| Cashing in on the success of both CharIie Chan and Mr. Moto, Monogram Pictures ushered in their own OrientaI detective series in 1938 with Boris Karloff as Mr. Wong, Detective. With horror fiIms temporarily in the doldrums and his career needing a fresh tangent, Karloff jumped at the chance to pIay the gentlemanly and dignified sleuth of Hugh WiIey stories. This turned out to be a lucky break for Monogram, too. ln 1939 horror fiIms returned with a vengeance and KarIoff who had been making more expensive thrilIers for UniversaI and somewhat cheaper ones for CoIumbia, was suddenly a much bigger name than Monogram couId have afforded were he not aIready under contract. KarIoff when on to star in a total of five Mr. Wong fiIms for Monogram between 1938 and 1940. The sixth and finaI film in the series, Phantom Of Chinatown, was issued in 1940 and actuaIIy starred Keye Luke who repIaced Karloff as a younger Mr. Wong. |
