One of my least favorite Charlie Chan films seems slow and static. the film has the great detective in Egypt and getting involved in murder around an excavation. Part of the problem is that the film feels terribly set bound. I never felt that I wasn't anywhere other than in Hollywood with a cast that was just trying to be glitzy. Give Fox points for making a film that is very much A list, but take many points for what is really a dull by the book mystery. I know some people really like this film a great deal, but for me this is not one I rarely ever choose to see with any screenings always done as the result of watching a video tape where its between two other entries in the series I like. Worth seeing once for Chan fans, other wise I'd skip it.
