Despite his best efforts, it&#8217;s difficult to forget that Sidney Toler (the second non-Asian to play the detective) is simply a white man in pseudo-Asian makeup, speaking in stereotypical pidgin English; this lessens the appeal of the movie enormously. With that said, the story itself is mildly entertaining, with multiple plausible suspects and some enjoyable back-stage glimpses at magic shows; and, since this is widely considered to be the best of the Sidney Toler series, it&#8217;s a good one to check out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some effectively atmospheric imagery and cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Eyes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Eyes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Eyes.jpg 352w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Eyes-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Eyes-128x87.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Effects.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Effects.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Effects.jpg 352w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Effects-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Effects-128x87.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sen Yung as Chan&#8217;s son &#8212; not a great performance, but it&#8217;s so refreshing to see an Asian (rather than a white) playing an Asian that he emerges as one of the highlights of the film<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Son.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Son.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Son.jpg 352w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Son-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/Charlie-Chan-Treasure-Island-Son-128x87.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, but only as a representative example of the Sidney Toler Charlie Chan series; it&#8217;s likely that another might suffice. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Representative Film<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0031147\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1939\/09\/01\/archives\/the-screen.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rinkworks.com\/movies\/m\/charlie.chan.at.treasure.island.1939.shtml\">At-a-Glance Film Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Sometimes black magic very close relative to blackmail.&#8221; Synopsis: Detective Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) and his eager son (Sen Yung) investigate the sudden death of a writer (Louis Jean Heydt) who has received a mysterious telegram from the famed hypnotist &#8220;Dr. Zodiac&#8221;.
