I just saw this film on the Fox Movie Channel (DirecTV Satellite, 9 p.m.,
May 12th) and enjoyed it immensely! As a big WW II movie fan, I'm
surprised
I hadn't seen it before. Several things struck me about it: Walter
Pidgeon's devil-may-care performance, George Saunder's excellent
portrayal
of the Gestapo leader, and John Carradine's eminently creepy role as the

The characters are what make this movie intriguing, and stupid.....at
the same time! One is never quite sure who is what except we know Mr.
Moto is a good guy and the two cameramen are innocent but too goofy.
This, the fourth in the Peter Lorre-starred series of Moto films, re
minded me of the Monogram latter-day Charlie Chan films, with Mantan
Moreland, in which some silliness...

This was my first look ever at Peter Lorre's "Mr. Moto" character, and
I couldn't help but compare and contrast him to the famous "Charlie
Chan" of a similar period. "Mr. Moto" is charming but isn't the
comedian or the proverb-quoting Chan. I would have to watch a few more
Moto movies before I could really compare the two fairly, as for
quality and entertainment val...

I love these Moto flicks. I'll tell you that right out of the gate, and
the history of these low budget detective films is almost more
interesting then the films themselves. First of all, Peter Lorre was

actor, which tells me he studied p...
