The Mystery of Mr. Wong (1939)

A Very Interesting Mystery


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
