Charlie Chan in Reno is another fun installment in the Charlie Chan series. This is a good story with many talented supporting actors to watch for.George Slim Summerville as Sheriff Tombstone Fletcher. His favorite thing to say is horse-feathers.

Yet another great entry in the Charlie Chan series, this one has Sidney Toler as Chan, and he does a great job. Light, with a fast pace and I never lost interest. A fun mystery and one of the best in the series.The supporting cast is particularly good.
