwards, who is an antique collector and loves the Chinese arts and he has just acquired the rare sapphire known as Eye of the Daughter of the Moon. Mr. Edwards also suspects he will be murdered soon but has decided to put the name of the person who he suspects in a sealed letter in his safe - he did show that letter to Mr. Wong and explained a few thing to him. One night Mr. Edwards and his wife throw a party and had a few party games to entertain their guests, one of the games played that evening was "charades" - it turned out to be a deadly game for Mr. Edwards. Mr. Wong, who was one of the many guests that evening, is on the case.What is good about this particular Mr. Wong mystery is that there are a handful of suspects with good motives to kill Mr. Edwards, so there are couple of twist and turns that will keep this Mr. Wong film interesting.9/10

Paularoc For me, the Mr. Wong series was a poor man's Charlie Chan. The series was still somewhat enjoyable thanks to Boris Karloff's performance as the soft spoken, intellectual, and Oxford and Heidleberg educated James Lee Wong. Brendan Edwards, a wealthy and odious antiques collector invites Wong to a party in order to show him a recent acquisition - a sapphire called the Eye of the Daughter of the Moon. The gem was stolen from a Chinese museum but that doesn't bother Edwards. What does bother him is that he has received a death threat because he now has the gem. When Edwards is murdered during a charades game, there are suspects a plenty including Edwards' mistreated wife, the secretary who loves the wife, Edwards' lawyer and two shady characters who want to get the gem back from Edwards. The resolution to the mystery relies on Wong having information that wasn't previously shared with the viewer. This is somewhat unusual for having a very sympathetic character as the murderer. For a Monogram, the production values were pretty good and with a couple of exceptions, so was the cast. But it's Karloff that makes this worth a watch.

Michael O'Keefe This low budget Monogram film is not short on intrigue or mystery. The largest sapphire in the world, "Eye of the Daughter of the Moon", has been stolen from an antiques collector, Brandon Edwards(Morgan Wallace), at the same time of his murder. His wife(Dorothy Tree) and her lover(Craig Reynolds)are of course of great suspect. The renown Chinese sleuth Mr. Wong(Boris Karloff)is called on to solve both crimes; and the clues are leading to one culprit. Once again Wong calls on his friend Police Captain Sam Street(Grant Withers)to help in the investigation. A fine detective flick worth watching. Other players include: Ivan Lebedeff, Lotus Long and Joe Devlin.

jcholguin Yes, Mr. Wong is on hand when a murder of a friend takes place. He could not prevent it but works with Capt. Sam Street of the police to solve it. The means of death is not complicated or ingenious - shooting with a silencer. But there are a number of suspects. Ballistics prove that the bullet came from a high angle. Quickly, half of the suspects are off the hook and the film becomes a relatively easy whodunit. Elementary for Mr. Wong, but of course the police are on the wrong track. Good film to see late at night when the "little gray cells" need a rest or if complicated sleuthing is not your "expertise."
