THE GREAT CHARLIE CHAN
In 1931, 20th Century Fox (then known as the Fox Film Corp.) began production of what was to become Hollywood's longest-ru nning series of films. All told, 47 Charlie Chan movies were produced by F ox and other studios. Chan was a fictional Chinese-American detective from the Honolulu Police Department who solved crimes around the world by summ ing up the facts with clever and witty quotes told to his Number 1 Son. As ian wisdom became American pop culture. The most famous actors who portray ed Chan were Warner Oland followed by Sidney Toler.

In the 1960s when movies began to be popular and impo rtant television programming, Warner Bros. (then Warner Bros.-Seven Arts) acquired from Fox the TV rights to a large library of its films including 21 of the “\;Best Of”\; the Chans starring Oland and Toler. Thes e Chan movies were previously distributed to TV by other companies and wer e considered just a “\;throw-in”\; for the deal with Fox, and li ttle was expected from the sales department. That’\;s when the “ \;The Great Charlie Chan”\; documentary was born. Harvey Chertok, the n WB’\;s VP, Advertising, Promotion, Publicity, and his associate Mar tha Torge took on a challenge and came up with a plan to make $1,000,000 w ith these Chan films. (That was considered a lot in the 1960s.) One day th ey made a chart to show how they would do it and presented it to the W7 CE O, Eliot Hyman, who smiled and nodded OK.

--“\;Long journey always start with one short step.”\ ;

The plan included a Charlie C han Film Festival at the Museum Of Modern Art and the production of this d ocumentary to kick-off this gala press event which included a First Class buffet of Chinese food in the museum’\;s outdoor sculpture garden. (W hat an evening!) From that moment on this documentary helped to launch WB& #8217\;s series of 21 Chans on some 50 TV stations--and was also sold to C anada’\;s CBC as a Network Special.

--“\;With proper lever, baby's fingers can move mountains.< font face="Georgia">”\;

In addition, Chertok and Torge created a book for Golden Press—\ ;“\;Quotations From Charlie Chan”\;—\;which included Chan&# 8217\;s many famous quotes, and photos from the 21 films. And several stat ions bought quantities of the books to use for audience promotion. (The se ries’\; sales goal was exceeded.)

--“\;When money talks, fe w are deaf.”\;
