★★★ · Not the best Chan, but worth watching · jonfrum · 2011-05-23
An average later Chan. The setting isn't the greatest, but they do give you some behind-the-scenes at a radio studio. Most of the film is set inside a single building, so you dont' get the dramatic night lighting of some of the Chans. And this is another in a series of poorly-titles Chan movies - the scarlet clue might be a bloodstain, or it might just be a name pulled out of thin air - hard to tell. At least we get Mantan Moreland with his stage partner Ben Carter doing their double-talk act.
